New dog friendly days out! I can’t wait to visit 😍

Good evening everyone we have some extremely EXCITING and slightly daunting news 😅

WE ARE RE OPENING FORT PAULL 🏰😎

Gulp!

Date tbc (There’s a lot of work to do) - We will be re opening this wonderful site again for the public to enjoy! ❤️

We will be starting from scratch and hoping to save the fort and re build the museum for generations to come.

To do this we will be opening the Fort one day a week (this will hopefully change when busier) for a small fee so that the public can have a wander around the Fort, bring a picnic and see our starting point on this journey (dogs allowed 🐶)

To also help us on this journey we will be looking to run numerous events throughout the year 😎

We have already lined up the ghost tours to re start, classic American car shows, some fitness based events 💪 and hopefully a fright night event for Halloween 👻 If possible a Christmas market 🎄🎅

What we would really love to host this year is the first of hopefully very many ‘Fort Fest’s” 🤘what an incredible venue for a music festival 😎

We would really love to know what sort of events the public would like to see at the fort?
Would anyone like to run their own event here?

We are also looking for the following vendors, if you would like to be involved in our events please get in touch 🍔🍻

Food
Drink
Crafts
Xmas Stall Holders

If anyone fancies lending a hand, there’s plenty to get stuck into 😅

Please bear in mind that we are starting from scratch and this is a huge undertaking! There will be teething problems but.. we will be trying our best to make this a wonderful museum to visit, a cracking events venue and the best of all, the longevity of this incredible Fortification ✌️

Thanks for reading
The Two Nicks 😎

(GONE but the odd 30 mins left later on)). Last minute gap in Ings at 11 today if anybody wants a visit? And it’s dried up! Hurrah!!

In other news we are about to pt another field into planning in a drier area to help spread the load if we get another winter like the last one. More news soon hopefully.

Rubbish photo of non existent northern lights, even though we were staying in a remote cabin in Cheshire. Did anyone actually see them??

05/05/2024

Gone! Last minute resceduling at 4pm today in the Carr field if anybody fancies a quick walk in the sun ☀️ First come first served - I will edit this post once it’s booked.

There are still some muddy patches but the majority of the field is fine. Wellies still recommended though!

A week on Saturday!

https://mailchi.mp/0569fb0bd7aa/new-dangerous-dogs-booking-rules

We are glad to still be able to let our fields to dogs which are listed under the dangerous dogs rules (XL Bullies etc), however there are some things which our insurers have asked for.

Beautiful couple of hours today planting some trees in the Manor field. Hoping area will be a sanctuary on the top of the hill during hot summer days ☀️

You’ll also see some on other fields. Hoping for a kind spring so they have chance to grow quickly.

There has also been a Western Red Cedar hedge planted alongside the road to give privacy & shelter from the road.

Dog show & agility!

Please share, thank you xx

XL Bullies
Our insurers do not have any specific rules for the fields use by XL Bullies so we are pleased to say that our fields can still be used by XL Bullies, as long as the government rules are stuck to (link at the bottom).

The fields are private land and the use of the fields are for the users exclusive use, however the car park is a public area so muzzles and leads need using in the car park. We would advise using the infield parking - the parking inside the locked area.

The field rules are there to keep everybody safe and as usual need adhering to. As previously, remember to report anybody not sticking to the rules please - from not having dogs on the lead in the car park to overstaying, as this means we can ensure rules are kept to.

We opened these fields in the first place (I think we were the first in East Yorkshire?) to give dogs a chance to run free who wouldn’t otherwise get a chance to, and we don’t want to exclude XL Bully dogs when it could be the only freedom they get outside their homes.

I will be adding a point to the FAQ's section in the New Year with XL Bully guidance. If anybody has any questions please ask me - Tamara on [email protected]

Happy New Year
