A dog-friendly festival is returning to Knebworth House this September to celebrate its 10th anniversary.
DogFest, on September 21 and 22, promises to be bigger and better than ever, with an impressive line-up of activities, competitions and entertainment for the whole family to enjoy.
What began in 2014 as a small gathering for dog lovers has grown into an established annual event. Over the past 10 years, more than one million dogs and visitors have attended DogFest across 29 different venues.
Nicole Cooper, founder of DogFest, 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!"
Join in the fun with agility courses, dog diving, flyball, and the popular dog show, where dogs of all shapes and sizes can strut their stuff and win prizes.
You can also get expert advice and take part in workshops, 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.
In the shopping village, you can explore a wide range of stalls offering everything from premium pet food and accessories to unique dog-themed gifts and artwork.
You can also enjoy a variety of delicious food and drink options, including gourmet street food, refreshing beverages, and tasty treats for your furry friends.
Keep the little ones entertained in the dedicated kids’ area, featuring fun activities, face painting and games.
Tickets are £21 for adults, £14 for children aged five to 16, and £16 for people aged over 65. To book, and for more information, visit dogfest.co.uk.
