FAQs

Q: What is the Postcode of the Wag & Bone Show?
A: The Postcode is SL4 2HP

Q: Are dogs allowed in if they are not competing?
A: We welcome all dogs at the Wag & Bone Show whether competing or not - the show is for them!

Q: How do I enter for the Top Dog Competition?
A: Just click on the 'Buy your Tickets Now' button on the left of the page. Alternatively, call the box office on 0871 230 5569. You can also enter on the day but spaces are limited.

Q: How do I volunteer to help at the show?
A: Just email info@thewagandboneshow.com with your details and we will be in touch.

Q: Are dogs docked after the ban welcome at the show?
A: As the Wag & Bone Show makes a charge for admission, docked dogs are,
unfortunately, restricted by the law if they are being brought to the
show to compete.  In this particular case, the dogs docked before the
ban came into place are not affected and may compete, but the dog which
was docked after the ban - even though it was docked legally - may not
compete.  If the dogs are simply being brought to the show to enjoy the
atmosphere (ie and not compete) then there is no problem.

   Q: Can I come to the show if I do not own a dog?
   A: All dog lovers are welcome, even if you do not own a dog. It is a great day out for
   all members of the family!
 

Q: Are tents accepted on the camp site?
A: Yes, motorhomes, caravans and tents are all welcome.

 

 Q: Will there be an official programme at the show?
A: There is an official programme - it is £4.50 in advance and £5 at the gate. You can pay in advance by clicking on the 'Buy Your Tickets Here' Box or phoning the box office on 0871 230 5569.
