Dog Events In London This Month November 2018

Join the Sighthound Sundays group for their regular monthly walk, this one being the Sighthound Sundays Walk November edition on Sunday 4th November.

All dogs in the Sighthound family are welcome on the Sighthound Sundays Walk plus any little companion pals and is open to humans who are also looking to test drive a sighthound too.

The group will be meeting at the usual spot, opposite the Dogs of Alcibiades statue and by the farmers market (Bonners Gate side) so you can grab a coffee.

Please can puppies and small sighthounds gather on the other side of the dogs of Alcibiades statue (inside the park, off the public path) and large sighthounds opposite on the grass. You will have a walk leader (or two) for each group with the young ones heading off first. This way we keep the public paths clear while we wait.
