Offering much more than just music, PetLife Festival will keep all ages entertained throughout the day, with a host of unique areas hosting everything from pet displays and family fun to exciting activities.

Animals form an important part of the day, with The Paddock offering the chance to meet some heroic animals who spend their lives helping others, including Police Dog Finn, who will be presented with the PDSA Gold Medal live at PetLife.

Head to the festival’s ultimate pet wellbeing zone, The Green, where PDSA staff will be on hand to share advice and knowledge about people’s pets and their behaviour. Visitors can also expect fun, interactive ways to learn how to keep beloved pets happy and healthy.

Enjoy some incredible animal performances and demonstrations in The Arena, including the Paws for Thought dog agility team, and the Dog and Duck Show who’ll deliver brilliant family fun.

Meanwhile if you’re looking to enjoy some time out or stretch your legs with your four-legged friends in tow, The Country is marked with 2km and 5km routes, complete with beautiful views of the surrounding countryside.
