No problem Martin.Hope you can still make it.👍

Hi Ripple, Not sure where you saw that dogs were not allowed? Dogs are allowed on site with a special dog pass which cost £3.55, which can be purchased from here https://www.smokeandfirefestival.com/tickets/ Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times. Please be aware that only Guide Dogs or those with a Dog Pass may bring their dog. This is to limit the total number of dogs on site. Please note that all Dog Ticket Revenue is donated to a Animal Charity. Hope this answers your question and you will now be able to enjoy the festival Ripple. Best regards Smoke and Fire

We had planned to hold four festivals across the Uk this year but these are still truly challenging times and we had take the decision to postpone three and concentrate on our festival in Colchester Essex. Which I'm please to say is looking good, and this year will be hosting the UK Open BBQ Championships with over 25 teams entries which include professional and Backyard BBQ enthusiasts so we might see some of you there. Anyway just wanted to say 'Hi' Best regards Smoke and Fire www.smokeandfirefestival.com
