GUIDE Dogs' Reading Family Fun Day will return next month in Burghfield Common.

The event will take place on Saturday, September 21, open from noon to 4pm at Hillfields, in Reading Road, the home of the Guide Dogs charity since 1992.

Attendees will get a chance to see guide dog training demonstrations and experience the 'Sensory Tunnel' for an insight into life without sight.

The day will cater to all the family, and children can enjoy a variety of fairground games and face painting.

Adults can check out the various local craft stalls on offer, as well as a tombola and a lucky dip.

Pet owners can enter their dogs into the pet show where the best trick will be awarded, among other categories.

There will be food options available on the day, including a barbecue stand, with vegetarian and vegan options, a cake stand, and a licensed bar.

Entry is free and there's free parking at The Willink School with a free shuttle bus service to and from Hillfields.

Another free shuttle bus will be running loops around Burghfield and Burghfield Common.

The organisers would like to thank Croudace Homes for sponsoring this year’s event.
