Dog lovers and their furry friends visited CancerCare’s inaugural Woof & Wag held at Abbot Hall Park in Kendal for the ultimate doggy day out.

The event raised over £900 for the local charity that supports people affected by cancer and bereavement across North Lancashire and South Cumbria.

Visitors were treated to glorious sunshine and there was something for all the family with doggy stalls, a tombola, raffle, face-painting, ice-cream and a doggy soft play area run by Taylor Made Dog Centre.

Judges were the Mayor of Kendal Councillor Jonathan Cornthwaite, AlannaFest organiser Katie Duffy and CancerCare CEO Alison Stainthorpe. The judging culminated in the overall best in show accolade which was awarded to Nova.
