After 2years Ludlow Rotary Club’s Annual Dog Day is back again - but this year, in conjunction with Church Stretton Rotary Club, it’s bigger and better than ever!
Ludlow and Church Stretton Rotary Clubs are finally holding their 7th annual Dog Day (Covid permitting, this time!) Once more it is in the beautiful grounds of Stokesay Court, situated approximately 6 miles north of Ludlow and just off the A49.

The emphasis of the day is on fun for all the family, including our furry friends. You will be able to participate in over 20 classes from the scruffiest mutt, the fastest sausage eater, to the best young handler, up to the best in show. Throughout the day various demonstrations will take place with many past favourites including; The Paws for thought and the Paws of Parham display teams, Bliss Gate Obediance and West Glen Heelwork; Nick Burne Blood hounds and many more besides Plus new additions such as Bob Hogg’s Dog and Ducks – a popular draw wherever he and his ducks appear.

There are always a number of Have a go challenges, including dog agility, gun dog scurry and new for this year, fun dog racing.
As well as all the doggy events there are stalls selling canine related goods, a wide range of food stalls, and for those with a thirst there is the popular tea tent, Pimms’ tent and the Hobsons’ Bar.

As a result of the money raised over the last 6 years at the annual Ludlow Dog Day, Ludlow Rotary Club has been able to distribute over £120,000 to a range of charities and community organizations.

This years’ chosen charities are Hope House Children’s Hospices who provide care and support to life-limited children, young people and their families from Shropshire, Cheshire, and North and Mid Wales, St Michael’s Hospice, Hereford is dedicated to the support of patients affected by a terminal illness and their families and Ludlow Rotary Cares which is run annually by Ludlow Rotary Club and provides small grants to help local charities and organisations make a real difference in the community.

So, if you are looking for a wonderful day out in support of three very good causes, then join us on Sunday 24th July to celebrate our furry friends in all their glory amidst the glorious setting of Stokesay Court, For more information please go to www.ludlowdogday.org.uk
