The Barkers Dog Arena will include Woodford Dog Training Club, Wilmslow Wild Dogs Flyball Team, Barkers Temptation Alley and a Fun Dog Show.

Show chairman Frank McCarthy said: "Since 2001, there has been a rapid increase in the appeal of the show with the introduction of major new attractions.

"The horticultural marquee still houses the flower, vegetable and craft competitions many of which are specifically aimed at local schoolchildren, but the now also presents a ‘fun dog show’ and a pre-1981 classic car show which has grown from an entry of 10 cars in 2002 to well over 200 by 2014."

This year's show has been brought forward in the calendar to encourage as many people as possible to attend before heading off on summer holiday.

He added: "We brought the day forward in order to enable pupils from more local schools to enter the many competitions, and attend the show before breaking up for their summer holidays.

"The show is the single largest annual community event in Wilmslow. It not only provides us with a focal point for our town, but allows many of the local voluntary and charitable bodies to raise funds and bring their presence and activities to the attention of the Wilmslow and wider community."
