A scheduled moment where dogs step into the spotlight. These daily parades are designed to feel celebratory rather than formal, giving dogs their chance to be seen, admired and thoroughly enjoyed – exactly as they should be.

A playful dog show made up of light-hearted judging sessions, where personality matters more than perfection. Each session celebrates a different royal-inspired title – from Little Lord or Lady to Noble Rescue – all leading up to crowning Best in Palace.

An opportunity to spend time with other owners and dogs of the same breed. A relaxed, sociable moment to say hello, compare notes and enjoy being part of a shared gathering – dogs included.

Part garden gathering, part live stage, it’s where expert conversations, interactive games, heart-warming stories and daily quizzes unfold – all designed to be enjoyed throughout the day.

A fast, focused sprint for dogs who love to chase. One at a time, dogs line up in a single lane and follow the moving lure along the course, racing to the finish at their own speed. Runs are timed and recorded on a live leaderboard, adding a friendly competitive edge!

A welcoming hay bale hurdle course where dogs of all sizes and confidence levels can have a go, taking each hurdle at their own pace!

A hands-on activity for dogs and owners to take on together. Guide your dog through a short series of obstacles at your own pace and enjoy a satisfying challenge that’s as much about teamwork as it is about fun.

A shared walk through the striking grounds of Blenheim Palace, offering the chance to enjoy the setting together with dogs very much leading the way. One of the standout moments of the day, and a rare opportunity to experience the Palace grounds with your dog at your side.

A popular play space designed for dogs who like to get involved! Packed with balls and built for movement, it’s a chance for dogs to let loose, enjoy themselves and let off some steam before heading back into the day.
