Glorious Goodwoof

Goodwood is better known for cars than canines, but its latest event is a doggy affair —a show celebrating your precious pups. Wellness workshops, behavioural and veterinary experts talking anxiety management and the secrets of your dog’s body language, plus pop culture, canine icons and heroes from history alongside trails, treats and plenty of play, adding up to a glorious day out. Perhaps my favourite award is for the best Barkitecture, presented by Mastercard UK, chaired by Kevin Mccloud, with some of the world’s best in architecture and design creating an exhibition of kennels. The winning design will be auctioned for the Dogs Trust by Bonhams. May 28–29 (01243 755055; www.goodwood.com/goodwoof).
