Welcome to the National Fox Terrier Meet
NFTM is an annual event organised by me - Tina Bailey. The National Fox Terrier Meet brings together social media-based Fox Terrier Lovers & families passionate about the Smooth and Wire Fox Terrier breed. The Event offers a great opportunity to meet up in person whilst enjoying a great day out. We also have a loyal following and extend a warm welcome to Airedale, Lakeland, Welsh Terriers and many other wet noses and wagging tails.
The 8th NFTM on Sat 28.06.25 sees a return to our “new” venue at Kenslow Farm Campsite. This venue has received much positive feedback with people enjoying the relaxed atmosphere. We will continue to add hand picked stalls who are right and useful for our audience, something we were prohibited to do at Chatsworth but can fully enjoy at this site.
Kenslow Farm Campsite is nestled within the beautiful Derbyshire Dales. The site itself is suited for caravans, motorhomes and tents and in addition there is plentiful dog friendly accommodation in the surrounding area. Plus, nearby attractions like Hardwick Hall, Haddon Hall or Chatsworth make this a tempting place for people to plan a holiday around the event.
Fundraising is a big part of the NFTM and after deductions, all money raised benefits Fox Terrier Rescue UK. This rescue is dedicated to help both Smooth and Wire Fox Terriers in need. The Meets hopefully also raise awareness of the Fox Terrier breeds, especially the Smooth Fox Terrier, which is classified as a vulnerable native breed in the UK.

An insight into our wonderful NFTM Volunteer Team.
The original five - Phillipa Coleman, co-host of the 1st NFTM, Billy Brown, Carol Canty, Holly Anderson, and I, are now a group of around 20 including my brilliant husband. Jane Mason oversees First Aid. Fiona Wilson takes care of Canine First Aid. In addition, Fiona compiles a wonderful display of FTR UK dog stories from starting out in rescue to their happy ever after life with their new families. Julie Liston helps fundraise for event staging costs via her sought after grooming workshops and manages the wonderful Foxy Hub. Julie gives advice on general care and well-being of your fox terrier especially coat care. The team offer everything from photography, check in, car parking to litter picking. Without the volunteers the day simply would not and could not happen. A big thank you to all of them always.
The 8th NFTM Sat 28.06.25
Please arrive from 9am onwards and make your way to registration/check in. The grass will be cut approx. 2 weeks prior to our meet, so will be comfortable underfoot. The location is suitable for prams and mobility scooters. Please note that we are no longer able to organise a formal walk. However, a complete circuit of the field parameter will take approx. 30 minutes. We look forward to walking this together and everyone is welcome to join in.
We will bring back our very popular “have a go agility course”, and are planning a “have a go terrier racing event” so all dogs will find plenty to do. You can bring a picnic or enjoy our food stall provisions. Close to the human and canine first aid posts you will find a village like atmosphere of stalls. Here you will be able to meet Lee England of FTR UK, visit the Fox Terrier Rescue UK Dog Story Display, the Foxy Hub, Raffle, Cup Cake Stall, Handicraft Stall and much much more.
