The nation went barking mad this Bank Holiday weekend for the Blue Peter Bark in the Park events celebrating 75 years of guide dogs. 

Thousands of visitors – many with their pet pooch in tow – went along to the Blue Peter Bark in the Park events which were simultaneously held on Sunday 28 May at Pollok County Park, Glasgow; Heaton Park, Manchester; Castle Ward, Downpatrick, Northern Ireland and Gloucester Park, Basildon.  (See events info page for news on Bristol and Vale of Glamorgan)
