Below are some frequently asked questions about Nuzzles and pup play. If you have a question that hasn’t been covered already, please contact an admin or email us [email protected].
Nuzzles & Pup Play
Is there a minimum age for Nuzzles?
Yes – to join Nuzzles telegram, come to an event or interact with Nuzzles in anyway, you must be 18 years old or over.
Although we are a safe for work (SFW) group and event, unfortunately for safeguarding and licencing reasons, it is not a place for minors.
What is Nuzzles?
Nuzzles is a new exciting pup play social for human pups run by Nuzzles Events LTD. Our events are based around Southampton with some other outings across the UK.
All our events are listed on our Events Page
How can I get involved?
Join our Telegram chat t.me/nuzzlesuk and chat to other pups. Come along to our events. Have Fun!
Please note: Nuzzles is SFW & you must be 18 or over.
What is pup play / human pups?
Pup play is a type of roleplay similar to larping or war reenactment. Rather than roleplay as a character you roleplay as a puppy.
It is a great form of escapism to help relieve stress. Its also brilliant exercise.
Events
My 18th birthday is the day of Nuzzles event, can I come?
If this is the case, please send us an email [email protected] before purchasing your ticket for the event. We can then check your ID to make sure there will be no issues on the day.
If your birthday is the day after the event, unfortunately we will not be able to let you attend.
You will not be able to join the Telegram chats or follow us on socials until your 18th birthday, so we would try to keep you updated via email or directly via Telegram about any event updates for your purchased ticket.
Can I get a refund?
Unfortunately tickets are non refundable or transferable.
What events do Nuzzles run?
Nuzzles plan to run a safe for work (SFW) event once a month in Southampton, Hampshire, UK. Some events may be changed for different events like Nuzzfest.
On top of our regular once a month events we are looking to get groups of pups to different prides across the country. Also plan trips to theme parks and other fun days out.
When is Nuzzles next event and where?
All events will be listed on the Events Page. The information about costs, location, date and time etc will all be on the individual event page.
Whats the dress code?
Nuzzles is a safe for work event (SFW), therefore a minimum of beach wear is required with no insertable’s (unless they are covered with appropriate outerwear).
There is no minimum requirement for gear, if you are starting out and just want to come to feel the vibe, please come along. There might even be a few pup hoods about you can try 🙂
Normal clothing, Neoprene, Lycra, Latex, Leather, PVC, MX/Bike Gear. Come in what ever as long as its not highlighting genitals etc.
Diapers/Nappies are allowed, however cannot be on show and you must take soiled items with you and dispose of them elsewhere responsibly.

Nuzzfest
The Basics
What is NuzzFest?
NuzzFest is a full weekend of Nuzzles!
Imagine everything you’ve come to expect at a Nuzzles social event spread out over a long weekend of fun. For full details of what is on offer at this year’s camp, check out the event listing.
Will NuzzFest be at an accessible venue?
For 2025, our venue will be at a location that is mostly flat ground, though it there are some uneven areas of the site. If you have any concerns, please contact us through one of the means below.
We will try our best to find a venue that is accessible for those with mobility needs. However, NuzzFest will be a camping event and the majority of camp sites/fields we will have access to for these types of events is limited. Please check back here for an update or contact a founder admin on Telegram or email [email protected] and we will provide images or further information to try and aid you with coming to NuzzFest.
My 18th birthday is on the weekend of Nuzzfest, can I still come?
NuzzFest is a full weekend event. It will be at least Friday through to the Sunday. If your birthday falls on the Saturday then you would not be allowed on the site until Saturday morning at the earliest. You would be able to attend from the day of your birthday and not before, however the full price of NuzzFest would need to be paid (even if you cannot attend the first part).
If this is the case, please send us an email to [email protected] before purchasing your ticket for the event. We can then check your ID to make sure there will be no issues on the day & if you’re going to be ordering food we can see about removing the cost of the food you will not be there for.
You will not be able to join the Telegram chats or follow us on socials until your 18th birthday, so we would try to keep you updated via email or directly via Telegram about any event updates for your purchased ticket.
What is the dress code?
As NuzzFest is primarily a SFW event, the dress code would follow a normal Nuzzles event while you are outside of your tent or other designated areas.
What do I need to bring with me?
NuzzFest is a camping weekend – so expect to bring what you’d need for any other camping trip. And your gear!
More here about services on site etc.
How do I get there?
For 2025, the venue is just outside the nearby town of Romsey. This is the closest train station if you are coming by rail, and there is a local taxi company that can take you from there to the farm.
We will be running some scheduled pickups from the train station also, however details of these will be finalised nearer the time.
Car parking is freely available on the site for those coming by car.
Camping and Facilities
Can I bring a motorhome or caravan?
For 2025, motorhomes are permitted on site but unfortunately caravans are not.
Please let us know when purchasing your ticket if you are planning on bringing a motorhome so we know how many to expect.
There are a limited number of electric hook-up pitches available too – this is a ticket add-on. Portable generators are not permitted to be used on site.
Is drinking water available on site?
Yes, drinking water is available from a communal tap by the toilet and shower block.
Can I park next to my tent?
As the camping is in a woodland area, parking next to tents is unfortunately not possible. There is a dedicated car park next to the camping areas.
Motorhomes will be arranged directly next to the woodland camping area so you won’t be far from the action!
Are there toilets and showers available?
Yes – there are real functioning toilets and a shower available for use on the site. Just bring your shampoo 🙂
Can I wash my cooking and eating utensils?
There is a dedicated area for washing up outside the toilet and shower block.
Is there electricity on site?
There is! We have a limited number of electric hook-up pitches available that can be reserved by purchasing a ticket add-on from the web shop.
Otherwise, there will be an area to charge your devices freely available in the main marquees during the day while the generator is running (approx. 0700-0100).
Can I use my own generator?
No – fuel (petrol or diesel) driven generators are not permitted on site both on the grounds of safety and noise disturbance to others around you.
Battery banks are of course welcome!
What’s the mobile signal like? Is there WiFi?
Mobile signal is average to relatively decent – but this may vary.
There will be free WiFi available to use too.
Catering and Self Catering
What is included in the fully catered ticket option?
The full menu options can be found on the ticket selection – check them out to see what is on offer!
Can I buy food on the day?
Unfortunately not – the meals will be set and quantities finalised before the actual event so we can get you all fed in good time at each meal.
There will be some snacks available to buy during the day, but we wouldn’t rely on these as your only meal.
Can I use cooking equipment next to my tent?
Yes, so long as anything hot is at least 30cm off of the ground to avoid burning it, and you have suitable means of extinguishing any fire.
We’d advise having at least two litres of water to hand just in case at a minimum.
Do not put anything hot directly on the venue’s benches, tables or seating that could burn, mark or otherwise damage them.
Can I use disposable BBQs?
