All other dogs will NOT be allowed at the show.
Vivary Park is a small showground and, in places paths and spaces are very narrow and can get very crowded at times, which makes it unsafe to have dogs in the showground. As we hire Vivary Park to put on Taunton Flower Show, we must return it in a clean condition, which means our volunteers would have to clear up after dogs. We do not feel it is right to ask people who have volunteered their time to do this. We are also aware that, as a family friendly show, there are lots of children who are uncomfortable around dogs.
Please do NOT to leave dogs in your cars whilst you attend the show – the weather is often very hot.
The show opens on Friday to the public at 10:30 (Members can enter from 09:30) and closes to all at 18:00
The show opens on Saturday to all from 09:30 and closes at 17:00
