Mowgli dog show returns with food, drink and funfair

Mowgli Street Food's popular dog show is returning this summer for a weekend of food and fun.

Organisers of the event are gearing up for this year’s show at Claremont Farm, Bebington – and your pooch can be at the heart of it when the gates open on June 1 and 2.

Families can enjoy a weekend of 10 canine competitions and demonstrations, as well as food and drink and interesting craft stalls. The Saturday evening will feature live music.

There will also be children’s activities, animal petting, a funfair, and inflatables to keep the little ones entertained – all for a good cause. The Mowgli show arena will be hosted by Adam Weighell from Heart Radio.

Tickets are now on sale for the two-day event, which raises vital funds for seriously and terminally ill children and their families via Claire House Hospice.

Founder Nisha Katona said the family-friendly dog show, which is now in its sixth year, enables Mowgli to give back to the community. She said: "The Mowgli Dog Show is my favourite day of the year. I launched the dog show to bring my passions together: the work of the Claire House Children’s Hospice, good food and the joy that our pets bring to our daily life.

"If we can weave this all together – family, food, four-legged friends – then that's the spirit of Mowgli in a nutshell, to enrich the lives of the cities we live in and Merseyside is my home turf."

Every penny of profits from the event will go to Claire House.

Dan Halliday, Corporate Fundraising Manager at Claire House, said: “The Mowgli Dog Show is such a fantastic event for Claire House Children’s Hospice to be a part of.

“Not only does it raise an incredible amount of much needed money year on year for our children and their families, but the awareness it generates within our community is incredible. Being able to get the Claire House name out to such a large audience has a huge ripple effect across the region.

“We can’t thank Nisha and the whole Mowgli family enough for the passion and energy it takes to make such a wonderful family event and for making a real difference to the lives of so many children who need us most.”
