A spectacular day out for dogs and humans
Goodwoof , where do I start? What a day!
We woke up to glorious weather so headed out early to make the most of it.
When we arrived, the parking was well signposted and marshalled which made it a breeze and the same for collecting our tickets from the main gates.
We were then met with friendly smiles from the welcoming gate staff, checked through and continued to walk through the estate to the event ( approx 20 minutes) There is also a bark and ride bus service available.
First stop the Jelly Cat dog hotel where we checked in and became the proud new owners of two limited edition golden pups and had some great photo opportunities.
We excitedly proceeded on to visit the Wild at heart foundation stand, which was the chosen charity partner for this year and listened to the stories of how Nikki and her team work tirelessly to improve the well being of vulnerable free-roaming and abandoned dogs to ensure they receive the help and care they deserve.
On her stand she had an incredible artist Sophie Stock who was sketching Goodwoof dogs for the day so we just had to get involved and think you will agree that her portrait of Custard is just amazing.
After a quick walk through the Petplan snuffle garden and a spin on the prize wheel we decided to take a walk through the shady woodland area and discover the crystal healer where we were given some beautiful calming crystals. They also had a pet medium and a dog tarot card reader.
The zen den was our next stop presented by Kong where you are given a Kong to fill with a variety of foods from the tables to enjoy in the area with soft cushions and relaxing areas provided . What a treat.
Through to the literary corner next to listen to the wonderful Hugh Bonneville and his chats about Paddington and Downton abbey - he really was a delight.
We couldn't resist visiting the tattoo parlour to get our temporary tattoo souvenir to enjoy for days to come.
After lunch we watched some dogs having a groom at the grooming parlour and listened to some music by the Goodwood symphony orchestra then had a look at the Barkitecture area.
For the final part of our day we decided to visit and admire the sheepdog trials and browse the Goodwoof games and lastly dip Custard's paws into fidos lido to cool off after his exciting day.
There is so much to see and do at Goodwoof we hope you enjoyed reading about our time spent there.
Here's a quick round up of what we noticed around the event that made a day out with our dog so easy and fun.
