BUSFEST - DOGS
Many of you who come to Busfest bring dogs with you.
We generally do not have a problem with that, as most of you are responsible dog owners who control and clear up after your animals.
But every now and again things start to get out of hand, and we must remind you that being able to bring your dogs to Busfest is a privilege not a given. Many events at this showground and others do not allow dogs on site anymore.
In the past we have come close to banning dogs at the event, but instead have introduced policies that have avoided that.
We now have a “Dog Free” Camping area and have an exclusion policy for dogs in the enclosed evening entertainment venues.
But now we are having to revisit this subject again as the sheer number of dogs attending the event and the behaviour of them (and some of their owners) is causing quite a few problems.
In particular, within the Trade areas, dogs and their owners are NOT all acting responsibly, and we have had numerous incidents of dogs soiling traders stock and stands and owners not even attempting to control their dogs.
ARE DAY VISITORS ALLOWED?
EXTRA ADULTS ARRIVING IN PRE BOOKED CAMPING UNITS?
YES
We will be able to take fees on the day at the gates for additional (unbooked) passengers arriving in vehicles already advance booked for camping.

WHAT ARE THE FANCY DRESS THEMES THIS YEAR?
We usually leave it all to you to with your own creative minds to come up with your own FANCY DRESS ideas for the event, and yep we have had some fantastic cosumes and themes appear every year.
BUT, this year for those of you who might need a little guidance (& persuasion!) there are THREE very definitely THEMED EVENING ENTERTAINMENTS that you might like to really get to grips with and play (and dress!) the part......
IT IT REALLY UP TO YOU WHICH THEME (OR GENDER) YOU WANT TO BE....................... Check out our Entertainment page HERE
(OF COURSE, THE MAIN SITE THEME AT BUSFEST WILL ALWAYS BE "VW TRANSPORTERS" - this year it is "WORK REST & PLAY")
