Event organiser, Families and Community Engagement Minister at St Mary's, Suzette Aagaard, said: "As a huge dog lover, I was keen to bring a Dog Show to the heart of Warwick and would love to see a great turnout on Saturday.

"We will also have drinks and cakes on sale, as well as some dog-themed stalls. We have some great trophies to award and prizes for each category, kindly donated by local businesses
