The International Agility Festival

The Kennel Club is proud to host Europe’s biggest and best celebration of agility at Rutland Showground.

Each year, dogs of all breeds and backgrounds come from across the globe to take part in this unique event. With a record number of entries in 2025, the festival promises four thrilling days of competition, camaraderie and canine excellence.

Once again sponsored by Skinners, Seventeen rings are in action at IAF, including the main arena – streamed live on YouTube – and with over 200 classes taking part, every dog has the chance to compete at a level that suits them.

Open to all dogs registered with The Kennel Club or on the Activity Register, the IAF is one of the few top-level agility competitions that truly welcomes everyone. And it’s not just the competitors who get to have fun – spectators can bring their dogs too. So whether you’re running, cheering, or simply soaking up the atmosphere, join us and be part of the action!
