Dogs at Rivendell Festival

Are dogs allowed at Rivendell Festival 2026?

After a successful year welcoming well-behaved dogs to Rivendell, we've decided to allow dogs again for Rivendell Festival 2026. We've had lots of requests, so here’s the official stance: ✅ Dogs Are Welcome — But With Rules To keep everyone safe and ensure the festival remains enjoyable for all, please follow these guidelines: 🐾 Dogs must be kept on leads when moving around the site 💩 Clean up after your dog — no exceptions 🙏 Be mindful of others — if your dog is prone to barking or may disturb neighbouring campers, please leave them at home 🚫 Dog-Free Areas — Dogs are not permitted in: The Glade The Marquee The Army Tent The Shack These areas can get busy and loud, so keeping them dog-free helps ensure safety and comfort for everyone. Rivendell is all about a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, and last year proved that with a bit of consideration, dogs can absolutely be part of that. Thanks for helping us keep Rivendell welcoming for humans and well-behaved pups alike. See you in the woods for Rivendell Festival 2026 🌲🐶
