Harrogate Dog Show set to return in April

Tuesday, 4 February 2025 06:30

Harrogate's Dog Show will return for a fourth year in April.

Harrogate’s popular dog show is set to return in April, organisers have revealed.

The event will be back on the Piazza outside the Victoria Shopping Centre on Saturday 12th April.

It will be the fourth edition of the show, which first launched in 2022.

Last year the event was judged by celebrity guests Amanda Owen, the Yorkshire Shepherdess, and her son, Reuben.

This year’s judge is yet to be revealed.

Previously categories have included ‘Handsomest Dog’, ‘Fanciest Female’, Cutest Puppy and Best Purebred.

A pop-up pet themed market was also introduced to the dog show for the first time last year.

The Dog Show is one of a number of events set to be hosted by Harrogate BID.

The organisation has also revealed Harrogate Mothering Funday will return in March, as well as the Harrogate Celebration of Fashion (May) and Harrogate Music Weekender (October).
