Essex Dog Day is fun dog day with many classes, demonstrations and entertainments, opening to the public at 10.00am until 5.00pm on Bank Holiday Sunday 26th August 2012 in the beautiful grounds of Crix, Hatfield Peverel, a privately owned Georgian house accessed directly off the A12. It's easy to get to from all over Essex and parking is free.

There will be leading edge demonstrations and entertainments in the main show ring and loads of competitions in the two companion show rings, the lake and other competition areas with classes ranging from the finest pedigree dogs to canines with more endearing or amusing appeal together with many trade stands, 20 breed advisers, lots of food and refreshments and a celebrity or two. We have face painting, a bouncy castle and other special attractions for children too - this day is sure to be a day full of fun for all the family!
