As we stage the fifth Goodwoof, we’ll shine a well-deserved spotlight on rescue dogs for our parade in 2026.

At Goodwoof 2026 dogs of all breeds, shapes, and sizes will take centre stage as we shine the spotlight on the beloved rescue dog. We’d love to see a whole host of these adorable canines in the Goodwoof Opening Parade on 16 and 17 May 2026.
Like most devotees of the faithful hound, we reserve a special place in our hearts for rescue dogs. These four-legged friends have been given a second chance at happiness. Coming from all kinds of backgrounds, they bring so much love, loyalty, and playfulness into their new homes and we can’t wait to celebrate them by making the Goodwoof Opening Parade all about them.


The Opening Parade sets off from Goodwood House. You can either walk in from the car park if you fancy stretching your dog’s legs or hop onto the free Bark & Ride bus which will drop you at the right place.
Once everyone is gathered (around 0930hrs), you’ll be welcomed by The Duke of Richmond, before posing for a group photo outside Goodwood House.
The parade starts its short, celebratory journey, just before 1000hrs.
