25-26th September- Dogfest North- Tatton Park- Cheshire

What Activities Are Taking Place?

These fun filled weekends will be playing host to a number of activities that you and your dog will love. Including dog shows, dramatic displays and have a go activities. Not to mention a vast array of delicious food, drink and great music.

Exciting Events

The Main Arena of the festival will be showcasing back-to-back entertainment. This includes jaw dropping displays from the UK’s most skilled dog display teams. Prepare to have your mind blown by these talented animals. Stunts include leaping through rings of fire, hurtling down ziplines and much more.

There are also many opportunities for you and your own pooch to get involved in activities. Climb over hay bales, crawl under scramble nets, zig zag around poles and dart through tunnels on the ultimate Dogstacle course. Alternatively, test your dog in a game of hide and seek, ultimate frisbee, hale bale jumping and the Dogfest Agility Course. 

Chilling Out

If it’s more of a chill time you fancy, why not roll out a blanket and settle down to an afternoon of pawsome festival tunes. All accompanied by artisan food and drink stalls including a gin-tastic and prosecco bar. 

To top off your dog’s best day out ever you can even enter them into the Fun Dog Show and see them compete for titles such as Best in Show, Most Fabulous or Best Rescue to name but a few.  Pull up a hay bale and enjoy!

As if all of that wasn’t enough, delight your dog further by taking part in the Big Dog Walk, sponsored by Bought By Many, pick between a  2K or 4K route around the various park’s stunning grounds and discover fun games and surprises along the way.

Expert Advice

There is also the chance to get cutting edge, expert advice as Dogfest prides itself on offering the latest tips and insights from guest experts. Topics include but are not limited to animal health and welfare, dietary advice, behavioural psychology and new ownership during the pandemic.
