How it works?
Held on the third Sunday of every month, you are welcome to join us with or without a dog. To keep everyone comfortable and safe, we only accept a maximum of 6 dogs per walk and you will need to book a ticket for each dog that you intend to bring. We meet in the car park inside the park, just of Shutlock Lane at 1pm for registration. The first part of the walk is on lead with well adjusted dogs being invited to be off lead thereafter. The route is generally flat with some parts moving away from designated pathways. Please wear appropriate footwear for muddy terrain.
This event is only open to individuals aged 18 years plus who identify as LGBTQIA+.
This event is free but donations are appreciated.
Funded by The National Lottery Community Fund
