A FESTIVAL for dog lovers is set to return to Cheshire this summer.
DogFest, which is held at seven locations across the UK, will be held at Tatton Park on June 21 and 22.
The event, which was first held in 2014, has grown into a nationwide series and offers a range of activities for dogs and their owners.
There will be live music, food stalls, shopping opportunities, and expert-led talks on canine health, training, and wellbeing.
This year, the festival has introduced a new ticketing structure, with standard daily entry priced at £17.50.
Children under 11 and dogs can attend for free.
Each of the two-day events offers a variety of activities for dogs and their owners, including expert advice and workshops, displays from canine athletes, and a Makers Market showcasing artisan products from local businesses.
New features for 2025 include the Live Stage, flyball, scent work, and a roaming circus troupe.
DogFest event director, Tess Drew, said: “We can’t wait to open the gates at Tatton Park on June 21 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.
“We’ll see you there.”
These include fast track entry, premium parking, a lanyard, a dog bandana, and access to the DogFest Plus Paddock, which has a covered seating area, ball pit, splash pools, dedicated toilets, and a paid bar.
DogFest Plus ticket holders also get early access to Fun Dog Show and Dip & Dive bookings, free human and dog ice cream, and an exhibitor discount booklet.
The event is in partnership with Agria Pet Insurance, which has a five-year partnership deal with DogFest.
DogFest 2025 will take place at seven venues across the UK, including Ragley Hall in Warwickshire, Knebworth House in Hertfordshire, Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, Ashton Court in Bristol, Harewood House in Yorkshire, and Loseley Park in Surrey.
Tickets can be purchased online.
