With a sigh of satisfaction and a goofy grin of gratitude, it’s time to say farewell to DogFest’s spring season. The best day out a slobbery mutt could wish for! Now, let’s get comfy and pore over some pics!
Tatton Park we love you!
The weather was full of the joys of spring! Take a peek at the beautiful photos courtesy of Shirlaine Forrest in our Tatton Festival hub.
“A brilliant day out for humans and fur babies alike. Great stalls, lovely friendly atmosphere, and value for money. Can’t wait for next year!” – Tatton Park, 2024  
The Fun Dog Show, crowd pleaser of note!
It’s so good to have a Dog Show that has FUN at its center. We believe judging should be lighthearted because, let’s face it, all our furry friends are winners in our eyes.

“DogFest is a great way to reap the benefits of nature and being in the great outdoors! With the lovely grounds of Tatton Park, it was an all-round great day out with my mum and little dog Muffin!” – Tatton Park, 2024
Burghley you were Beautiful!
It was the first time DogFest was hosted at Burghley House, and how spectacular it was! Take a look at the many gorgeous photos courtesy of @adrianstoica.dogcoach in the Burghley festival hub on our homepage.
Did you Meet the Celebs?
Our Action Arena buzzed as guests crowded to catch the celebrity performances. Adrian Stoica and his pack of highly trained dogs dazzled the crowd with a disc-throwing and catching performance. Lucy Heath and her canine partner, Strike, danced their winning routine. And Chloë Fuller presented her “Super Spaniel Show,” where her spaniels Ted and Cinna demonstrated the incredible ways dogs can assist humans.
Were you one of the many guests who chose to meet them all at our celebrity meet-up?

Much loved – Breed Meet-Up
It’s still the best place for paw-rents to swap advice and stories about their beloved breed.
“Went to DogFest with Mabel, my beautiful Labrador. We had the best day which was made very special meeting so many wonderful breeds of dogs and their humans.” – Burghley House, 2024  
DogFest Ragley!
“DogFest made our dog, Thea, so happy! Plenty of opportunities to meet other dogs and have new experiences. It is set in such a beautiful location, well-spaced out and just a joy to be part of. We’ll be back next year!” – Ragley Hall, 2024
Big Dog Walk remains a Champion
The Big Dog Walk caters to all canines, from an energetic short trot to a leisurely doggie dawdle – both walks are equally popular! The path winds past ancient trees, offering glimpses of local wildlife. Which is why it’s a must for all dogs to stay on their leads throughout.
Dog Diving!
The dog diving was a great hit once again! Dogs of all shapes and sizes took the plunge and got drenched, as did their pawrents in their shake-off spray!
“The diving pool for dogs was a highlight! And being together with so many dog lovers and surrounded by dogs and puppies, simply amazing for my mental health. The number of bins everywhere and water for the dogs on a very warm day was amazing to see and refreshing! Positive vibes all around.” – Ragley Hall,2024
DogFest Spring began at Loseley!
“We took our rescue Sully; the atmosphere and open space enabled him to fully relax. It was so good to see other dog owners all behaving responsibly and having respect for each other whilst browsing and interacting together. It was a truly enjoyable experience. Thank you.” – Loseley Park.
Expert Advice
For pups needing a little extra guidance, The Behaviour Zone was the place to be! Adem Fehmi, the Dogtor himself, alongside Kerry Maule, offered their expertise in dog training and behavior. Their tips and techniques work wonders on unruly canines. People left DogFest as better paw-rents.
“We had a wonderful day at DogFest. We could have stayed a lot longer with so many activities to join in, noses and bottoms to sniff, and treat taste testing to be done! We went home very tired but very happy and dreamt of DogFest 2025 on the car journey home.” – Loseley Park, 2024  
Goodbye to DogFest spring shows!
After all this spring fun, we’re all happily tuckered out! But fear not, dog lovers, autumn brings the joyous return of DogFest. Pure canine delirium awaits! We’re looking forward to seeing you and your furry friends at our autumn shows, where once again, the dogs will take the lead!
