Last year’s CHF-sponsored Chiswick House Dog Show took place on Sunday 25th September, and the Dog Show Organising Committee planned the event.

It was the 18th Chiswick House Dog Show and, judging by the previous year’s show, has certainly earned the title of “Biggest Dog Show in London”. Despite COVID restrictions, it was a HUGE success and resulted in us donating £10K to CHGT, these funds being earmarked for the maintenance and safety of trees in the grounds, and for the recycling of dog waste.

The Dog Show is an opportunity for all those who use and love Chiswick House and its grounds to give something back by being part of a fun – and FREE – community day out!

Every year, it takes around 170 volunteers to put on this event, and we are (again) sending out a call for volunteers (aged from 9 to 90!) who would like to help by offering to do a two-hour stint on the day. These shifts are many and varied – for example, you could help on the Registration Desk, or in one of the show rings as a steward or photographer, or serving on the Bar, or even shaking a collecting bucket!

To find out more about volunteering at the show, visit www.chiswickhousedogshow.org.uk Or contact Caroline Starkey (our Co-ordinator) at: volunteer@chiswickhousedogshow.org.uk
