DogFest

DogFest, a dog-first festival series across the UK

DogFest is a festival brand built around dogs and their owners, organised by Stable Events Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales. The programme is structured as a series of distinct events rather than a single gathering, each with its own character and setting. The 2026 season comprised three editions, and the organisation has announced that further editions are planned for 2027.

The festival describes itself as a dog-first day out, combining activities for dogs, expert advice, shopping, food and entertainment. Each edition publishes its own sections on what is on, partners and frequently asked questions.

The three DogFest settings

• DogFest in the Countryside: presented as a dog-first day out designed around space, exploration and a change of pace from city life.
• DogFest on the Farm: a high-energy edition held in the heart of Yorkshire, featuring sheepdog trials and working displays, alongside welfare-led have-a-go activities for visitors' own dogs.
• DogFest at the Palace: held against the backdrop of Blenheim Palace, with show-stopping moments and shared adventures in a setting described as fit for dogs of distinction.

A further event, DogFest at Farm-Fest, also appears in the site's navigation alongside the three main editions.

Partners and sponsors

The festival works with a roster of commercial partners, several of which hold named roles. Agria appears as Headline Partner, Butternut Box as FRESH Dog Food Partner, CVS Vets as Official Vet Partner and NFRSA as Official Charity Partner. Bella+Duke and TopLife Formula are both listed as Feature Partners.

The wider brand partner list includes Durham Animal Feeds, Polestar Leeds, Naturo, Norsh, Tavo, The Inn Collection Group, Wellness CORE and WHIMZEES. The site also carries a separate section for sponsorship and exhibitor opportunities.

Awards, news and competitions

DogFest runs The DogFest Awards and maintains a news and competitions section. Among the promotions highlighted was a prize draw of £100 in Animed vouchers with CVS Vets, plus two runner-up prizes of £50 each. The site also published content under the heading "Check-ups with CVS Vets, Fewer Surprises".
