2025 was the year of the dachshund which were celebrated daily with Goodwoof’s opening parade. This saw hundreds of tail wagging sausage dogs streaming behind the German oompah band from Goodwood House then threading their way through the huge orange Goodwoof hounds, to kickstart another day of fun.
Visitors enjoyed a stellar line up in the shady enclave that is Literary Corner and the Art Café. Celebrated authors such as Sir Michael Morpurgo, comedian Russell Kane, broadcaster Clare Balding, actor Hugh Bonneville and illustrator Anita Mangan chatted about their books and their love of dogs to entranced audiences throughout the two days.
Over in the Barkitecture display, pups of all shapes and sizes eagerly tried out the beautifully designed kennels put together by topflight architects following the theme From Nature, For Nature. A celebrity panel of judges, headed up by firm friend of Goodwoof, Grand Designs’ Kevin McCloud and including comedian Bill Bailey and journalist, Hannah Betts, carefully judged the stunning array of canine abodes before declaring ‘Snowdon Dog House’ designed by Lord David Snowdon and Matthew Rice, created with Scott Simpson, the winner. All kennels were then auctioned at the event by Bonhams raising funds for Goodwoof’s 2025 charity partner, Wild at Heart Foundation to help them compassionately reduce the world’s stray dog population and educate communities about dog welfare issues.
Elsewhere, the Goodwoof High Street was thronged as visitors beat a path to the exciting Dog Hotel, presented by global favourites, Jellycat, as well as Goodwoof’s very own pop-up Fortnum & Mason branch, beautiful flowers from Wild at Heart and a super popular pampering parlour expertly managed by King’s Road grooming cognoscenti, Love My Human Townhouse.
For those of a competitive nature, there were gun and sheepdog trials filled with best-in-class competitors, more usually found representing the Home nations at international competitions, as well as Goodwoof’s own Flyball challenge which was won by Odyssey, followed closely by Bristol Ball-istics and Commandos. The MARS Wellness stage played host to an incomparable array of super-knowledgeable experts on all things every dog owner needs to know in order to keep their pup well fed, well behaved and in tip top condition. The stage let its hair down as the sun began to sink on Goodwoof Saturday by welcoming the hilarious hosts of the popular Oh My Dog podcast, comedians Jack Dee and Seann Walsh who entertained the large crowd with their experiences of dog ownership before being joined by Goodwoof’s own, Bill Bailey, who ramped up the comedy still further with tales of rampantly aggressive chickens and his wide collection of animals.
The hotly contested Chien Charmant competition celebrated the amazing bond between owners and their four-legged friends as judges, including TV’s Alex Jones, Jodie Kidd, comedian John Bishop and Harry Potter actor, Tom Felton, chose their favourites.
Joining dancing brothers AJ and Curtis Pritchard on the Ministry of Hound dancefloor, dogs let off steam to specially selected sounds chosen by MOH stalwart, DJ Fat Tony whilst the Goodwood Symphony Orchestra provided the perfect soothing moment over lunchtime each day as they helped celebrate the life of close friend of Goodwoof, Jennifer Reid.
Land Rover Discovery, Goodwoof’s official automotive partner unveiled two new editions, Gemini and Tempest, the Vitality Goodwoof Walk provided a super shady spot for visitors to explore the delights along the way – tarot readers, crystal healing, forest bathing, truffle hunting and the Zen Den presented by KONG before they found themselves at the ever-popular Fastest Dog challenge, presented by DHL. Out of the woodland, Fortnum & Mason provided picnics and feasts and there was a wide range of food outlets to suit any palate dotted around the showground.
The Taittinger Champagne Bar bustled throughout the day as did the canine visitors’ favourite meet up spot, Fido’s Lido, presented by LeShuttle, where hot dogs took a cooling dip before heading for the oasis of calm, the Randox Health Studio for a spot of doga or massage.
Overall, the sight of happy dogs strolling (or often being carried) back to their cars at the end of another Goodwoof day, together with the money raised for charity and a wonderfully enjoyable dog-centred day, with something for everyone included, made sure that visitors – both two and four-legged, had enjoyed a Goodwoof to remember.
