Very good dogs - and their owners - have been flocking to Goodwood this weekend for the annual Goodwoof dog show.
The canine festival kicked off with a memorable celebration of rescue dogs, as hundreds of dogs and owners were welcomed by blue skies while proceeding from Goodwood House to the iconic Goodwoof letters.
A celebrity-packed event, Goodwoof has seen the likes of Clare Balding, Bill Bailey and Sir Michael Morpurgo in the literary corner, with Martin Clunes and Hugh Bonneville appearing today (May 17).
New for 2026, the Zen Den offered a calming retreat for dogs and owners alike. Visitors explored everything from tarot readings and crystal healing to pet astrology and truffle hunting. There was also a Lego kennel at the barkitechture zone, as part of a kennel design competition.
Here are some of the cutest photos from day one of the event.
