FROM Boxers to Beagles, Greyhounds to Golden Retrievers, all pups are welcome at St Clare Hospice’s 16th annual charity dog walk, taking place on Sunday 27th February.

Dozens of dogs of all shapes and sizes are set to take part in the Hospice’s sponsored 5km countryside walk, which raises more than £5,000 for the charity each year.

There will be doggy-friendly fun and games for all the family at the event, before the pooch parade sets off at 11.00am.

The Winter Walkies route starts at the Hospice, winding through the Essex countryside before returning. When you get back to the Hospice, you’ll be able to enjoy a cup of hot soup and a roll. And for the pooches? Dog rosettes and treats! Other refreshments will also be on sale.

Entry for Winter Walkies is £10 for adults and £5 for children. Or, £27.50 for a family of four. Every penny goes towards our vital palliative care and bereavement services for local people.

And don’t forget to join in with St Clare Hospice’s Cutest Canine competition on facebook and Instagram. The competition is open to all pooches taking part in the Hospice’s Winter Walkies.
