DogFest is coming to Blenheim Palace for a tail-wagging weekend this October

Attention dog-lovers! Blenheim Palace will open its gates to four-legged visitors for a spectacular new weekend of canine celebration this October 2026.

Prepare for wagging tails, muddy paws and plenty of royal treatment, because this autumn dogs will take centre stage as DogFest at the Palace makes its debut at Blenheim Palace on Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 October 2026.

This new dog-friendly festival, presented by Agria Pet Insurance, promises a weekend where our four-legged companions are the true VIPs.

Set within the breathtaking grounds of Blenheim Palace, the event will transform the historic estate into a dog-lover’s paradise, with opportunities to explore the beautiful parkland, meet fellow owners, enjoy delicious food and browse a host of shopping stalls dedicated to dogs and their humans.

A packed programme of activities will ensure there is something for every pup, whether they are energetic adventurers, social butterflies or simply in search of a few extra treats.

Highlights include the Palace Parade, a joyful royal-inspired showcase where dogs can strut their stuff, and the Agria Fun Dog Show, featuring playful categories and the chance to be crowned the ultimate Best in Palace.

There will also be breed meet-ups, giving dogs and owners the chance to make new friends, while The Palace Lawn offers a relaxed space to sit back with a picnic, enjoy live acoustic music and join in with quizzes.

One of the most anticipated experiences will be the Agria Big Dog Walk, a rare chance for visitors and their canine companions to enjoy the spectacular grounds of Blenheim Palace together and take in the views of one of Britain’s most famous estates.

For those wanting the full royal experience, DogFest Plus tickets include fast-track entry, premium parking, access to an exclusive private paddock and a few extra treats for both dogs and their owners.

With all have-a-go activities included in the ticket price, plus an official commemorative photograph to remember the day, DogFest at the Palace is set to become the ultimate outing for dog lovers.
