October 3rd & 4th – Blenheim Palace

Polish the lead. This one’s special.

DogFest at the Palace is an unforgettable celebration of dogs, set against the breathtaking backdrop of Blenheim Palace. Expect show-stopping moments, shared adventures and tail-wagging fun, all in a setting fit for dogs of distinction.

With regal-themed dog shows, scenic walks, interactive activities and indulgent food and shopping, it’s a truly special day where dogs take centre stage.

The Palace Parade

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.

Agria Fun Dog Show

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.

Breed Meet Ups

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.

The Palace Lawn

in partnership with Agria

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.

DogFest Dash

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!

Haybale Hurdles

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!

Dogstacle Course

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.

Agria Big Dog Walk

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.

Giant Ball Pit

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.

DogFest Plus

Enhance your day at DogFest with a DogFest Plus ticket and get access to the exclusive Plus Paddock with a dedicated bar and toilets. Plus, enjoy fast track entry, complimentary doggy treats, and much more!
