Although we love dogs, we operate a strict no dog’s policy for visitors (apart from assistance dogs or those competing).

A small number of workshops run a booking system due to the nature of their activity, which are listed below. Each of these workshops will offer timeslots throughout the day which you can book on to. These workshops will take bookings at their own stands which are all in the main Hall 1. Bookings for the morning sessions will open at 9am and bookings for the afternoon sessions will open at 12noon, please go to the activity stands to book. These activities will also have a number of places for walk-ups at each session, therefore if you haven’t been able to book a place you can wait for a walk up place.

• Bread Making
• Sausage Roll Making with Ladies in Pigs
• Kiddy Cook
• Willow Weaving
• Burger Making
• Cup Cake Decorating

Please arrive on time for your booked slot or your place will be given to someone else.

Gates open from 9am – 4.30pm
