There are many tribute brands which give the real acts a good run for their money. Music makes everything better and when you have dogs, music, food and drink in the great outdoors what more could you want?

• There will be some music from from the Bristol band Pretty Criminal.

In Conclusion

To conclude, Woofstock Dog Festival is simply fantastic as an event for you and your dog. The variety of activities means you can go from music, to dog education through to dog fun and activities. You could also have a drink and conversation with like minded dog lovers. It's not too bad being at the very bottom of the country where it's a touch warmer too, so long as you keep your dogs cool, and what's cooler than attending a festival together!
