On Sunday 29th June in Walton Hall Park, the biggest and most inclusive free animal rescue event is coming to Liverpool! RescueFest, hosted by animal charity, People’s Animal Welfare Society, will feature dog shows, many different animals, talks, demonstrations, street food, artisan markets, a fun fair and more — with a huge vegan friendly emphasis.
In addition to everything going on at the event, there will be lots of vegan and vegan friendly stalls including face painting by Diamonrox using vegan face paints, Erin’s Artistry selling flatbreads and baklava, Luna Tree selling fair trade jewellery and Tipsy Badger with upcycled bags and accessories.
Taylors Artisan Free From Bakers & Pie Makers are a vegan and gluten free bakery and there’ll also be vegan street food from The Plant Based Chippy and Seitan’s Kebabs. Plus there’ll be lots more vegan friendly stalls like Coco Baroque selling a selection of vegan chocolates.
RescueFest offers fun for the whole family with a wide range of attractions. A huge market will cater to the shopaholics with local business selling pet products, tasty treats, art, fashion, and lots more. Capture the day’s memories with photo opportunities alongside animal themed mascots and some real-life animals.
Watch the incredible skill of dog display teams and even let your own pooch have a go. Take a break from the excitement and refuel in the street food area with choices catering to every dietary requirement and cuisine preference, or the shaded bar area with the perfect summer drink. Release your inner child in the funfair, offering rides and carnival games.
The event is dog friendly and offers fun dog shows from 11:00 – 17:00. Classes include golden oldies, best exempt breed, and of course, best rescue. Some classes will be judged by familiar faces such as Minah Shannon and Skylar the Samoyed.
Minah, from Liverpool, was featured on the hit TV series, The Traitors. Skylar is a social media star and has been featured in Times Magazine, modelled for fashion brand Wolves Not Sheep, and starred in TV advert for Mecca Bingo.
Event organisers, PAW Society, say they’ve chosen to launch the event in the North West due to the numerous animal charities and nonprofits in desperate need of support. RescueFest provides a platform for these groups to gain awareness of their hard work and raise the funds needed to carry out their missions. Unlike any other event, RescueFest features animal rescues across the sector – from hedgehogs to horses and everything in between.
RescueFest is being sponsored by MyPet, a microchip and rescue platform provider, Bartley Studios, a photography studio in Warrington, Canine Therapies and Animal Trust Vets. Pawsitively Does It will be running the dog shows on the day, meanwhile traders and charities will include the likes of Greyhound Trust Merseyside, REACH Sled Dog Rescue, Ninja Coffee Company, A Taste Of Europe, Prima Paws and Quiet Riot Vintage.
