BERNESE ON A BANK HOLIDAY!
Come & join us for Bernese & Bank Holidays on May Day Holiday weekend at Hollowell Steam Rally Field, Northants, NN6 8RB. If you have an interest in Bernese Mountain Dogs then this is the time to come & say hello & see what all the fuss is about. You can camp with us from Wednesday 30th April right through the bank holiday weekend until Tuesday 6th May.
On Friday 2nd May – join us for Dinner – not your average Camping Food!
Saturday 3rd May – we welcome you to a chill day where you can come & chat to us about anything Bernese – as it’s a chill day we will have more time to talk & introduce you to these most beautiful of creatures.
The carting ring will be open for all competitors to do their round but if you are wondering if your Bernese will like carting – come along – not all Bernese take to carting – some love it straight away, some take a little persuasion while other’s just so NOPE not doing THAT – what will your dog do?? We will also have Bernese grooming demo’s as well as other things going on. Saturday night we have another social evening with Monty The Pie Man supplying our tea.
Sunday 4th May is Garden Party Day & all things Bernese will be happening – novelty classes that all can enter, parades for puppies, golden oldies, rescues & We R Family – agility & obedience for all levels as well as carting & First Draft testing. Group breed talks will also take place throughout the day.
Sunday night we are spoiling you again with our Chippy Tea night.
Each night we will have fun, games, maybe bingo?, educational quizzes & even more fun with shouteokkee – it may not be everyone’s cup of tea but hey it’s great fun! Our award winning BernerShop will be open with lots of Bernese goodies & quality food & drink will be available during the day Saturday & Sunday.
So if you are wondering if this is the breed for you – come along & be prepared to fall in love!

Navigation guidance to the venue can be found here (N.B. If this is your first visit do not simply rely on Google maps to ‘Hollowell Steam Rally’ as this may take you nearby but not to the venue itself). The key thing is to get yourself onto Teeton Road between Guilsborough and Hollowell and you will find the signs accessing the show ground.
