Welcome back for our 2nd Barnham Barkfest. Last year we were blessed with sunshine and so many visitors, this year we have another fabulous day out planned.
From a fun dog show to the indoor arts & crafts market, 50+ trade stalls, "Have A Go Hoopers" with your dog, community hall art gallery & tea room plus a wide variety of tasty hot and cold refreshments and freshly cooked food options there is something for everyone from 10.30am until 4pm.
Best of all, there is no charge to attend. Child and dog friendly (please keep dogs on lead)
We're pleased to welcome back many faces from last year and introduce you to lots of other local businesses and talent including Pitch & Strut DJ who will be comparing the show and playing a range of vibes to entertain you throughout the day.
Our chosen charity this year is West Sussex Mind. Their important work includes outreach to ensure those who most need them feel able to ask for help.
In addition we have several animal charities joining us this year including Clymping Dog Sanctuary, and The Cat & Rabbit Rescue and Reystede Center for Animal Welfare.
WADARS will be giving pet and wildlife advice for attendees.
