IF you're bored of walking your dog along the same tried and tested routes, why not try something new by taking part in a Dogathon?

Croome Park, near Pershore, is hosting the event on Sunday, April 20, in association with Evesham Dog's Trust.

Dog owners and their four-legged friends can tackle two trails, following clues to collect answers and win a bag of doggy biscuits. The trails through the 18th century park which was designed by Capability Brown, are self-guided and all proceeds will be split between the Dog's Trust and the National Trust-owned property.

Helen Colbourne, from the Dog's Trust, said: "With 150 dogs at Evesham's Dog's Trust, all money raised will go a long way to helping them. It will be a fun day out for all the family."

Activities will start at 10am and end at 3pm. Normal admission charges will apply and the trails cost £3 each.
