DogFest Tatton
DogFest Tatton
Designed with our four legged best friends in mind, DogFest returns to Tatton Park on 20 and 21 June 2026.
Presented by Agria Pet Insurance, this year’s event brings a fresh ‘In the Countryside’ theme – hosted by much-loved presenter Matt Baker MBE. The festival combines wide, open spaces to roam in the gorgeous grounds of Tatton Park with a collection of carefully-curated have-a-go activities to give guests and pets the freedom to create a day just for them. Whether your dog loves following new scents, splashing in water, or stretching their legs in scenic surroundings, there are plenty of ways to join in.
DogFest in the Countryside offers a change of pace from the everyday hustle and bustle, inviting visitors to enjoy:
• The Baker’s Arms – pull up a seat and soak up the atmosphere while enjoying expert chats, interactive games, and daily pub quizzes, plus special appearances from Matt Baker across the weekend
• Breed Meet-Ups – a relaxed opportunity to see familiar faces and make new connections
• The Agria Fun Dog Show – not to be taken too seriously, but to celebrate our beloved pets
• The Paws & Peace Meadow – a quiet, welcoming space designed for calmer moments, with shaded seating and ‘doga’ – dog yoga – sessions
• Dog Diving – for both confident swimmers and first-timers, this is the perfect chance to build confidence in a safe, calm setting
• The Giant Ball Pit – built for digging, diving, and burning energy for those livelier pups
• Dogstacle Course – with obstacles inviting dogs and owners to take on a series of challenges as a team, at your own pace
• Hay Bale Hurdles – a lively countryside challenge for pups of all shapes and sizes
• The Agria Dog Walk – enjoy Sniff & Stroll trails for slower, sensory-led exploration, or wander through open fields and see where the day takes you
• Dog Agility – work together to take on this course designed for all abilities, enhancing your bond while building confidence and coordination.
• DogFest Dash – for dogs who love to chase, with a moving lure and a live leaderboard
