I see latest Fairport email is recommending not bringing dogs if possible.

I really do hope people listen to that.  Personally, I think it could have been a little bit more instructive as opposed to suggestive, but hopefully everybody will be sensible.  They won't, of course, but hey...

I agree
Couldn’t be more wishy washy.
Just state that due to conditions this year no dogs allowed.
You’d have to be some sort of owner to trapse a dog round in what could be 36 degree heat.
Other festivals have put animal welfare first and done the right thing but fairport aren’t.
Isn’t a good look imo.

I wouldn’t take a dog there, but just think of the complexities of getting dogs into boarding kennels at short notice in the school holidays. It’d be impossible and the cost of kennels on top of tickets could be prohibitive.
Be realistic too.
