Hounds on the Heath is taking place on July 16 from 11am-4pm on the cricket pitch opposite Parliament Hill Café.

Actor and animal activist Peter Egan, TV vet Marc Abraham, Poldark actress Beatie Edney, TV presenter Anneka Svenska, KISS FM DJ Pandora Christie and TV presenter Danni Menzies are confirmed as judges.

Dogs will be able to compete in categories including “Sweetest Staffie”, “Most Gorgeous Girl”, “Best Looking Boy” and “Best Rescue.”

The Mayhew is partnering with the Heath’s Give It A Go festival on the same day.

Throughout the day there are also a raffle and tombola, stalls, games and activities.

All proceeds will go towards the animal charity, based in Trenmar Gardens, Kensal Rise, helping more dogs and cats in need.
