DOGFEST, THE UK’S LARGEST DOG FESTIVAL APPOINTS COATE PR AGENCY

Feb 18, 2025

Award winning Cotswold based PR agency, Coate PR is delighted to announce a new partnership with the UK’s premier outdoor festival for dog lovers, DogFest.

This collaboration aims to enhance DogFest’s media presence across the industry and engage more dog lovers, exhibitors and brands in this showcase of all things canine. With Coate PR’s experience in the pet industry, including a strong network of media contacts and a deep understanding of the pet sector, this partnership is poised to bring even more visibility to the event and its sponsors.

Founded in 2015, DogFest has grown into a much-anticipated event for dog owners and enthusiasts and was acquired by event management company, Stable Events Ltd at the end of last year. With its vibrant mix of activities, expert talks and pet-focused brands, DogFest’s seven events hosted at iconic venues across the UK have become a staple in the pet owners’ calendar, drawing large crowds and a wide array of exhibitors each year.

“We’re thrilled to be working with DogFest to help elevate its profile and increase event footfall,” said April Coate, Managing Director at Coate PR. “DogFest is already an incredibly popular event and our goal is to increase its reach even further by engaging with potential visitors through industry publications, influencers, celebrities and brand partners. Our team is committed to positioning DogFest as a key fixture in the canine calendar and supporting its continued growth as part of the Stable Events portfolio.”

“We’re excited to be working with Coate PR to take DogFest to the next level. Their expertise in the pet industry and strong media connections will help us engage even more dog lovers, exhibitors, and partners, ensuring DogFest continues to grow as the UK’s leading festival for dogs and their owners,” added DogFest Event Director, Tess Drew.

This new partnership adds to the list of events the Coate PR team proudly support under the Stable Events umbrella which includes the iconic Game Fair and the Agria Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials. In addition to this, it adds to the growing roster of canine brands Coate PR already work with, including turmeric pet supplement brand, The Golden Paste Company and Hollings Dog Treats.

The first of DogFest’s 2025 events will take place in May at Ragley Hall in Warwickshire with additional festivals scheduled throughout the summer at locations across the UK. For more information about DogFest, please visit www.dogfest.co.uk.
