After Dark Disclaimer

All fields (except The Meadow) are equipped with low-level electric and solar lighting to enable them to stay open for longer, during restricted daylight hours

Members who have had an induction and would like to have the option of visiting earlier or later in the day during Autumn or Winter must complete the form at the bottom of this page. Their record at Bromsgrove Field Hire will then be accredited with a ‘stamp’ that permits the booking of non-daylight timeslots.

Due to additional health and safety considerations, Members must confirm that:

  • All visiting dogs will wear a flashing or lit-up collar
  • They will bring a torch (or preferably a torch lantern) so that dog waste can be seen (and picked up)
  • They accept that there may be additional hazards at night including an increase in wildlife, less visible uneven ground or more ‘missed’ pooh

Noise & Use of Flashlights

  1. Due to the proximity of other residences, Members with particularly yappy or hard to control dogs should not book slots starting before 8am or after 7pm
  2. The use of torches and flashlights should be restricted as much as possible so not to alert, panic or disturb other residents or neighbours i.e. they should only be used to locate dog waste or items on the ground and not waived about at head height.
  3. Noise (shouting, barking etc) should be restricted as much as possible

Please remember that:

Members are responsible for their dog(s) at all times and they are liable for any damages caused by their pet whilst using the facilities including (but not limited to) breakages to the fences / agility equipment or digging holes

Saturday 27th December - Tuesday 30th December: Due to visiting family for Christmas, a reduced field service will be in operation whilst a house sitter is present.

Three of the four fields will remain open (as phone / email assistance will still be available although there may be a short delay), but there are some important notices.

  • Field lights may be left on during the day (so don't worry if you experience this)
  • Water butts won't be topped up during this time (so bring your own doggie drinks)
  • The fields will be unmanned / there will be no on-site assistance (so double check your time and field choice before coming and be understanding if any issues arise)

The BFH mobile phone will be switched on and answerable for 95% of the time. It is the best contact option if there is an emergency

We apologise for any inconvenience and wish Members a very Happy Christmas !

Thank you
