Show Hall
Our superb purpose built and self-contained show/ training hall set in idyllic surroundings, gives the perfect environment to benefit fully from all the facilities available, all year round. The facilities include toilets and dining room with its own catering facilities available. The hall itself is 30m (100ft) long by 15m (50ft) wide with a maximum height of 2m (6ft 6in) at full width. It is heated in the winter and to help prevent injury to both owner and dog we have a specialist covering on the floor. The hall is spacious enough to allow for Flyball sessions and show competitions where great numbers of people attend.
We also have ample parking.
Tomlinsons is wheelchair friendly with toilet facilities.
