Tickets are now on sale for Crufts, which returns to the NEC, Birmingham, from March 5-8, 2020.

The four-day event, which attracts more than 150,000 people and 27,000 dogs, boasts a diverse programme of dog competitions, including the finale of the Friends for Life competition, which recognises unsung canine heroes and a celebration of crossbreeds with the Scruffts final.

There will also be opportunities to meet and greet around 200 different breeds in the Discover Dogs area, shop at more than 400 specialist trade stands and enjoy the full arena show with all its displays and competitions.

Show-goers also have the opportunity to follow the Best in Show journey, beginning with the Utility and Toy group competitions on Thursday, March 5, Gundog group on the Friday, Working and Pastoral groups on Saturday and the Terrier and Hound groups on the Sunday. The event culminates with the announcement of the public vote for Friends for Life followed by the exciting Best in Show finale on Sunday evening.

Vanessa McAlpine, events executive at the Kennel Club, which organises the show, said: “Crufts brings together thousands of dogs and dog lovers from all around the world every year, celebrating the unique relationship humans have with dogs.”
