Mini Country Music Festival – Q&A

When is the event?

The Birmingham Dogs Home Mini Country Music Festival takes place on Saturday 22nd August, from 5:00pm to 11:00pm.

Where is the event being held?

The event will be held on site at Birmingham Dogs Home. Full arrival and parking details will be shared with ticket holders closer to the event.

What can I expect on the night?

A relaxed, fun-filled country festival evening featuring:

• 5 live country music acts (line-up to be revealed soon)

• Live line dancing – feel free to join in!

• Country games, including a bucking bronco

• Shopping stalls

• Food vendors and refreshments

• A great atmosphere and country vibes all evening

Is this a family event?

This is primarily an evening festival-style event. While it’s welcoming and relaxed, it’s designed as a chance for adults to let their hair down and enjoy the music and atmosphere.

Can I bring my dog?

No – this is a no dogs event.
We love dogs (obviously!), but for safety, welfare and licensing reasons, dogs won’t be able to attend. This means you can relax, dance and enjoy the evening worry-free.

Do I need to dress up?

Cowboy hats, boots and western outfits are very much encouraged, but absolutely not required. Come as you are and enjoy the night!

Will there be food and drink available?

Yes! There will be a selection of food vendors, refreshments and an alcohol bar available throughout the evening.

What time should I arrive?

Gates open at 5:00pm. We recommend arriving early to soak up the atmosphere, grab some food and enjoy the first performances.

Who is hosting the event?

The event is being hosted with support from Harry Colley, radio DJ from Country Roads Radio on Cheshire Mix 56, who is helping curate the music and running order for the evening.

Are tickets available on the door?

Tickets are limited and we strongly recommend booking in advance.
Early Bird tickets are available until the end of April, subject to availability.

Where does the money raised go?

Every ticket sold helps support Birmingham Dogs Home, directly contributing to the care, rehabilitation and rehoming of homeless dogs across the region.

Will more information be sent before the event?

Yes, all ticket holders will receive a final event information email closer to the date, including parking details, timings and everything you need to know.

Is parking available?

Yes, free parking will be available for all attendees in a field opposite Birmingham Dogs Home.

How do I park on arrival?

Please follow the directions of our volunteer parking team on arrival, who will guide you safely to a space and help keep traffic moving smoothly.

Is parking on hardstanding or grass?

Parking will be on a grass field. While every effort will be made to manage this safely, parking is at your own risk.

If the ground is wet, we kindly ask drivers to take extra care. Electric vehicles (EVs) in particular should be cautious, as they are heavier and more prone to getting stuck in soft ground.

Is disabled parking available?

Yes, limited disabled parking spaces are available on site.
