As we slowly get back to normal, some of the New Forests most popular events are set to return in 2021.
Dogstival
On the weekend of 5-6 June, Dogstival will be back at the glorious Burley Park. The festival includes main arena displays, a behaviour stage, K9 aqua sports and ‘have a go’ areas including flyball, agility, gun dog village, and scent training. The festival also features a shopping area, delicious local food and drink, live music and more.

New Forest Show
Running for three days from 27-29 July, the New Forest Show brings with it a busy timetable of events such as show jumping, a Heavy horse musical, agricultural and forestry displays, food and drink and a whole host of shopping opportunities.
