Crufts 2026

NEC, Hall 3, Stand 68

Visit the stand at the world's most famous dog show!

Crufts 2026 and the launch of a brand new stand layout in Hall 3-68. Pet portrait artist Christine Varley will be on the stand for the duration of the show with the WaggyDogz card and gift range. Painting dogs for over 35 years, commissions including Crufts champions, products for Harrods, promotions in the media alongside national celebrities, and even appearances in Coronation Street! With many exhibitions across the UK, Crufts is still the highlight of the year!

It's such a buzz… Exhibiting at Crufts is the best place to meet customers old and new, with their dogs, who are having a great time at the show. Every year the event gets more exciting and there's always such a fabulous atmosphere. We love bringing our new products to dog-lovers from around the world looking for their favourite breeds.

Bring your dogs for a free photo shoot for a pet portrait at Crufts, or bring your own photos to discuss your order.

If you are making a special journey to the show, please get in touch in advance.
