This award-winning festival for dogs and their humans is transforming into a pop-up beach resort, complete with 15 tonnes of sand, palm trees, and doggy paddling pools, thanks to Away Resorts.
Expect beach vibes, a foam party, and a doggy disco.
Fun for dogs
New for 2025 is a Wellness Zone featuring dog yoga (doga) and grooming, while the Paw Prints & Paintbrushes Art Studio allows pups to create peanut butter-fuelled artworks. There’s also tie-dye for humans and a giant graffiti dog installation.
Foodie pups can head to the Naturo Healthy Hound Kitchen for cooking demos, sausage-making, and a Bark Off baking contest. Birthday dogs get a special tea pawty celebration.
And even fun for humans!
Activities include splash pools, flyball, lure racing, scent work, Barkour, and the chance to win rosettes in the Fun Dog Show. The Big Top Show Tent brings circus acts, comedy and much more.
For humans, there’s live music, local food, and over 130 stalls, plus the UK’s friendliest dog pub, Buddies Bar, with bingo, quizzes, and breed meetups.
Tickets from £18. Kids under 5 go free.
