Exhibitors – Tips for the Weekend

The countdown is on, with less than a week to go! With nearly 16,000 entries, 366 breeds, and participants from 64 countries, an unforgettable dog-filled weekend awaits at Stockholmsmässan. We've gathered some important tips to help make your visit smoother and even more enjoyable.

Plan your journey and Parking in advance

European Dog Show 2026 and Swedish Winner Show 2026 are expected to attract large numbers of visitors, which means parking areas may become busy. If possible, we recommend that you:

Travel by public transport
Share a ride with fellow exhibitors
Book a dog-friendly taxi
Arrive well in advance

For those travelling by motorhome or camper van, a limited number of daytime parking spaces are available at the Örby parking area.

Find the right Entrance and bring the vaccination certificate

There are two entrances to the venue: the Main Entrance and the East Entrance. We recommend checking the ring map to see which entrance is closest to your judging ring. Please remember:

Your exhibitor number serves as an admission ticket for one person and one dog throughout the weekend.
Vaccinations will be checked upon entry.
Accompanying persons and dogs that are not entered in the show require their own admission tickets.

Please read the show information carefully. The latest versions are available online:

Leave your equipment on Thursday

To make things easier for exhibitors travelling by public transport or those who prefer not to carry all their equipment on the day of the show, a dedicated storage area will be available from Thursday and throughout the weekend. You may leave items such as:

Crates
Chairs
Other equipment

Please note that the storage area is unattended.

Need deworming before returning home?

For exhibitors whose dogs require deworming before travelling home, deworming services will be available on site at designated times. Please remember to:

Dog Welfare comes first

Never leave your dog in a hot car
Always keep your dog under supervision
Put your dog's wellbeing first
