Harrogate Dog Show will return next month.
Harrogate Business Improvement District announced today the event will be held on the piazza outside Victoria Shopping Centre on Saturday, April 13 at 10am.
Different classes will be judged throughout the day, from dog that the judge would most like to take home to best cross breed.
No pre-booking is required: to register to take part dog owners can simply turn-up on the day from 10am and join in. The event will include a new ‘have-a-go’ mini dog park and dog training workshops with Scott Adair will be held throughout the day.
Today’s announcement also said a star judge, whose identity will be revealed at a later date, will appear at this year’s show.
The dog show first took place during the four-day platinum jubilee celebrations in 2022.
Matthew Chapman, Harrogate BID Manager, said it would be a fun event that contributed to the vibrancy of the town centre. He added:
“The worth of the UK pet care market was recently valued at £7.2 billon, so while this is a wonderful event that no doubt increases footfall, it also has a hugely positive impact on our local economy.”
