Firework Free, Dog Friendly Sites

Does it have to be a club site or would an "out of the way" CL do, PS?

You could always check out any potential sites that you short list on Google Earth just to check what habitation there is in the vicinity as that will probably be the source of any noise?

We have booked Beechcroft Farm near Buxton to avoid the fireworks where we live. They can't guarantee absolute quiet but got to be better than here.

It's an impossible question to answer. Even if I could recommend an out of the way site, say a remote CL, there is always the chance that the occupiers of the property will have some or one of the other members staying on site will have some to "entertain" their offspring/gkids, or someone a mile away across open land will be having a party with them.

You can't expect wardens or CL owners to know who in their locality is likely to be a party pooper. 

We just took our dog who hated the fireworks for a very long drive in the car, once travelling from near Chester to Angelsey and back, arriving home at 2 o'clock in the morning. Great. Except a local drunkard starting letting off bangers half an hour later.

Dogs have amazing hearing so you'll have a hard job finding a solution but I really do wish you well. Ours died on 5th.November from a heart attack induced by fireworks so I absolutely hate that time of year more than any other.

Coniston Park Coppice and Troutbeck Head should be safe bets. 

TH does have an activity centre next door that sometimes has events on in the evening, probably not fireworks but best to check.

Fully agree about Coniston.

Some idiots are setting off fireworks already, it made the dog bolt and knock over the Christmas tree! 

Hello All!

Many thanks indeed for your replies, comments and recommendations.  Am following up on those but just looking for any site really - priority is the dogs - so Club, CL or other... 

Fully understand there are no guarantees, just want to do my best as last year was an absolute nightmare; especially for my oldest dog who experiences uncontrollable tremors and simply wants to find the smallest, darkest space in which she can hide.

Dave - Thanks, and just for info in case others are looking too, I had a reply from Troutbeck Head who say they do suffer from a nearby property so I will ring Coniston tomorrow.

Cornersteady -  - when do you start buying Easter eggs!

Will update this discussion to let you and others know how I get on.

Best wishes,

PS

PS - you could try one of our favourite CLs, Drake House Farm, high in the hills above Clitheroe. Not the cheapest of CLs but everything's included, serviced HS pitch, shower/toilet, free WiFi and dogs included. There is (or was)  a commercial site and a large hotel which you'd pass before you get there but I doubt they'd be having fireworks. Good walking area direct from site too.

Hope that helps.

Glad the suggestion to ring TH paid off. Hope you find somewhere.

As to Easter eggs not yet but the falling Christmas tree did land on my wife's freshly baked hot cross buns
