Professional standards
Structured classes, clear judging expectations and a strong welfare-first culture.
Welcome to Cymru Groom 2026
What began as a small grooming competition back in 2016 has grown into one of the UK's most exciting and welcoming grooming events, bringing together talented groomers, passionate dog lovers, leading industry brands and competitors from across the UK and beyond.
Cymru Groom is a celebration of creativity, skill, education and community within the professional dog grooming industry. Throughout the day you will see incredible transformations, precision scissoring, expert hand stripping, breed-standard styling and creative grooming, all performed by some of the industry's most talented groomers competing live.
Alongside the competition rings, visitors can enjoy a fantastic selection of trade stands showcasing the latest grooming products, equipment and accessories, as well as seminars, demonstrations and opportunities to connect with fellow professionals and friends from across the grooming world. Whether you are competing, supporting friends, shopping, learning or simply enjoying the atmosphere, we hope you have an amazing day with us at Cymru Groom 2026.
A huge thank you goes to all of our judges, sponsors, exhibitors, competitors, volunteers and supporters who continue to help Cymru Groom grow year after year. Without your support, events like this would not be possible.
We hope you enjoy the show and make plenty of unforgettable memories throughout the day. Welcome to Cymru Groom 2026 — where passion, creativity and the grooming community come together.
