Popular ‘Barket’ Dog Market due to be hosted at Marshall’s Yard with Crufts-style competition
7 May 2024
The popular ‘Barket’ Dog Market event will be hosted at Marshall’s Yard in what promises to be the ‘ultimutt’ treat for your four-legged friends.
A Crufts-style competition will take centre stage at the event, which
will be hosted at the popular Gainsborough-based shopping centre for the first
time, after previously being staged in the town centre.
In addition to the dog show, there will be more than 18-themed dog
stalls, selfie photo area, a chance to make your own ‘paw-trait’, doggy treats,
free face-painting - sponsored by Bomead (McDonald’s)
- and food stalls.
The Barket will be taking place close to The Works store and is held in
partnership with Jerry Green Dog Rescue, at the Gainsborough-based shopping
centre on Saturday, May 18, from 10am to 4pm.
Mel Cutforth, Assistant Centre Manager at Marshall’s Yard, said: “We
can’t wait to host this exciting pet-friendly event, which always proves
popular in the community.
“It promises to be a great day out both for dog owners and your furry
friends.
“There will be a great range of stalls, entertainment and of course you
will get the chance to see who is crowned top dog!”
Categories
