We love dogs as much as you do, but to ensure the safety and well-being of all dogs and visitors, we kindly ask you to leave your furry friend at home.

• Safety FirstWith thousands of attendees, ensuring the safety of visitor dogs is not feasible. We would need to pre-test behaviour, check vaccination records, and manage interactions—a logistical impossibility.
• Controlled EnvironmentAll participating dogs are carefully selected and monitored to ensure they are comfortable and stress-free.
• Hygiene ConcernsIndoor venues pose challenges for dog "bathroom breaks," and managing clean-ups in a crowded space would create unnecessary frustration for visitors.
• Family-FriendlyThe festival attracts many children, and unpredictable interactions (like tail pulling or hug tackles) could lead to dangerous situations.

Your pooch will thank you for attending!
