DOGSTIVAL, the festival dedicated to four-legged fun, is back at Broadlands Park in Romsey this summer.
Jam-packed with all the things a dog loves, the festival takes place on June 3-4.
Headline sponsored by Naturo pet food, Dogstival will have arena displays, activities such as agility, scentwork and flyball, as well as fun dog shows.
Dogstival has teamed up with UK Agility, who will be hosting a regional tournament within the festival, so pups of all levels can compete for rosettes.
There’s also the 'Barkour' adventure playground and giant splash pools.
Starting at the Muddy Paws Tavern, guests will be able to let their fur and hair down at doggy discos, dog bingo and pub quizzes throughout the weekend, before heading over to The Hound Dog Stage with tribute acts such as Sing Out Sisters Abba Tribute and a 30-strong ‘En Masse Pop Choir’.

The main arena will be hosting Dogstival’s first-ever Doggie Sports Day. There will also be a Shetland pony display team with child ‘jockey’ riders.
Dogstival’s Canine MOT Centre will offer a one-stop shop for dog wellness advice and insight to help pups stay in peak condition. There’s also various ‘fitness challenges’ with a 0-30mph speed test, long jump and a test of sniffing power with scent work games.
Back at the Muddy Paws Tavern, humans and hounds can work on their downward dogs and practice canine Zen in Dog sessions (yoga for dogs), which will take place across two days.
Dogstival will have more than 140 shopping stands catering to a dog’s tastebuds, lifestyle, fun, health and wellbeing.
Tickets are priced from £18 adults and 6-16 year-olds from £10. For more information, visit Dogstival.co.uk.
