Frome’s dog owners are invited to comment on provisional designs for canine play equipment and fencing for Frome Town Council at an event at Frome’s Old Showfield, on Saturday 17th August from 3pm to 5pm.
There will also be a free dog ‘parkour’ and hoopers activity, run by Charismatic Pets, and a pop-up pet shop with natural treats and chews. Every dog who participates will receive a rosette – participation matters more than aptitude for the purpose of this fun event.
Cllr Sara Butler-Bartholomew said “The Old Showfield is already very popular with Frome’s dog walkers and the response was really positive when we asked if people would like to see a dedicated dog area. What that means in practice is up for debate. The team have researched similar dog areas and taken advice, and we’d love to know what you think of the ideas so far. Come and view the drawings and ideas and tell us what you think would work best for you and your dog.”
Charismatic Pets ran a similar and very busy event in April on behalf of the town council. The event is weather dependent and will be rescheduled if the temperature isn’t dog friendly; interested parties are advised to check Frome Town Council social media for updates. The event runs from 3pm to 5pm on Saturday 17th August, in the back field at the Old Showfield.
