CEO and Founder of DogFest, Nicole Cooper, said: “We are so excited about our 10th anniversary year! Since our first event, more than 50,000 very soggy doggies have enjoyed splashing around in our Dog Diving activities, there have been over 1,000 winners in our Fun Dog Shows and over 650 miles have been covered in our Big Dog Walks – which is further than walking from John O’Groats to Land’s End!”

Harewood House, with its picturesque gardens and historic charm, provides the perfect backdrop for DogFest. Enjoy a scenic walk around the estate, capture stunning photos, and create lasting memories with your beloved pet.
