Have-a-go Agility 

A great favourite for all to get involved in! It doesn't matter if your dog is a pro or if you want to try for the first time. This activity suits all abilities and is always a lot of fun for participants and the crowd. 

Haybale Hurdles 

Can your dog dodge and jump over the hay bales in the fastest time? There is a super prize for the fastest dog and of course lots of fun for all involved. It is also a great excuse to snap that picture of your dog mid-air! 

Doggy Lucky Dip 

However lucky your dog is with their prize, they are for sure going to enjoy sniffing and snuffling for their lucky dip! With a prize guaranteed every time, there are no sore losers here.

Dorset Car Club 

There is something for everyone at this event! Stop by the Dorset Car Club area and view their unique selection of cars. They have kindly decided to support our event and we are thrilled that they will be joining us. 

Liberty's Birds Of Prey 

Liberty’s Owl, Raptor and Reptile Centre are a charity located just outside Ringwood near the natural beauty of Hampshire’s New Forest National Park. Liberty’s care for many different Birds Of Prey, including Owls, Hawks, Falcons and Vultures, as well as a collection of Reptiles and other creepy crawlies. Visit their stand to meet some of these beautiful birds, they are looking forward to sharing their knowledge and educate visitors on their work.

WorldLife

World Life believes in conservation through education, and through our exotic animal encounter experiences, we demonstrate the value of these beautiful and wonderful creatures within the fragile balance of nature. We have visited schools (Key Stage one to Key Stage three) preschools, youth organisations, care homes, Birthday parties, fetes, festivals, family days, corporate events and fundraisers throughout Somerset, Dorset, Devon, Hampshire and Wiltshire, bringing with us a wonderful range of exotic reptiles and creepy crawlies for people to meet, handle and learn about. Imagine watching 'Horrible Histories' but with weird and wonderful creatures from all over the globe! With our high octane interactive sessions we bring a new exciting dimension to learning.

Wessex Wilderness Skills

Do you ever wander through woodland and just want to sit and breathe for a while? Wish for that feeling that you're welcome to stay in one place without the fear of trespass? Do you wish to 'connect' with your surroundings more? Learn how to 'thrive' and not just 'survive' with the resources nature provides? Wessex Wilderness Skills CIC would like to share their knowledge with you.

Their objectives are to promote physical and mental wellbeing, assist in an alternative form of stress reduction and provide an inclusive and welcoming environment to those experiencing social and domestic problems. As well as offering various bushcraft experiences to individuals, groups and especially families, the principles of their main aim still remain to benefit and encompass all of the community who seek a positive outdoor learning experience.

Live Music 

Summer Raffle 

Could you win a day out in Dorset? A pet hamper? Or perhaps something tasty to take home? Summer Raffle tickets are just £1 each and the raffle will be drawn on the afternoon of the event. 

Tombola 

What's an event without a tombola! We are running a classic tombola with many different prizes, all money raised will go towards caring for rescue animals. Will luck be on your side?

Cool Down Zone 

It is important to keep your dog cool and so we have free access to our cool-down zone for everyone. We have paddling pools, wet towels, dog bowls and more! Make sure to pop by for a quick chill amongst all the fun. 

Dog Shop 

We have an array of different dog items available to purchase, including new and used items. We all love to treat our four-legged friends and you can have that 'feel good' factor knowing each item you purchase will help animals in need.
