International Agility Festival 2010
13 -15 August 2010
Kelmarsh Hall, Kelmarsh, Northamptonshire NN6 9LY
Schedule and entry forms available from March 2010
The Kennel Club International Agility Festival is one of the world’s largest and most popular dog agility events attracting thousands of competitors from throughout the UK and across the world. The 2010 International Agility Festival will be held on 13–15 August 2010 and once again expects to host some 2,500 dogs of all types, sizes and experience levels amounting to over 18,000 class entries over the three days of the Festival.
The venue, Kelmarsh Hall, is a graceful 18th century historic house, set in beautiful gardens and surrounded by its own working estate in the rolling Northamptonshire and Leicestershire countryside. Easily accessible from all parts of the country, Kelmarsh is just 5 miles south of Market Harborough, 10 miles from Kettering and 11 miles north of Northampton on the Leicestershire/Northamptonshire border. Despite its rural location Kelmarsh Hall is easily accessible, being located less than a mile from Junction 2 of the A14 and only 15 minutes from the M1/ M6 junction. It is situated on the A508 between Market Harborough and Northampton.
A particular attraction of the annual festival is that it is open to any dog, as long as it is registered on one of the Kennel Club’s registers - Breed or Activity - making it the only world-class agility competition to be open to pedigrees, rescue dogs and crossbreeds alike. Everyone gets a chance to compete, and for the best there is the opportunity of securing a place at Crufts or at Discover Dogs. Competitors will again be able to spend the weekend camping on site and a wide range of trade stands are expected offering goods for both humans and dogs, all adding to the festival fun!
