Well where do I start...Pawfest is such a brilliant dog event 🐕🐾 Very well organised...lots of activities to try out and lots of stalls to have a nose in. We thoroughly enjoyed the massive ball pit and the dog show classes. 10 out of 10. You won't be disappointed. Cant wait for next year 🎉
We had the loveliest day at Pawfest
Such a brilliantly organised event that genuinely felt so safe, relaxed and family friendly for both the dogs and the people attending. You could really tell how much thought had gone into every detail.
We especially loved all of the talks, activities and demonstrations throughout the day, there was such a lovely atmosphere everywhere you turned, and so much for both owners and doggies to enjoy together.
A perfect day out for any dog lover and we’ll definitely be coming back again next year 🤍
This was our 4th year coming back to Pawfest and honestly that alone says everything about how much we love this event. Every year we leave already excited for the next one because Pawfest genuinely feels like home to us now. The atmosphere is so welcoming, relaxed and full of lovely people who all just adore dogs.
One of the biggest reasons we keep returning is because of how incredibly well thought out Pawfest is for ALL dogs, especially anxious or nervous pups. As the owner of an anxious dog, finding events where your dog can actually feel comfortable and included is really rare, but Pawfest absolutely gets it.
The dedicated yellow entrance, Yellow Pup Parade and Dogs in Yellow Hour make such a huge difference. Having quieter entrances and spaces for nervous dogs instantly takes away so much stress and shows how much understanding and care has gone into organising the event. Reggie is usually quite anxious in busy environments, but at Pawfest he was genuinely relaxed and happy, which honestly means everything to us. It’s so lovely seeing anxious dogs not just accommodated for, but properly included and celebrated.
We also loved seeing how inclusive the event was for every type of dog. This year there was even a special class for assistance dogs, so we entered Lexie into it and it was such a lovely experience.
Alongside all the thoughtful planning, it’s also SO much fun. There is constantly something going on and so much for both dogs and owners to enjoy. The temptation alley was hilarious — all my pups gave in straight away the first time! But coming back the next two times they knew exactly what they had to do and did us proud without touching a thing. Everyone around us was cheering and laughing which just sums up the amazing atmosphere at Pawfest.
Lexie absolutely LOVED running so we kept going back to the recall race and bale race because she had the best time sprinting back and forth all day. Jet even gave the mini bales a go, which we honestly didn’t think he would do, but he surprised us and did it! What made it even more special was how encouraging all the staff were. They celebrated nervous or unsure dogs just for giving activities a try and that support means so much as an owner.
The atmosphere around the splash pool was incredible too. Even though we didn’t take part, just watching everyone cheering, laughing and getting involved with their dogs made it feel like such a lovely place to be. The new sand pit this year was AMAZING as well and our pups absolutely went crazy for it.
The new dog show classes were brilliant, especially the “Fastest Sausage Eater” class which had everyone laughing. We also loved all the talks and demonstrations which were informative, engaging and genuinely interesting to watch. It was lovely seeing so many people together enjoying such a positive dog-loving community.
The VIP area was another lovely addition and we really enjoyed meeting so many influencers and other dog lovers throughout the event. The off lead area was also the perfect way to end each day.
The staff deserve such a huge shoutout because every single person we spoke to was absolutely lovely — friendly, welcoming and so understanding of different dogs’needs. You can tell how much love and effort goes into Pawfest and it really shows in every detail.
Honestly, Pawfest tops any dog event we’ve ever been to. It’s inclusive, thoughtful, fun and genuinely feels like it’s been created by people who truly understand and love dogs.
If you have an anxious pup, an assistance dog or honestly any dog at all, I couldn’t recommend Pawfest enough. We absolutely love it and are already counting down to the next events later this year 🐾❤️
