Paws in the Park

We’re bringing together everything canine for a tail-wagging day in the beautiful grounds of Rufford Abbey Country Park. Whether you’re a dog lover, dog owner, dog professional or simply barking mad about our four-legged friends, there’s something here for you.

• Sniff out local dog businesses and services
• Meet trainers, therapists, vets and canine experts
• Pick up treats, toys and goodies for your best friend
• Watch displays, demonstrations and activities throughout the day
• Discover clubs, charities and groups from across the region
• Enjoy great food, shopping and a paws-itively brilliant atmosphere

From puppies to pensioners, pedigree champions to lovable mutts, all are welcome.

So grab the lead, round up the pack and join us for what promises to be a doggone good day out!
