Goodwoof 2026: Two‑day event celebrating all things canine – book now and save 20% with early bird offer

Goodwoof returns for a fifth fabulous year. Set in the paddocks around The Kennels on the Goodwood Estate over the weekend of May 16/17, it’s the ultimate dog’s day out but there’s plenty for their humans to enjoy too. And, if you hurry you can take advantage of a special early bird ticket offer saving over 20%. Children aged 12 and under, and dogs go free and all activities are included in the ticket price.

Goodwoof isn’t just another dog event - it’s a full‑on celebration of companionship, creativity and canine fun - with much to enjoy across two days, from parades to shows, competitions, food and drink.

A celebration of rescue dogs

Each morning, the event is opened with a spectacular parade of dogs and their owners and this year, Goodwoof will shine the spotlight on rescue dogs.

These special canines have been given a second chance at a loving life; and this parade will celebrate the love and strong bond between dogs and their human families.

Parade goers, both human and hound, will meet the Duke of Richmond, before posing for a group photo outside Goodwood House and then setting off on the parade at 10am.

You can register your own rescue dog – big or small– to take part in this very special celebratory parade. Find out more here
