Big dogs, medium dogs and teeny weeny ones too (I’ve never held an adult dog as small as that little Yorkie) it was such a joy to share the love. #Goodwoof
Celebrating the next face in The Icons Series — a trailblazer whose legacy has reshaped what it means to lead with conviction, clarity, and grace.
@clarebalding embodies everything The Icon Series honours in women of today.
“I am absolutely thrilled to be part of Holland Cooper’s Icon Series. Their pieces have become such a staple for me in broadcasting — they combine elegance and timeless style with real practicality, giving me the confidence I need in front of the camera. I also love that their tailoring is made here in the UK, with such attention to detail and quality.” — Clare Balding

A huge thank you to all those who have bought Pastures New, read it or listened to it and for your lovely reviews. Every one of you has helped it into the top 10 and therefore an official best seller! I am in shock (in a good way). THANK YOU #PasturesNew
@clarebalding returns to Goodwoof for 2026! 🐶🧡
Find her in Literary Corner on Saturday 16 May at 11:30am & Sunday 17 May at 2pm. A book signing will follow both readings. 🖊📚
Clare Balding has become an integral part of Goodwoof, whether she’s found hosting, leading the opening parade, or captivating an audience of dog lovers as she reads her own fantastic literature in Literary Corner.
“Goodwoof is the best dog festival in the land with so much going on and loads of free advice. It’s a beautiful setting with a gorgeous, warm atmosphere — perfect for dogs and people.” — @clarebalding
If Clare Balding is the national test for whether or not something is classified as a great British event, we’re inclined to believe her 👀
I had the absolute privilege to witness sporting history over the weekend. I wish more news outlets had recognised the scale of the achievement but the beauty of social media is that we can spread the story far and wide. Ros Canter and Lordships Graffalo were simply flawless at Badminton in winning for a third time. It’s rare but when you see sporting perfection it is simply magical. Congratulations to Ros and to Walter. #Badminton #SportingHistory #Flawless (and yes, she has the most appropriate surname in the equestrian world - the headlines literally write themselves)
Incredible weather for a hike with the volunteers from the British Mountaineering Council’s ‘Mend our Mountains’ team… #BMC #mendourmountains #tryfan #eryri #ramblings
What a day on Anglesey! Such a popular place, busy even on a term time weekday. And no wonder it’s so beautiful. #ramblings #anglesey #bbcradio4 #bbcsounds #visitwildwales
Best foot forward at the British Airways Flying Start Gala in aid of Comic Relief. Lovely to spend an evening with @mrantondubeke@shirleyballas and @josierones all raising money for a great cause.
Five contestants and their canine companions think they’re taking part in a brand-new dog competition, but @clarebalding and the saboteurs have other ideas 😘 Celebrity Sabotage continues Saturday at 8pm on ITV1, STV and ITVX
