DogFest is back and is an absolute must for dog lovers and pet owners alike – expect a fun filled day to treat yourself and your most precious four-legged friend. Taking place in the stunning Harewood House, in Yorkshire on the 24th and 25th September, a day you and your dog will never forget awaits.
DogFest, in partnership with ManyPets Pet Insurance is the ultimate dog-friendly festival created for dogs and dog lovers and jam packed with activities to guarantee a memorable day out and a snoozing pup all the way home.
This mammoth festival sees over 100 shopping stands and over 10 fun-filled activities from flyball to dog diving, as well as food and drinks stalls serving everything from mouth-watering gourmet burgers to hand-baked cupcakes (especially for dogs!) take over the park.
Attendees will be invited to try their paws at non-stop have-a-go activities including an agility course, haybale racing sponsored by Wisdom Panel or take part in a 2k or 4k Big Dog Walk through the stunning country grounds to raise vital funds for Dogs Trust; or grab a rosette at the ManyPets Fun Dog Show, with categories including Best Rescue or Most Fabulous Fella.
Festival goers will also be able to catch DogFest fan and television presenter Matt Baker’s Q&A where he shares his adventures and snippets of his life with the like-minded community at DogFest.
Matt Baker said: “Dogs have always played a huge role in my life, so I can’t wait to spend time at a festival created just for them and like-minded people. DogFest is a great day out!”
Once festival goers and their dogs have had a go at the activities, they can pamper their pooches with some retail therapy from venders like Hey Bert – tailored clothing from shirts, tshirts, toys, bandanas and more, to Dog Bowl Deli, dog treats with a deli style twist – or Pawesome Paws Boutique for some truly stylish doggy accessories fit for the ‘gram.
