Colne Market Hall to host fun-filled summer Dog Show

Colne Market Hall is set to host a spectacular summer Dog Show that promises to be a fantastic day out for the whole community on Sunday, August 2nd.

The event, which runs from 11:00am-16:00pm, will celebrate the venue's dog-friendly status while raising vital funds for local rescue charity, Pendle Dogs Home. The market will be transformed into a lively hub of canine celebrations and visitors will be able to enjoy a day out with various fundraising activities set up by Pendle Dogs Home, who will also be hosting a bucket collection to support their incredible rescue and rehoming efforts across the region.

The highlight of the day is the fun and inclusive dog competition, open to all breeds and personalities. Whether they pre-register or just turn up on the day, owners can enter their pets into a variety of fun categories, including Best Dressed, Most Talented, Owner Lookalike, Most Human, Golden Oldie, Waggiest Tail and Best Rescue Dog.

The competition will then end in the crowning of the Overall Winner, a special title awarded to the dog the judges would most like to take home.

Elaine Whittingham, Market Hall Manager at Colne Market Hall, said: "We want everyone in the community to come down, bring their dogs, and have a brilliant time. This Dog Show is all about having fun and celebrating the fact that Colne Market Hall is a welcoming, dog-friendly destination. We are so proud to partner with Pendle Dogs Home for this event, and we hope the community will join us in raising lots of money for the amazing work they do for local animals."

Registration opens at 11:00 am and runs until 13:00 pm. The event will commence at 13:30pm and concludes at 15:30pm, followed by the winner announcements at 3:45 pm, before the event wraps up at 4:00 pm.
