Can I bring my dog?

We welcome well-behaved dogs on leads on the airfield paddocks, in the Sunroom of the Runway Café and in the Visitor Centre. Dogs are not permitted in the Hangars, the main Runway Café areas, Swiss Garden or Shuttleworth House and the surrounding parkland.

Due to the nature of the pyrotechnics in the show, dogs are not permitted at Flying Proms.

Service dogs are permitted across the entirety of the site.

Please note that there is no shade in our parking areas.
