Attendees went on the 'Great Dog Walk', a charity walk around the beautiful festival grounds, with two goes on the day while there were agility displays, doggy dancing and even take part in have-a-go sessions with your dog.

Experts were on hand with with demonstrations on all aspects of your dog’s life, with a bespoke dog shopping area where dog owners could treat their pooch to a grooming session.

Cholmondeley's grounds were awash with excited pooches for the whole weekend, with two more events planned in Bristol and Hertfordshire in the coming weeks.
