Millets Farm Fun Family Dog Show
Saturday 22nd April
Join us for our 10th family fun dog show. Our Dog Show is a free charity event in support of the Guide Dog's for the Blind Association and this year we are celebrating all things dogs and creating the ultimate doggy day out...
Dogs & Handlers can enter any of our 12 wagtastic classes for £3.50 with all proceeds being donated to The Guide Dogs. To celebrate our big 10 year anniversary our prizes will be bigger and better than ever before.
For those that are not dog owners then just come along for free and soak up the atmosphere as a spectator. Perhaps you are thinking of becoming a dog owner and want to see which breed is best for you – there will be lots of dogs woofing about!
With a variety of stalls, a demonstration from the best guide dogs in the country, music, BBQ & Refreshments Bar, it really is a day out not to be missed!
