"Whether you’re a proud French Bulldog owner or simply a dog lover looking for a few hours filled with fun and furry companionship, you need to put our huge French Bulldog meet-up in your calendar."

There will be a free puppuccino for every dog, a dog assault course and a huge field in which dogs will be able to play.

There will be expert speakers giving talks on training and behaviour during a live show, Frenchie merchandise, a photo both and hot and cold food for humans.
