With the help of award-winning family festival entertainer Dan the Hat we’ve curated six totally brilliant shows each day with giant trapeze acts, daredevil antics and a delightful mix of high energy, cartoon-esque physical comedy and circus stunts.

Dogs want to be part of everything, whether it’s whizzing along flyball jumps, weaving through the agility arenas or tackling one of the five scurries sniffing out treats or toys.

Dogstival has built its own Barkour adventure playground for dogs of all shapes and sizes. There’s also puppy agility for little ones and giant dog pools to launch from or just take a leisurely paddle to cool off.

Everything is free to take part in except the K9 Dog Diving Pool.

We are beyond excited to unveil the Naturo Healthy Hound Kitchen at Dogstival. Every dog loves food so we’ve created a place packed full of foodie entertainment dedicated to our four-legged ‘always hungry’ friends!

Or, get your paws involved in the Mystery Box ‘Bark Off’ competitions all using Naturo’s 100% natural ingredients.

Plus a Tea Pawty for all birthday dogs with cake, treats and a celebratory photo!

At Dogstival we like being kind to the planet. In 2024 we managed to reduce our carbon footprint by a whopping 74% by powering some of our stages with solar and using bio-fuel to power the rest.

We also managed to recycle 67% of all our waste. It goes without saying single use plastics are banned….although we’ve not found a use for all those dog poo’s!
