Guide dogs are admitted to the Grounds and Show Courts, but dogs must remain with their owner at all times. Note that there are no toileting areas anywhere in the Grounds.

Eating and Drinking

There are a plethora of food and drink options throughout the Grounds. There have been been reports that it is difficult for wheelchair users to purchase food and drink unaided. As such, it may be worth taking a packed lunch if this is likely to make things difficult.
