A DOG show and family fun day has been organised for a town this summer.

Bosses at Whitworth Tourism and Leisure Committee, who have organised the event, have invited people to attend the summer holiday event.

It will include several attractions such as rides, stalls, live performances by local dancers, candy floss and ice cream.

A spokesman said: “Come along and bring all the family, even your pet.

“Join in with the fun - and you never know – the sun may even shine too.”

This year there are five different categories available to enter for £2 per dog per category.

The winners of each category will then be invited back for the Best in Show at 3.45pm where the pups compete for the star title.

It will be held at The Riverside, in Market Street, Whitworth on Sunday, July 8 from noon to 4pm.
