Less Than One Month until Suffolk Dog Day Returns!

13 August 2024

There is less than one month to go until the region’s much-loved Suffolk Dog Day returns.

Hosted by St Elizabeth Hospice, the event which celebrates man’s best friend will be held at Helmingham Hall on Sunday 8th September.

Sponsored by Gladwells Pet & Country Store and Skinners, Suffolk Dog Day 2024 will feature a range of fun dog classes, dog agility and scurry activities, as well as over 50 stalls full of doggy goodies, Crufts’ style competitions, children’s entertainment and plenty of food and drink stalls for attendees to enjoy.

James Fox-Golding, Events and Challenges Manager at St Elizabeth Hospice, said: “We cannot wait for Suffolk Dog Day to arrive and we are sure it will be an event which will have tails wagging in approval.

“Suffolk Dog Day is such a staple of the Suffolk calendar and it is a fantastic opportunity to join with supporters, and the local community, to celebrate our love for our four-legged friends, while raising funds for our vital services.”

Valuable funds raised by Suffolk Dog Day 2024 will go towards the work of St Elizabeth Hospice. An independent charity, which every year delivers specialist palliative care to more than 4,000 people living with a progressive or life-limiting illness, and their families, throughout East & Mid Suffolk, Great Yarmouth & Waveney.

Annually this service costs around £12 million to deliver, with 70% of these funds being generated by the local community’s support of the hospice’s income streams, for example retail shops, events – such as Suffolk Dog Day, individual fundraising as well as gifts in Wills and donations.
