Apparently Guide Dogs are encouraging people NOT to bring their pet dogs with them to this event since their will be working guide dog teams in attendance. However, they have said that since it is a public park that allows dogs, they cannot stop people, but I get the impression that they would prefer people to attend without their dogs.

Panto Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Bumping this thread - anyone know of any Sydney based doggie events in the near future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruthless Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Pet Expo in Rosehill weekend of 18 Feb is the only one I can think of off the top of my head. No pets allowed though AFAIK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panto Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I am not in Sydney for this, but thought other people might be interested: The official Mardi Gras season kicks off this weekend with Fair Day. A fun and relaxed day out in the park with friends and family, even your pets! There will be plenty of entertainment, food and activities including the popular Doggywood competition for our furry friends and their owners to compete in. 10am-8pm, Sunday 12th February 2012 Victoria Park, Near City Road and Parramatta Road, Camperdown Camperdown 2006 Link Up to 70 000 people routinely turn out to sit on the grass, browse the stalls, enjoy the wide range of delicacies available at the stalls, have a few drinks, but most of all, catch up with old friends – and make some new ones. Fair Day 2011 saw record numbers of people head down to Victoria Park and enjoy a day in the sunshine. Entertainment highlights from the Foxtel Main Stage included a set from Zoe Badwi that had the whole crowd up and dancing, smooth electro fun from Garcon Garcon and one of our biggest ever “Mr and Mrs Fair Day” competitions ever. Around the park, crowd favourites included a bustling Gaydar Garden Lounge and the fabulous canines of Dulcie’s Dog Show. New elements such as the Paparazzi photobooths and the Top Gun ride were very popular, and “Say Something” Mardi Gras merchandise was spotted all around the park. Come along to Victoria Park Camperdown on Sunday 12th February for Fair Day, and celebrate the start of Mardi Gras Festival in 2012! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linus Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Nothing found on google searches, but I did find the Duck Inn (Chippendale) which has a dog friendly beer garden... might suss it out with Panto. Can I ask if the London pub in Balmain is doggy friendly? Can you have lunch or something to eat with your doggy present? Some friends and I would like to try it, with our pooches, we drove past there two weeks ago and couldn't see anyone with dogs around..

Linus Yep, dogs are allowed all day Sunday to Thursday and before 7pm Friday and Saturday. The food is disgusting though, personally I wouldn't bother!!! Thanks minimax, we drove past and could see no pooches so wasn't sure. We were at Rozelle markets that day with our pooches (we took 3 bull terrier pups, a 13wk old and two 5 month old pups). Rozelle markets was great, people were friendly towards our dogs, though it was a bit crowded - a lot of people asking what breed - so was quite impressed. Will probably go back in a couple of weeks, with the dogs, but would like to find somewhere doggy friendly and have lunch. Again thanks very much for the reply Linus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whippetsmum Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Not strictly doggie events but I've found Windsor Markets (George St Mall, Windsor) is on leash dog friendly, you can wander through the stalls and grab a coffee, or fish and chips etc. Every Sunday 9-3.30 If you take Windsor Rd, you go past the off leash park at Rouse Hill if the dogs need a run, and there's also an off leash at Windsor. http://www.windsormallcraftmarket.com.au/ The people at the Castle Hill Artisan's Fair were quite friendly towards my on leash friends. Castle Hill Showground- Entry via Carrington Rd 25th Mar/15th Apr/20th May/17th Jun/15th July 19th Aug/16th Sept/21st Oct/18th Nov/16th Dec http://www.theartisansfair.com.au Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
