Paws in the Park

Join us on 12 September for the first-ever Paws in the Park at Aire Park, a fun-filled day of activities for dogs and their owners to enjoy together.

Running from 11am to 4pm, the event will feature exciting agility runs alongside a programme of light-hearted competitions. Expect plenty of wagging tails as dogs compete for titles from Cutest Puppy to Golden Oldie.

Whether you’re entering your dog into the competitions or simply soaking up the atmosphere, Paws in the Park promises a lively day out for the whole family.

We’re delighted to welcome Dogs Trust to this year’s Paws in the Park event. Their team will be on hand throughout the day to chat with visitors about the incredible work they do to help dogs across the UK, both locally and nationally.

Find out how you can support their mission through the Sponsor a Dog programme and Lucky Pups Lotto, helping Dogs Trust provide care, rehabilitation and loving homes for thousands of dogs in need. Be sure to stop by their stand and learn more about the difference your support can make.
