Run by The Kennel Club Educational Trust, the building is a centre of educational excellence for dogs and their owners, and supports the charity's aim of educating the public about dogs and responsible ownership.

- AGMs
- Dog training
- Dog shows and competitions
- Companion dog shows and charity events
- Educational seminars
Both the office and on-site caretaker are on hand to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible.
