About The Big Barn - The Sand Pit Secure Dog Field, Hailsham

The Sand Pit is a private dog walking field in Hailsham offering fully enclosed, off-lead hire on a sand-based surface.

Facilities also include CCTV, a toilet and a hot drinks machine, a welcome touch on colder mornings. Located in the East Sussex countryside, The Sand Pit offers a practical, private option for dog owners across the south-east. Its sand-based surface and enrichment set-up make it a good choice for recall training, confidence-building or simply letting your dog enjoy some off-lead freedom in a secure, distraction-free space.
