What's on

Packed full of shows and displays including the all-action Little Nippers & Terriers Racing where dogs can join the canine chaos chasing the lure.

We’ll have flyball competitions, plus our ‘Heads & Tails’ lunchtime quiz with prizes up for grabs.

New for 2025 is the Dogstival Derby! Get ready for dachshunds, terriers and even pugs tearing around arena, over hurdles to be crowned champion!

Home to the ever popular Fun Dog Show with nine categories from the fun and silly to stories that will melt your heart.

Joining the entertainment will be our team of trainers and behaviourists with tips to get your puppy on the right track, how to fix typical behaviour problems and the needs of different breeds.

Get ready to laugh out loud, hold your breath at death defying stunts, witness jaw-dropping acrobatics, tap along musical shows plus heaps of workshops to get involved with.

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.

The Tavern is set for major shake up next summer as we take the ultimate dog friendly watering hole to a new level.

There’ll still be favourite like Barking Bingo and the Big Dog Pub Quiz hosted by Mark Collins and it’s the place to gather for our fab Breed Meets.

So stay tuned for more news…

Get into the festival vibe with some paw tapping live music across the weekend. We’ll have soul, blues, Motown, folk, country and pop classics.

Does your pooch love to show off and strut their stuff?

The Dogstival Fun Dog Show is back and it’s time to strut your stuff. Whether you are big one, a dribbly one, a hairy one or a very naughty one we love you all at Dogstival. The fun dog show isn’t about best in breed but just for giggles. We have 9 classes and rosette for every entry!

Back by popular demand join other owners and their pups for our Breed Meets at The Muddy Paws Tavern. It’s a brilliant chance to meet, socialize and relax. Whilst we can’t cover every breed this year we have tried to group together some breeds so more can join the fun! Don’t forget to share your photos with us!

We’re all paws go for dogs who just love the water. With giant dog diving pools and splash pools, perfect for a cool down or taking a little paddle.

Our Face of Dogstival competition is now closed. Thanks so much to all the amazing dogs who entered. Delighted to announce this year’s winner is Rosie!! She is definately living her best life Doggy Style!

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!
