There will be lots of photo opportunities for you and your new Greyhound, Whippet & Lurcher pals. Plus you can explore an incredible, nearly 900 year old Priory.
Share with all of your Sighthound friends.
This event is in honour of Prior Henri de Becheton who successfully claimed the right to keep his beloved greyhounds and other dogs at Birkenhead Priory in 1348. During this period dogs were not allowed to be kept as they interfered with the HUNT, which was all-important at this time so this was quite an achievement for Prior Henri.
All are welcome
