DogFest at Harewood House to be 'bigger and better' for 10th anniversary

DogFest is back at Harewood House next month.

Dog lovers and their four-legged friends are set to descend on Harewood House for the return of DogFest next month.

The event is back at Harewood House on 7th and 8th September - and this year will be celebrating its 10th anniversary.

Organisers have promised DogFest will be "bigger and better than ever," with various activities, competitions, and entertainment for the whole family.  

The UK's ultimate dog-friendly festival will feature thrilling dog displays, expert advice, shopping opportunities and delicious food.

Event highlights: 

  • Dog activities and competitions: Join in the fun with agility and ‘dogstacle’ courses, dog diving, giant ball pits, breed meet-ups, dog dancing and the popular Fun Dog Show, where dogs of all shapes and sizes can strut their stuff and win amazing prizes. 
  • Expert advice and workshops: Learn from the best with talks and demonstrations from leading dog trainers, behaviourists, and nutritionists. Discover new training techniques, health tips, and grooming secrets to keep your dog happy and healthy. 
  • Shopping village: Explore a wide range of stalls offering everything from premium pet food and accessories to unique dog-themed gifts and artwork. Treat your dog to something special or find the perfect present for a fellow dog lover. 
  • Food and drink: Enjoy a variety of delicious food and drink options, including gourmet street food, refreshing beverages, and tasty treats for your furry friends.
  • Kids' Zone: Keep the little ones entertained with a dedicated kids’ area featuring fun activities, face painting, and games. 

CEO and Founder of DogFest, Nicole Cooper, said:

“We are so excited about our 10th anniversary year!

"Since our first event, more than 50,000 very soggy doggies have enjoyed splashing around in our Dog Diving activities, there have been over 1,000 winners in our Fun Dog Shows and over 650 miles have been covered in our Big Dog Walks – which is further than walking from John O’Groats to Land’s End!”

What began in 2014 as a small gathering for dog-lovers is now a much-loved canine extravaganza, with events taking place at seven venues across the country.

Over the past ten years, more than one million dogs and visitors have attended DogFest across 29 different venues.

Tickets are on sale now. To book and for further information: www.dogfest.co.uk/yorkshire
