Can we bring dogs and children to the fair?
Children under control are welcome on the Salvo Fair site. Dogs on leads are welcome on the fair site. We ask that EVERYONE TAKES SPECIAL CARE to avoid injury. Some Salvo Fair exhibits are big, heavy and sharp. Our advice is to leave children and dogs at home, or elswhere on the Knebworth site, but we are not nannies and do not wish to prevent responsible adults from bringing children and dogs on to the site. JUST TAKE EXTRA CARE!
The fair is open to the architectural salvage trade on the morning of Friday 30th June, and to construction professionals on the afternoon of Friday 30th June. These are ticket only events so please do not turn up without a ticket. Only the Salvo Fair will be open at Knebworth on this Friday, none of Knebworth's other facilities will be open.
