THE LARGEST and fastest-growing festival dedicated to dogs will be coming to Newbury.

Created by dog lovers and for dog lovers, the festival will bring the ultimate weekend of canine fun, entertainment and adventure from April 13 -14.

From fun dog show classes, talent shows for gifted pooches, to the cutest pup, best rescue, waggiest tail and worst hair day - All About Dogs is a joyous celebration of man’s best friend.

They are also fantastic family events with great entertainment on offer for all ages.

New for 2019 at Newbury, visitors can enjoy four fun shows including special categories for large and small dogs.

Other new events this year include the Dog and Duck Shows, Insta-POOCH: Meet the doggy stars of the Instagram world, walk the red carpet and Hollywood Hounds, the canine look-a-like competition.

To celebrate the arrival of the royal baby, there will also be a royal puppy show on the main stage.

The most noble puppy prince or princess will win the crown.

All About Dogs Director Matt Upson said: "The festival's popularity is growing every year and we are always looking at new ways to entertain and delight our visitors.

"We see the shows as really fun family events and, of course, that definitely includes the doggy family members.

"Our aim is to deliver a spectacular, feel good day out for both our two and four legged visitors and to offer them something unique they wouldn’t get at a traditional dog show event."

World class arena displays and demonstrations showcase the extraordinary skills and bonds of both the dogs and their handlers, and there will be a chance to meet and chat with renowned dog experts at the Village Green.

The main stage will play host to a packed programme of interactive demonstrations as well as live performances and special guest star appearances.
