Health and Safety
As veterinary professionals we are committed to holding an event that keeps both dogs and their owners safe at all times. There will be dogs on site as part of event displays and demonstrations. Dogs owned by attendees will be welcome but must be on a lead unless taking part in a controlled event in a confined area. Owners must obey the following rules:
- Dogs must be on a lead and under control at all times
- Dogs cannot be left tied up unattended.
- Dogs will not be allowed near the stables, on the racetrack itself, or indoors.
- Dogs will not be allowed in the indoor market area
We will have a team of volunteers/staff present to help manage these restrictions.
Covid Restrictions: The intent is to only run the event if conditions allowing unrestricted numbers at outdoors gatherings are in place.

The event on Saturday evening will be hosted by the Southern Institute of Technology in the Hansen Hall auditorium. This is a large space previously used for educational talks organised by the SIT Veterinary Nursing team.
The event on Sunday will be held in conjunction with the Ascot Park Raceway Sunday Market at the Ascot Park Raceway. This location allows plenty of space for both events to take place with access to food on site for participants.
