The Kennel Club Building, Stoneleigh Park
The Centre of Educational Excellence for Dogs and their Owners
The Kennel Club Building is the UK’s only venue created to suit all canine educational needs from dog shows and training sessions to seminars and meetings.
A completely dog-friendly venue run by the Kennel Club Educational Trust (Registered Charity Number 1121454), the Building supports the Charity’s aim of providing opportunities to educate the public about dogs and responsible ownership.
In a great location in the centre of the Midlands, the Building is a short drive from several motorways, an international airport and national rail services. It is run by people who understand your needs in staging a canine event.
Artificial Grass Matting
We are pleased to announce that the Kennel Club Building has a great new addition to the facilities on offer. Artificial grass matting is now available to provide the perfect surface for safe indoor Agility and Heelwork to Music training and demonstrations.
