Pawprints in the Park at the Out of the Woods Festival

Cardiff Out of the Woods Festival
Sunday 22 August, 10.30am-4.30pm

Venue: Coopers Field, Bute Park

FREE entrance and all activities free

This is the annual woodland event for all the family organised by Cardiff Parks Department.

It features woodland arts and crafts, nature trails, paddling your own coracle, free fun dog show and many other fun activities. Locally crafted products will also be available and as an added bonus, you can enjoy a leisurely homemade treat at the Hardwood Café.

Free Fun Dog Show - judging from 12.30pm
No registration needed as its free so join in as many classes as you want - just go into the ring when the class you’re interested in is called.

Among all the out of the woods activities we will have our dog event all day with dog show itself in middle of the day - event will also include a few rescue stalls, animal welfare officer with Cardiff Council, SARDA and dog warden and his team who will also be microchipping for free (courtesy of Cardiff Council).

For those having stalls I will send you the details of how to get there and which entrance - its changed a little from last year

Plus please remember if going by car to the event that there are horrendous roadworks in the city that are clogging everything up so please allow enough time for this (even on a sunday as there may be other things going on in the city at the same time

(between 1st winners of other classes - so stick around till the end if you win anything in any of the other classes above)

There will be rosettes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd for each class and 1st only for Best in Show
If anyone wants to sponsor any of these classes they are quite welcome to - I can change the odd class to suit as well if needed


Also if anyone else wants a dog-related stall please ask - all stalls at the Out of the Woods event are not for profit so we will have to be in keeping with this idea.
