Run in partnership with Liberty's Pet Services, the event on Saturday, September 4, will include a kids' zone and a selection of street food vendors and bars on site, as well as expert veterinary surgeons on hand to provide animal first aid courses and demonstrations on animal care.
The festival will also host a canine shopping village with trade stalls from local businesses including Deal Doggies Bake House, Pretty Paws Dog Grooming, Ruby Ruffs Doggy Deli, 7 Pet Pack UK, Ease in Motion, Chadds Creations, Dizzy’s Dog Food, Treat Tastic, Snow Paws, Beauty Fun, Barney’s Doggy Bakery, Little Pink Dog Collars, Pawzavity and Maddie Moos.
Head of the park, Stuart O’Leary, said: “We are extremely excited to open our doors to host our first PawFest event in September. We have worked closely with the team at Liberty’s Pet Services to create a fun and educational event that coaches owners about the wellbeing of canines."
Ticket holders can also win £500 of vouchers to spend on a dog-friendly staycation in Norwich with East Rutton Cottages.
