Kicking off our 6 weeks of dog based fun at the Gardens with quite possibly the best class ever. Enter with your real dog or dress up your favourite stuffed dog toy. Anything goes, you can just dress up your dog or yourselves as well, be as creative and silly as you like!

Top tip: We do enjoy a dog based pun here, last year we had a Didier Dogba and a JK Growling!

Class entries are £1, all proceeds to Canine Partners. Come to the activities tent to be photographed. Judging will then take place on the following Monday, with the winner announced on the Tuesday. we will announce winners on social media and contact them via email. Rosettes for 2nd and 3rd places will be posted out after the 4th of September. Winner's rosettes can be collected at the championship evening.

Rosettes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places for both real dog and stuffed dog classes. The winner of each class will be invited to attend our final championship round at Riverhill on Friday 4th September 5-6pm where the overall winner for each category will be crowned and everyone will have some cake.

You can also have a go at spotting our dog, Troy, who will be hiding in a different location around the Gardens each week, find him and get one of our specially designed Troy stickers!

NORMAL ENTRY CHARGES FOR THE GARDENS STILL APPLY. YOU MUST BOOK IN IN ADVANCE ONLINE. WE CANNOT ACCEPT ANY WALK-INS DURING THIS TIME.
