Last year, a similar Mars Petcare led event at Melton County Park, ‘Pounds for Hounds,’ raised £2296 for Hounds for Heroes.
Organiser Pete Wakefield said: “This year’s charities were chosen by members of the public. We’ve moved the venue so that its closer to the heart of the town.
“Bring the family and bring your dogs and enjoy a fun day out for good causes.
“There’ll be a number of surprises and entry is free.”
