2025 Venue
Winterton Showground, DN15 9UG
This is a really lovely venue that has plenty of large open space for exercising your dogs and still allowing other handlers/dogs plenty of space. The rings themselves are within a fully fenced area of the showground, with a raised seating area around 2 sides of the main ring.
