A dog-friendly festival just over the Warwickshire border returns on the weekend of June 10 and 11.
DogFest is back with hundreds of retailers, dog groomers and pet experts heading to Ragley Hall, near Alcester.
The festival, held in partnership with ManyPets, is designed to be a fun day out for families and for their four-legged friends.
DogFest fan and television presenter Michaela Strachan will also be there.
She said: “I absolutely love DogFest, every one I've been to has been such a fun day out, I can't wait to be back again.
“Being surrounded by dogs of all different shapes and sizes in stunning grounds is definitely something I look forward to.
“So, I'll see you there for The Big Dog Walk, entertainment, yummy food, stalls, shows, advice, plenty of wagging tails, wet noses and so much more.”
Festival guests and their four-legged friends can enjoy have-a-go activities stations including an agility course and the popular hay bale racing.
Visitors will also be able to grab a rosette at the Fun Dog Show, which sees pooches compete in categories including Best Rescue, Most Fabulous Fella and Loveliest Lady.
DogFest has over 20 food and drink stalls serving burgers, pizzas, crepes and even cocktails. There’s even doggy ice cream so no one is left out.
Once festival goers and their dogs have had a go at the activities, they can pamper their pooches with some retail therapy from venders like Doggie Doo’s Pet Boutique and grab a handmade dog collar, harness, or lead, or head to Snuffle Shop to pick up a doggy enrichment toy.

You can also get expert advice from some of the industry’s leading professionals including dog behaviourist Adem Fehmi, who will be hosting talks in the Behaviour Zone, Channel 4s Steph’s Packed Lunch resident pet expert Chloe Fuller, who will be demonstrating her exceptional pets, the Super Spaniels, or catch talks from professional dog groomer Julie Harris, CEO of the Groomers Spotlight.
