2026 SWAT shows
A season Camping Pass for all the SWAT Shows in 2026 (14 nights) for £217. The primary benefit is to ensure you don't miss out on a camping space. No more rushing to book the minute the schedule is released! But you also get a reduced rate, saving £28 compared to booking each show separately. Of course you still need to remember to enter the show before the closing date.
Camping nights Included:
May 22nd - 24th (3 nights)
July 30th - August 3rd (5 Nights)
August 27th - 30th (4 nights)
September 18th and 19th (2 nights)
If you are unable to attend the show, you may sell on your space but you must tell SWAT (by email) of the change.
To purchase a Camping Pass follow the link below. This will take you to SWAT Shows's Bookwhen page where you should select 2026 SWAT Shows Season Camping Pass (at the bottom of the list).
The SWAT Steeplechase is sponsored by K9 Meals on Wheels and organised by SWAT Shows. Selling more than food and meals, K9 Meals on Wheels also stock natural treats, Riaflex, dry robes, baFery packs, and cooling fans. You can find K9 Meals on Wheels at SWAT Shows throughout the summer.
The SWAT Steeplechase is for dogs Grade 1 to 3 with separate competitions for each height. Finals for each competition will take place at the SWAT May 2027 Open Agility Show, after rings have closed on the Saturday.
Heats will take place at the SWAT Winter Indoor Shows. All grades will compete against each other with the top two from each heat being invited to the Final on Saturday 29th May.
A dog can qualify only once for the Final although a handler may qualify with more than one dog. If the winner has already qualified, the invitation will be extended to the next placed dog/handler. Only the qualifying handler and dog may compete at the final (ie there cannot be a change of handler).
In the event that the qualifying dog/handler is unable to attend the Final, the invitation may be extended to another pair at SWAT Shows’ discretion.
All heats and the Final are classified as Special classes by the Royal Kennel Club. They are held under KC Rules and Show Regulations H & H1 as in force at the date of the competition. If there is any dispute over the rules, the decision of SWAT Shows will be final.

2026 finals
The top two teams from each heat (at each height) will be invited to attend Finals day on Saturday 29 August 2026. Finals will run alongside the normal SWAT Late August show and judging for Finals will commence at 10:00am. The top two teams from each height will then compete against each other for first and second place in the Grand Finals which will run after all rings have closed for the day.
The show is set in a specified 40 acres so there is plenty of space for exercising your dog. However, this is a working farm so please obey all signs indicating areas that are out of bounds. Failure to do so will mean you will be asked to leave the venue.
There are ditches on the field boundaries so please be responsible for your dogs and children.
The farm is in the middle of the countryside. While there is no organised shoot in the vicinity we cannot guarantee complete quiet. There may be some shooting or bird-scarers operating.
