Scrufts is a brilliantly bonkers family activity where kids create their very own creatures out of junk, scraps and recycled treasures — then parade them around a Crufts-style arena for all to admire. Expect wild inventions, wagging cardboard tails, googly-eyed creatures and plenty of proud handlers, with prizes to be won for the most magnificent mutts, beasts and mystery species. Creative, chaotic and full of festival fun. Sign up here.
