Goodwoof Tickets 2023 Unleashed

This year’s event in the beautiful fields surrounding the James Wyatt designed classical dog kennels set at the heart of the Goodwood Estate, saw crowds of dogs and their human companions enjoy a superb day out where the welfare and entertainment of our four-legged visitors was at the forefront throughout the weekend.

Back, and bigger than before, the ticket entry price gives visitors the opportunity to watch world-class competitions and demonstrations, get expert advice in the Wellness Centre, presented by MARS who lead the way in animal nutrition and health protection and enjoy a wide range of free workshops, including dog yoga, sound-bathing and reiki, in The Studio, presented by Randox. They can also teach their dog new tricks with unlimited Have-a-Go activities such as FlyBall, test their dog’s speed in the popular 50m Dash competition, browse the goods of carefully hand-picked retailers and exhibitors, chill out to the smooth sounds emanating from the bandstand, cool off with a dip in Fido’s Lido, and sit back with a glass of Taittinger champagne whilst listening to the mellifluous tones of well-known voices reading from dog themed works of fiction.

Super popular in May this year was the Mastercard presented architecture competition, Barkitecture, which saw a host of top-level architects putting their skills to the test as they designed the perfect abode for their own dog. Auctioneers Bonhams raised a substantial amount of money for this year’s charity, Dog’s Trust when the kennels were sold.

Adult Early Bird ticket prices have been held at £30 (£35 when the offer ends) for adults, £20 for young people aged 13-21 and all under 12s and dogs go free (but do need to be pre-booked). There is plenty of free parking followed by a lovely walk through the Goodwood coppices, or a Bark and Ride shuttle bus will be in operation throughout the weekend for those looking to save smaller legs.
