Bring Your Dog to Radnor Hunt Concours Saturday — September 12

Day two of Malvern's concours weekend. If Friday's road rally was the warm-up, Saturday is when the grounds at Radnor Hunt fill in.

What It Is

Radnor Hunt Concours d'Elegance — Saturday Events takes place Saturday, September 12, 2026 at Radnor Hunt, 826 Providence Rd, Malvern, PA 19355. Start times run per the official schedule rather than a single posted hour, so check the organizer's schedule page for Saturday's specific programming and ticketing.

That is genuinely all the listing commits to for Saturday, and we are not going to invent a lineup to fill space. What we can tell you is that this is the middle day of a 29-year-old concours weekend in one of the prettiest corners of Chester County, and it is a fifteen-minute drive for most of the western suburbs.

The Dog Question

Same note as the rest of the weekend, and it matters more here: Country setting; dog policy varies by day. Confirm with organizers.

Read varies by day carefully. Saturday is not Friday. A rally day where cars leave the grounds is a different environment from a day with programming and spectators on site, and organizers often set different rules for each. Contact the Radnor Concours organizers about Saturday specifically, and ask about ticketed areas too. A yes for the grounds is not automatically a yes everywhere on them.

If Dogs Are Welcome

The setting works in your favor. Open country, grass underfoot instead of blacktop, and room to stand somewhere other than the middle of a crowd. That is a much kinder day for a dog than a paved show field in direct sun.

• Six-foot fixed leash. No retractables anywhere near cars or crowds.
• Water you carry. Collapsible bowl, offered often, not just when your dog looks thirsty.
• Find shade first. Pick your spot before you settle in, not after your dog starts panting.
• Test the ground. Any paved paths get the five-second hand check before paws touch them.
• High-value treats. New smells, engines, and strangers all compete for attention. Our freeze-dried treats are single-ingredient and do not crumble into someone's carpet or car.
• Bags, plenty. Leave the grounds better than you found them. That is how dogs stay welcome at events like this.

Show Field Etiquette

Concours cars are museum pieces that happen to be outdoors. Keep a wide berth, never let a leash swing near a panel, and do not let your dog greet other dogs across a display lane. If your dog is unsettled by crowds or cannot pass a stranger without pulling, this is the wrong day for them, and there is no shame in that.

The one absolute: never leave your dog in a parked car. A September afternoon will turn a closed car dangerous faster than most people expect, cracked windows or not.

Build the Rest of the Day

You are in Malvern, which means good trails and dog-friendly patios are minutes away. The Dog Adventure Plotter is built for exactly this, stringing an event, a bite, and a walk into one route so the day works for both of you.

Doing the full weekend? The Friday road rally is listed separately, and Concours Sunday has its own entry on the Events Board.
