The lovely people at Fentiman\u2019s<\/a> botanically brewed beverages might only produce wonderful looking drinks for your humans, but they have very kindly written to tell us about some dog friendly festivals that you can go to as long as your human goes too. I have to say, some of these look huge fun for dog and owner so I thought you might like to hear about them all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This one\u2019s all about the dogs. While you have your own time to shine at human festivals, DogFest in Tatton Park welcomes our furry friends to try their paw at a range of activities<\/a> and fun events.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n The two-day event in Cheshire features a \u2018V.I.Pooch Experience\u2019, a \u2018Dog School\u2019, and a \u2018Big Dog Walk\u2019. Talking part in the \u2018Big Dog Walk\u2019 helps raise money for Dogs Trust \u2013 helping more dogs find loving families.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Your dogs will be able to meet a variety of breeds while you can enjoy the company of hundreds more dog-loving folk.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Located near the village of Standon in Hertfordshire, this festival is as much for dogs<\/a> as it is for their human companions. In 2022, Standon Calling will welcome headliners Madness and Anne-Marie alongside events including comedy shows and a costume parade.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n For dogs, there\u2019s also a food stall and water bowls scattered around the festival. There are also dog welfare services on offer, just to check on them if needed. If you\u2019re looking for more fun, Standon Calling also has a dog show with competitive categories including \u2018Dog with the Waggiest Tail\u2019 and \u2018Looks Most Like Owner\u2019.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Dogs must love the musical talents of Madness. The band features again at Lindisfarne Festival in September. The festival welcomes well-behaved pooches<\/a> and well-behaved owners acknowledging that some dogs will lap up the attention of festival-goers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n The festival only asks that dogs do not enter the music marquees and to keep our friends on a short lead to help them feel more comfortable and safer. This music festival may be louder than others on the list, so this is one for confident dogs \u2013 others may prefer to snuggle up at home instead.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Do dogs bark with a northern accent? The North East Dog Festival may be the best place to answer that question, with hundreds gathering to celebrate their canine companions in a range of events and activities<\/a> over two days in September.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n The event promises food, drink, and festival vibes for visiting humans and unimaginable fun for dogs. Hosting dog experts and fanatics alike, take part in agility courses, displays, and dog shows with plenty of prizes up for grabs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n This family festival is for everyone \u2013 including your dog. With a focus on folk music, the event is a great opportunity to explore new authentic artists and established performers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Shrewsbury Folk Festival also promotes itself as a dog-friendly festival<\/a>. It even offers free poop bags in case of any little accidents.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Be ready to enjoy a diverse range of music. Who knows? Your dog may even sing along with a little howl.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nDogFest, 18-19 June<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
