Tickets are now on sale for DogFest ahead of its return to Harewood House in September.
DogFest, in partnership with Agria Pet Insurance, is billed as the UK’s “ultimate festival for dog-lovers”, celebrating the special bond between dogs and their owners.
It sees over 150,000 dog lovers enjoy a weekend of festival fun at some of the country’s most beautiful stately venues, including Harewood House between Harrogate and Leeds.
The event will return to the historic venue on 13th and 14th September.
First held in 2014, DogFest has grown into a nationwide series, offering a huge range of fun activities as well as expert-led talks on canine health, training and wellbeing.
It features live music, food stalls, shopping opportunities and more.
DogFest Event Director, Tess Drew, said:
“We can’t wait to open the gates at Ragley Hall on 10 May and welcome our dog loving community to the first DogFest of 2025.
“We are working extremely hard to ensure we deliver a great experience for all our DogFest family – canine and human.
“There will be all the familiar exciting happenings and experiences at each event as you would expect but we’ve added a few new ones which will make DogFest into even more of a dog lover’s paradise.”
For 2025, DogFest is introducing a fair and simple ticketing structure. Standard daily entry is £17.50, with free parking included.
Plus, children under 11 and dogs go free.
Each of the two-day events will have a huge choice of ‘have a go’ activities to try with your dog, lots of free expert advice and workshops to widen your canine knowledge, world-class displays from top canine athletes.
There will also be a brand new 'Makers Market' which showcases artisan products from local businesses at each venue. 
New features for 2025 also include the Live Stage, flyball, scent work and even a roaming circus troupe.
Agria Pet Insurance has also joined the DogFest family in 2025 with a headlining partnership deal which spans five years. Founded in Sweden in 1890, Agria has been protecting animals in the UK since 2011 with award-winning policies developed in close collaboration with vets and animal welfare organisations.
Alongside Harewood House, DogFest 2025 takes place at six other venues across the UK:
