4 & 5 October 2025

DogFest, Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire

Halloween party for the kids
Little ones are in for a treat with our spook-tacular two-hour Halloween party! Expect a fang-tastic disco, thrilling games, bubbles, children’s entertainment, and amazing prizes to be won. Costumes encouraged – it’s time to bring the spooky spirit to life!

Pumpkin patch magic
No October event is complete without pumpkins! Our pumpkin patch photo opportunities are perfect for capturing those cosy seasonal memories – whether it’s family portraits, adorable dog snaps, or selfies in a sea of orange.

Fun for furry friends
Dogs don’t miss out on the fun either! From the hilarity of apple bobbing for dogs to the chance to stretch their legs, your pup is guaranteed a tail-wagging good time. And for families, the walk will be a special kids Trick or Treat Walk, complete with sweet buckets to collect goodies along the way.

Halloween face painting
Transform into your favourite spooky character with Agria’s Halloween face painting – fun for kids (and adults too, if you dare!).

Acoustic sessions
For those seeking a more relaxed vibe, settle down and enjoy beautiful acoustic music performances throughout the day, offering the perfect autumn soundtrack.

A day full of seasonal joy
Set against the stunning backdrop of Blenheim’s golden autumn scenery, this is more than just a day out – it’s a chance to celebrate the season, spend quality time with family and friends, and make magical memories with your four-legged companions.

AGRIA DOG WALK

We’re excited to announce that the Agria Dog Walk is coming to Blenheim Palace! The Agria Dog Walk is your chance to enjoy the outdoors with your pup, explore scenic routes, and connect with fellow dog enthusiasts. This walk will be a special Trick or Treat walk, held at 2pm!

Explore Blenheim Palace:

Step into history at Blenheim Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the birthplace of Winston Churchill. Your walk begins at Bladon Bridge, spanning the River Evenlode, and takes you through Sheepwalks Field, offering stunning views of the palace and its gorgeous parkland.

With 300 rooms, Blenheim is one of Britain’s largest private homes – how many can you count from the outside. It’s a walk filled with grandeur, history, and breathtaking scenery!

We had an absolutely brilliant time and haven?t shut up about it to anyone that will listen. Well organised, well run, great value for money. We can?t wait for next year ? except we?ll stay longer to fit it all in!
