A Day Out for Dog Lovers

We're incredibly excited to welcome you to our first fundraising event of 2026 - and to a brand-new venue for Bliss Cavalier Rescue.

When our team first visited Belton Park Pavilion, we immediately fell in love with it. The beautiful setting, spacious grounds and fantastic facilities made it the perfect location for a relaxed summer event for both people and dogs.

One of the things we love most is that, unlike some of our previous events, we're covered whatever the British weather decides to do! With both indoor and outdoor space available, we'll be able to enjoy the day come rain or shine. Of course, we're hoping for sunshine and a chance to spread out on the grass, surrounded by happy dogs, good food and great company.

We're also introducing some exciting new additions this year. We're currently finalising details of our new picnic boxes, which will be available to pre-order, alongside improved hot food options, drinks, cakes, snacks and other refreshments throughout the day. There will even be doggy ice creams and treats available for our four-legged visitors.

As well as the popular fun dog show, you'll find stalls, games and activities where you can win prizes, plus our auction, raffle and tombola packed with fantastic items to bid on and win.

We're especially excited to welcome our event photographer, who is creating a fabulous beach-themed photography area where you can capture some fun and memorable photos of your dogs during the day.

Whether you're entering the dog show, browsing the stalls, enjoying lunch with friends or simply spending time with fellow dog lovers, Pawty at the Pavilion promises to be a fantastic afternoon for the whole family.

Every ticket helps Bliss Cavalier Rescue continue its work supporting Cavaliers in need, and we can't wait to welcome you.

You'll also have the chance to take part in our raffle, auction and tombola, with all proceeds helping Bliss Cavalier Rescue continue its work supporting Cavaliers.
