Even without the dog show, this will still be a fun day out for all the family and there will be lots of things going on, with a great line up of live music, entertainment stands, food & drink stalls, local crafters and more. Heales Cycles and Woodford Rugby Club will also have pitches with free activities for children.
This year the event will include:

If you bring a water bottle or flask you will be able to fill it up from the tap in the compound behind Humphry’s Café.
Please try and walk to the event, as car parking in the stretch of The Charter Road between Falmouth Avenue and Tamworth Avenue will be suspended on the day to prevent traffic congestion and vehicle access to Tamworth Avenue will be closed to non-residents.
