2026 marks the 44th year Leeds Championship Dog Show has been held at Harewood.

Organised by the the Leeds City and District Canine Association, and one of the premier events for dog exhibitors across the UK, this qualifier for Crufts has been held at Harewood since the early 1980’s and welcomes over 160 different Kennel Club breeds.

Can I visit the House and grounds as part of the event?

The Leeds Championship Dog Show sits outside of the general visitor area and access to the House, Gardens and Grounds isn’t included with an event ticket.

For any visitors who are not pre-booked exhibitors, a £10 charge will be applicable per car and will be payable by card payment only on the event entrance gates, along with a £10 per spectator dog charge.
