Historically dogs on non-extendable leads have always been welcome at Art in the Pen. Although dogs are still welcome; since covid we have had an increase of dogs attending and this does cause a few problems.
Due to the nature of the venue and the smells; dogs will often cock-a-leg. Once one dog has been, every other dog will follow suit to cover this smell. This isn't nice for the dogs 'chosen' exhibitor
Also as visitor numbers have now increased, we do not feel the event is the safest place for tails and paws and we do not want your dog to be frightened or injured.
Therefore dogs will not be turned away, but please do think about whether it is the best event for your dogs to attend
