Dogs Welcome:Point-to-points provide an ideal opportunity to spend a day in the countryside with your dog, although please remember that dogs must always be on a lead, should not be left in cars unattended (particularly in warmer weather), and to clean up after them. For point-to-points held at permanent racecourses, you should check in advance whether dogs are allowed to enter.

Shopping:Most courses also have trade stands selling a variety of artisan foods, country clothing and gifts.
Entertainment:Entertainment for children is often provided in the shape of bouncy castles and fairground rides.
