There promises to be something for everyone with children’s entertainment, fairground rides, live music, a bustling marketplace with artisan food, drinks and crafts. Dozens of stalls selling everything you need for your pet in the way of grooming, nutrition, bedding, travel safety and more.

Experts in canine care will be on hand to share their knowledge and give practical advice to owners on canine care.

Make your day as leisurely as you want, or as fun packed as you like. There will certainly be plenty to keep everyne occupied. Get your pooch burning off some energy on the agility course, or strutting their stuff at a fun dog show; or settle down to watch some great doggy displays and demonstrations.

Your dog can have heaps of fun in the doggy playground, with its ball pit and splash zone. And if they really love the water there’s Dock Diving by K9 Aqua Sports where water-loving pooches can have the time of their lives - safely under the supervision of the trained attendants.

There will also be plenty of activities designed to stimulate your dog’s mind and body such as a Scentwork Arena, a Barn Hunt, and even Dog Parkour. Also check out the Big Dog Walk and Breed meet ups where you and your dog can really enjoy the wide-open spaces of these lovely venues.
