FUN DOG SHOW - BACK FOR 2024!
We love our furry friends at The Garlic Festival and we have always wanted to hold a fun dog show to celebrate our four-legged visitors. Last year was such a success, raising hundreds of pounds for two charities, so it’s back for 2024 on Saturday AND Sunday again!
Big thanks go to Louise Rippon from Preziosa Dachshunds for making this all happen, as ever. The trophies are ordered, the medals in order and the prizes being gathered!
All you have to do is be there!* If you’re bringing your dog along to the Garlic Festival, the Dog Show will take place in our large arena right in front of the Garlic Marquee.
