The much-loved Harrogate Dog Show is set to return for a fifth year.
The event, which attracted thousands to the town centre on its return last year, will be back at the Piazza area of the Victoria Shopping Centre on Saturday 11th April 2026.
It’s being organised by Harrogate BID in partnership with Your Harrogate Radio and Victoria Shopping Centre.
Last year’s event was judged by special guest Amanda Owen, AKA the Yorkshire Shepherdess, and involved categories including ‘Handsomest Dog’, ‘Fanciest Female’, Cutest Puppy and Best Purebred.

This year’s categories and any potential special guests are yet to be revealed.
Here’s a flavour of what’s to come…
Mote details are set to be revealed in the coming weeks.
Your Harrogate's coverage of the Harrogate Dog Show 2026 is sponsored by Your Family Vets.
