Highgate Fair has dog tricks up its sleeve
THE hugely popular dog show is set to return again to Highgate’s Fair In The Square’ summer festivities.
The contest is likely to bring a smile to spectators’ faces with categories such as dog with the waggiest tail, performer of the best trick and best junior handler in fancy dress.
Russell Hatton, of PetVet in Highgate, one of the main sponsors, said: “Highgate is a very doggie place and this year we have moved the show to St Michael’s Church forecourt to enable more dogs to enter and extend the judging time.
‘‘The show is always great fun for the dogs, owners and spectators.”
This year’s fair will be held on June 18 in Pond Square and the surrounding streets.

There will also be roundabout rides, face painting, storytellers and Punch and Judy shows for the hundreds of children expected to attend.
