UPDATE: The highly anticipated Christmas Dachshund Extravaganza is back, promising a day of festive cheer for dachshund lovers at Alderford Lake in Whitchurch on November 30. The event will run from 10:30 AM to 4 PM, and it’s gearing up to be bigger and better than ever!
Prepare for a celebration like no other as hundreds of sausage dogs are expected to take over the picturesque setting. Attendees can look forward to a delightful day filled with walking around the scenic lake, exploring an array of dog-related stalls, and participating in exciting competitions. Last year’s event attracted more than 600 attendees from across the country, and organizers are hoping to surpass that number this year.
Organized by Michelle Evans, the extravaganza features numerous photo opportunities and a dog-friendly café. Highlights include meeting ‘Santa Paws’ in a festive grotto and enjoying complimentary ‘puppuccinos’. The event will also host a fancy dress competition and a charity raffle with fantastic prizes to be won.
Last year, the event not only provided fun but also made a significant impact by raising over £4,000 for local charities. Proceeds from ticket sales will again benefit Dedicated to Dachshunds with IVDD, a charity dedicated to supporting dachshunds suffering from intervertebral disc disease. Additionally, the raffle will contribute to Dachshund Rescue UK, which will also have a presence at the event.
“We are really looking forward to it. Last year we had more than 600 attendees, so we are hoping to beat that this year!”
Michelle added, “We can only raise money for dachshund charities with your help, so a huge thank you for your support. If you would like to donate a prize for our raffle, please get in touch.”
Tickets for the Christmas Dachshund Extravaganza are available online now. Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to celebrate the holiday season with your four-legged friend while supporting worthy causes!
As excitement builds, be sure to mark your calendars for this unmissable event. Expect a day filled with joy, community, and, of course, adorable dachshunds!
