The Sleepy Barn

The Sleepy Barn is a rustic farm venue on 6 acres at 569 Pottsville Road, Sleepy Hollow in the Tweed Shire. The drawcard for dog owners is straightforward: you can bring your dog to laze with you in the open-air paddocks while you enjoy live music, food trucks and a licensed cafe over the weekend.

Dog access. Dogs are welcome on-leash in the outdoor acreage and paddock areas only. They cannot enter the cafe building. Dogs must be kept on a leash at all times and be sociable, and you are required to clean up after your pet. Do not leave waste in the paddocks. There are no stated entry fees for dogs.

Known for. Regular live music on Saturday afternoons (roughly 3pm to 6pm) and Sundays, plus community events such as movies under the stars and long table dinners. Beanbags are set out in the paddocks for relaxed listening. Hours are generally Friday to Sunday from 8am, with licensing from 10am.

Nearby with the dogs. Pottsville Dog Beach is a short drive away for an off-leash run, and Pottsville Beach Motel offers dog-friendly accommodation in the area.

When to go. Saturday or Sunday afternoon lines up best with the live music program. On-site parking is available and the venue is best accessed by car.
