A DOG show staged by the charitable arm of restaurant chain Mowgli Street Food is back this weekend to raise vital funds for Claire House.
Described as 'the hottest four-legged family event of the year', The Mowgli Trust Dog Show takes place at Claremont Farm on Old Clatterbridge Road, Bebington on Saturday and Sunday (June 3 and 4).
Now in its fifth year, it will be hosted by Jonny Bongo of Bongo's Bingo and Adam Weighell of Heart Radio.
On the opening day, there will be 10 canine competitions, local food, drink, and craft vendors. The day will end with live sundowner acoustic sets from 4pm-8pm, to enjoy with family and friends.
On day two, there will be 10 canine competitions, local food, drink, and craft vendors, including agility demonstrations and have-a-go sessions.
Last year's event raised more than £72,000 for the hospice.
The Mowgli Trust was created by founder and chief executive of Mowgli Street Food restaurants, celebrity chef Nisha Katona.
Charitable giving sits are the heart of the business and enables Mowgli to give back to the communities she serves.
