Bring your pampered pooch to St Columba’s sponsored dog walk at Inverleith Park, with a dog show, agility course, doggy manicures and lots more!
The Bark in the Park event to raise funds for St Columba’s Hospice has been rescheduled. The doggie extravaganza was due to take place on 29 July, but following the summer deluge the event had to be postponed. However organisers have set a new date for Bark in the Park and it will now take place on Sunday 26 August at Inverleith Park.
Edinburgh’s four legged friends are invited to put their best paw forward and come along to Bark in the Park on Sunday 26 August – a doggy-themed day out at Inverleith Park in aid of St Columba’s Hospice.
Registration from 9.30am
Wufts dog show starts at 10.30am
Activities run from 10am – 1pm
Dog walk starts at 11am.
As well as a sponsored dog walk around the park, there will be lots of extra activities guaranteed to get tails wagging. Back again, after its ‘barking’ success last year is the ‘Wufts’ dog show, judged by experienced judge and breeder Fiona McKinlay.
Owners who think their canine is Crufts material have a chance of walking away with one of five prizes:
Most Handsome Dog
Waggiest tail
Best Six Legs
Best small dog
Best large dog
For playful pups there will also be an agility course to try out, while for more pampered pooches, doggy manicures and grooming will be available.
Entry costs just £7.50 per dog in advance or £10 on the day and St Columba’s requests that all entrants try to raise at least £25 sponsorship. Entry to the Wufts dog show competition is £5 per dog. So come along for a great day out and give your pampered pooch a real treat!
