This event is funded completely by a small local business with no grants or funding supplied which is why we charge an entry fee to cover the event and logistical costs of organising, planning and coordinating. The money we receive from our tickets are to cover all event expenses (marketing, advertisement, venue hire fees, suppliers, entertainment, infrastructure, printing, expenses and staffing hours, etc.). Our goal is to provide an affordable, high-quality event for the local community, highlighting local vendors, suppliers and local animal rescue centres while ensuring a successful and enjoyable experience for all involved.

This is your opportunity to connect with local animal rescues, offer support through food or monetary donations, and truly make a difference in the life of an animal in need.
