New Forest Frenchie Fest is back at Exbury Club for Easter weekend 2025

French bulldog owners are in for a real treat this Easter as a festival returns to the Forest.

After the success of the inaugural News Forest Frenchie Fest last year – where all things French bulldog are on offer – the charity event is returning “bigger and better”.

The gathering at Exbury Club, which will raise funds for Mast Cell Action, was a sell-out last September and organisers are confident it will be just as popular this year.

Celebrating the popular breed, the New Forest Frenchie Fest Easter Extravaganza will have lots of activities, contests and surprises for pets and their owners to enjoy.

Stalls, Easter-themed games, agility courses and an Easter egg hunt will provide hours of fun.

Those who do not own a French bulldog are also welcome, and kids go free.

All profits will go to Mast Cell Action which provides support for sufferers of mast cell disease which can cause intense episodes of swelling, shortness of breath, hives, stomach upsets and other symptoms.

In severe cases, it can lead to life-threatening anaphylaxis. It’s caused by mast cells mistakenly alerting the immune system that there’s something harmful in the body.

Early bird tickets for the fest which is on 19th and 20th April at the club in Summer Lane, Exbury are on sale for £8.50, while standard tickets are £10 available at https://frenchiefest.co.uk/tickets/
