The Great British Bark Off will get underway at the Bandstand at 12pm with live music to follow from 1pm.

You can tuck into some tasty treats from local food stalls and even make a dog accessory for your pet at the Doggy Style stall with Made in Ashford.

Local food businesses will be contributing cakes to the bake-off where judges will sort the light and fluffy from the soggy bottoms.

If you're a local food business or simply proud of your baking skills, then now's your chance to really show what you’ve got by entering The Great British Bark Off cake competition.

Who knows, you could be one of the winners and that really would be the cherry on the cake!

Simply email your details to loveashford@ashford.gov.uk if you’re interested in taking part in the cake competition.

With wagging tails at the ready, the dog show will take place between 2pm and 3pm.
