Sophie Brown, sales and events manager at Raby Estates, said: "Raby’s Bark in the Park has really grown in popularity over the years and it’s wonderful to see so many dogs and their owners return every September, as well as welcoming new four-legged friends each year.
"The relationship between humans and dogs is precious, and our event provides a fantastic opportunity for dog-lovers to spend a fun day out with their furry best friend, leaving their cares at home and simply enjoying the great outdoors together."
