A dog-friendly day will be held on Sunday, August 13 so that four-legged friends can enjoy the fields and not feel left out.

Other than assistance dogs, dogs will not be allowed on the fields on any other date during the opening period.

People have been asked not to pick or damage the flowers, but freshly-picked bouquets are available to purchase.

There is seating on-site for families to enjoy their picnics and there are toilet and baby changing facilities on-site.
