all dogs on a lead except in the show arenas,where they may have to do agility ect,please note the far end of the park away from the hustle/bustle may be a idea for exercise,but with up to 15,000 people around on the day a lead at all times,i think may be the best policy ,hope you and your dog and everyone has a great day,you may need a umbrella thanks

Please note that due to the organisers unexpected illness, the ferret show will be operating on a smaller scale (please check for changes)and there will be no ferret racing this year.

 

Please bear with us with this as we are doing our best to keep the show going and not let people down.

the festival ground has been inspect and solid,the weather is not going to be great,BUT

it can change and even the weather people are not sure due to various circumstance,but other than a act of god its on,pity the ferret show will be smaller but it will match last years at least and I have obtained lots of rossettes,everything else booked is fine with no cancelations,so its warm so just have a light weight mac with you thanks

Correction

 

The sheffield transport bus -874 - was in service till 1976 it was bought to replace trams on intake route but did see service on the meadowhead route

Hope the weather forecast is wrong for Sunday, heavy rain most of the day.

[Moonbird 10]

We are determined to have a great day no matter what the weather does

I've just been for a walk in green hill park very surprised how dry the grass is , in area I looked. Let's hope the forecast is wrong and we miss the rain.

Will the festival still go ahead in the pouring rain?

[andrejuan 10]

Yes I was wondering if it is still on, this year looks like the best ever and a great show planned.

 

Any updates?
