The White Horse Inn in Compton Bassett will host a dog walk event on April 5 to raise money for Leash of Life, a local dog rescue charity. The event aims to bring together dog owners for a social outing in Wiltshire’s beautiful countryside, providing fresh air, exercise, and information about the local area. The four-mile walk will start at 10am, with homemade bacon baps and hot drinks available for a suggested donation of £5 or more.
All proceeds from the dog walk event at the White Horse Inn will go to Leash of Life, with the walk expected to finish by 12pm for those interested in staying for lunch at the pub. The general manager, Ash Harlow, is excited for the event, having adopted one of his dogs from Leash of Life. The pub plans to host more dog walks throughout 2025, with special guests planned for future events.
The White Horse Inn is known for its dog-friendly atmosphere and commitment to supporting local charities. The pub hopes that the dog walk initiative will not only raise funds for Leash of Life but also create a sense of community among local dog owners. A donation of £5 or more is suggested for participation in the event, with vegetarian options available upon request.
