Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is there a children's area at Alchemy?

Q: Are dog's allowed at Alchemy?
A: Dogs are allowed at Alchemy so long as they are kept on a lead at all times, are good with kids and other dogs, are always cleaned up after and are kept out of the kids area. This rule is mostly to cater for people who live in vans and have nowhere else to leave their dog. If possible please leave your dog elsewhere. Last year some of these rules were broken - we will be much stricter this year and anyone not following the above rules may be asked to leave. We will be reviewing weather dogs are allowed at Alchemy again before next year.
