What’s On

WagWorks Open Day: Sat 4 (10 am - 2 pm)

WagWorks Open Day is a perfect opportunity for you and your dog/s to explore their beautiful club, designed with the health and happiness of dogs at the forefront; as previously featured in Urban Village LDN https://www.urbanvillageldn.com/whats-new-july-22?rq=WagWorks

Check out their forest walk, indoor playpark, scent den, dog pantry and healthcare suite, meet their team of dog-care experts, from in-house behaviourist and vet, to heads of daycare and founders, who will all be there. You’ll be able to ask any questions learn more about their approach, how membership works and what the benefits are for both you and your dog. You can also see what their treasured members get up to, check out what dog-care brands they stock including Butternut Box who will be there on the day and the WagWorks team told us there will be plenty of activities and pupcakes on offer for potential new members!

If your dog is already a member of their Fulham Club, you can refer a four-legged friend to join the Open Day and if they become members, you’ll both get two free full days of daycare! As a member, all you have to do is ask your friend to let WagWorks know on arrival - they’ll need to give your full name and the name of your dog - then once they become a member you’ll each have two free daycare days to use. Elena from WagWorks told us “our membership club for dogs, provides a holistic multi-service offering, including flexible daycare, training, healthcare and grooming, all under one roof, for ultimate convenience. Our members have exclusive access to our full range of services without lengthy waiting times, alongside an array of other fantastic benefits”.

First ever wine Wine tasting at One World: Thurs 16 (7pm)

Join One World in Parsons Green for an evening of wine tasting and nibbles. Their first ever wine tasting event will be hosted by Elliot Awin who is the “A” in ABS Wine Agencies, the six time winner of the IWSC wine importer trophy of the year.

We love the story behind Luddite, husband and wife team Penny and Neils became close friends at agricultural college. Romance blossomed late one night cramming for exams, Neil’s passed, Penny failed, but they’re still together. Finishing their studies their desire to make wines but with no access to vineyards “these were the dark days in South Africa”. Penny and Niels left the country eventually returning from Europe in 1995. Thirty years later, with three kids and six dogs, "Luddite wines has evolved into an established and respected brand”.
