Charity dog event returning to Kendal for a second year
A charity dog event is returning to Kendal for a second year.
The Woof and Wag event, organised by CancerCare, will take place at Abbot Hall Park on Saturday, August 30, offering a day of dog-friendly fun.
Running from 11am to 4pm, the event will feature games, stalls, entertainment and a dog show.
Lisa Oliver-Hannis, CancerCare's south lakes community fundraiser, said: "We are so excited to return to Kendal with Woof & Wag.
"We had the most incredible day 12 months ago and the event promises to be bigger and better this year.
"With stalls, games and a dog show judged by some local legends, there is something for all the family, especially the four-legged members."
The highlight of the day will be the dog show at 2pm, featuring categories such as best trick, waggiest tail and best in show.
Special guest judges will be announced on the day.
The event is free to attend, with a £2 entry fee per dog per show class.
Entries can be booked at
Woof and Wag is sponsored by Kendal-based Taylor Made Dog Centre, an award-winning doggy daycare provider.
Last year's event was described as a "roaring success" by CancerCare, which supports people affected by cancer, life-shortening illnesses and bereavement.
The café and facilities at the neighbouring Abbot Hall art gallery will be open to the public throughout the day.
The event is open to all dogs and their owners.
