Dog lovers can enjoy a day of canine capers at Wick Country Park this weekend.
Families are invited to Paws in the Park being held at the beauty spot off Tresco Way in Wickford on Sunday 8 June. Owners can enter their four legged friends into a fun dog show with categories ranging from the scruffiest mutt to the cutest puppy.
The Billericay Dog Training School will also be putting their dogs and owners through their paces with an obedience and agility display.
Children can get creative with craft activities in the Pavilion and take part in a quiz which will get them exploring the park. There will also be a number of stalls and exhibits.
The event is being organised for the second year running by the Friends of the Wick Country Park, supported by Basildon Council.
It is aimed at promoting responsible dog ownership and encouraging people to get out and about, and enjoy their local park.
Admission is free and food and refreshments will be available. The event runs from 11am to 4pm, though keen dog walkers can join a dog ramble before the event from 10.30am to 11am. All dogs must be on a lead for this walk.
