Our Volunteers

Our wonderful volunteers

Crufts simply couldn’t happen without our incredible volunteers. Every year, hundreds of dedicated people give their time, energy and enthusiasm to help make the world’s greatest celebration of dogs run smoothly. From stewarding in the show rings and helping exhibitors, to guiding visitors and supporting our events team behind the scenes, our volunteers are at the very heart of Crufts.

Their commitment and kindness help create the friendly, welcoming atmosphere that Crufts is known for. Whether it’s offering reassurance to a first-time competitor, keeping things running to time, or lending a hand wherever it’s needed, our volunteers make an extraordinary difference – and they do it all with a smile (and usually a few treats in their pockets).

We’re incredibly proud of the passion, teamwork and love of dogs that our volunteers bring to the event each year. They’re the unsung heroes who help turn four days at the NEC into an unforgettable experience for exhibitors, visitors and viewers around the world.
