Nowzad at DogFest: Join Us October 3rd and 4th at Blenheim Palace

This October, the Nowzad team is heading to the majestic grounds of Blenheim Palace for a truly special edition of DogFest. We would love for you and your furry companions to join us in this historic setting for a celebration of all things canine.

A Grand Adventure for Every Dog

DogFest at the Palace is more than just a walk; it is an unforgettable experience set against one of Britain's most breathtaking backdrops. Whether your dog is a "Little Lord" or a "Sovereign Sniffer," there is magic waiting around every corner:

  • The Big Dog Walk: Join a community of fellow dog lovers for a scenic stroll through the palace’s stunning autumnal gardens.

  • Regal Fun Dog Shows: Let your pup take centre stage in the Agria Fun Dog Show arena. From "Best Rescue" to "Toto Lookalikes," every dog is a star.

  • Interactive Play Zones: Watch your dog fly through agility courses, dive into the hay bale hurdles, or socialise in the breed meet-up areas.

  • Paws & Peace: Take a moment to soak in the atmosphere and enjoy some quiet bonding time in the peaceful meadows.

Meet the Nowzad Team & Ewok

We are so excited to bring the spirit of Nowzad to Oxfordshire. Our stand will be a place of inspiration, stories, and, of course, plenty of puppy love.

  • Meet Ewok, Pen Farthing & the Team: Come and say hello to our famous ambassador, Ewok, and chat with the team about our life-saving missions in Ukraine and Afghanistan.

  • Exclusive Merchandise: From "Nowzad" T-shirts to lovely dog toys, pick up some beautiful Nowzad gear. Every penny raised helps us continue our work rescuing and caring for animals in conflict zones.

  • Stories of Hope: Learn first-hand how your support changes lives, one rescue at a time.

Plan Your Royal Visit

DogFest is the ultimate family day out, and the best part? Kids under 11 and all dogs go FREE! Your ticket includes show entry, your official commemorative photo, and access to all the "have-a-go" activities.

  • Dates: Saturday 3rd & Sunday 4th October

  • Location: Blenheim Palace

  • A Fresh Treat: Every visiting dog can fetch a delicious, fresh lunch courtesy of Butternut Box.

  • Parking: Note that parking is included in your entry ticket for this event, making your arrival as smooth as possible.

OP KRAMATORSK: £5,000 ANONYMOUS MATCH CHALLENGE! We have some INCREDIBLE news from the very front line of our rescue mission in Ukraine — but it comes after a very distressing day in Kramatorsk yesterday. A devastating Russian strike hit the city centre, tragically claiming the lives of 5 people and leaving more than 20 others injured. This is the backdrop our team and many, many others is working against; the sounds of air raid sirens and the threat of strikes are constant. From the safety

On Tuesday the Nowzad team headed to work at the Hostomel shelter, a rural settlement in Kyiv Oblast, run by the lovely Maria. The area was heavily attacked since the war started, seeing the number of dogs rise to around 500 and approximately 200 cats. On the way, Peter and the rest of the team found it incredibly sad to pass scarred buildings and piles of rubble, no thanks to Russian missiles and drones - all in such close proximity to the shelter. Led by Dr Lachlan, more neutering and vacc

Pen did a live interview with Emma Bullimore on BBC this morning about the work Nowzad are currently doing in Ukraine. Enroute more supply-loading at the warehouse, Liuba took Peter Egan and team to pay respects to fallen Ukrainian soldiers. A very emotional morning and startling seeing the vast number of lives cut short by a senseless war. This isn't the end of it...there are many more graves for brave soldiers they've lost. #Ukraine #NoAnimalLeftBehind #CannonballRun #OperationKramatorsk
