Dogs and Daffs Day - March 16, 2025

It’s back! And it’s going to be bigger and better than before! Come and join us on March 16 at Hatfield House for our annual Dogs and Daffs Day in aid of Digswell Place Group Riding for Disabled Association.

Chairman of the Digswell Place Group RDA, Sue Clarke said: “This really is one of the highlights in our fund-raising calendar. The day really is fun from start to finish and we cannot thank everyone enough who supports it.

“We currently help over 100 people aged between 2 and 65 with a variety of disabilities from the local area. Riding helps core strength, balance, speech, coordination and socialisation. And it’s the support we receive from events like Dogs and Daffs which helps us to continue with this essential service.”

Digswell Place Group RDA has teamed up with Hatfield Park to hold its Dogs and Daffs Day on March 16, 2025. Money raised from previous events has funded specialist saddles, additional therapeutic rides and has also paid for a new field shelter and riding hats as well as a new pony.

During the Dogs and Daffs day walkers will be able to enjoy Hatfield Park exclusively for a small donation to the charity and dog lovers will be able to enter into a fun dog show with categories such as Most Handsome and Prettiest Bitch.

There will be agility, flyball and trick training displays plus scurry racing for visitors to take part in - again for a small donation to the charity.

Sue added: “This is a great opportunity for everyone to enjoy a fabulous family day out with their canine companions and help raise money for a local charity which works with local people.

“We have been overwhelmed by the support we have received over the last few years from visitors and event sponsors and look forward to another successful day in 2025.”

This year visitors will be able to buy early bird tickets online. Please visit the website to secure your reduced rate entry as well as finding out more about the event.
