Children's Tickets - Free for Under 16s

Introducing the next generation to something special. 

We firmly believe the future of gundog sport starts with getting young people through the gate, which is why children under the age of 16 are admitted completely free of charge when accompanied by a paying adult.

That said, a ticket must be reserved for every child attending. This helps us manage capacity safely and ensures everyone has a great day.

Children's Tickets:

Children (under 16): Free

All children must be accompanied by a responsible adult ticket holder and remain under their responsibility throughout the event.
