Paw-sitively amazing! Dog-friendly Woofstock music festival celebrates its tenth year at Powderham Castle from Friday 14th to Sunday 16th June. The UK's only award-winning, two-night and three-day dog-and-family-friendly music festival - is back and bigger than ever, celebrating its tenth anniversary in 2024 with a stellar lineup.
Crowd-pleasing tribute acts including Dua Lipa, Taylor Swift, Elton John and Dolly Parton covers will be taking to the stage and pooches are more than welcome - and will be well-catered for with activities, demonstrations including police and gun dog displays and contests during which your pup can show off their agility, flyball skills and obedience. They can even paint with their owners in the Pawcasso tent, and tuck into dog ice cream.
You don't need to bring a four-legged friend to attend - there's also a range of workshops on offer for human guests too - including circus skills, climbing wall and archery - and the kids will love Bounce Land! There's also a shopping village, delicious food, a range of speakers, a puppy area and a dog-friendly beach.
Day tickets start from 11.50 for adults, or pack up your tent, camper or caravan and camp for the weekend, for an extra 60 in addition to ticket prices. Or stay in style inside a five-metre round bell tent with the VIP (Very Important Pooches) glamping experience from 400 including VIP tickets.
