£16 for an adult, with one FREE child ticket available with every adult ticket purchased.

£5.50 each for any additional children (under 4’s go free). Canine companions also go free if you book in advance!

No dog? No problem!

Waggy Walk is a fun and friendly day out for everyone. We have plenty of people taking part without dogs. Plus, there’s a social walk at midday to meet new people in the local community.

Here’s all the treats (for you and your pup!) included in the ticket price…

• Every dog who completes the event will receive a wonderful goody bag from luxury pet shop, George’s Dog Boutique.
• The award-winning Hand in Hand pub, where the routes start and finish, will provide pre-walk drinks and delicious snacks.
• All Waggy walkers can enjoy an artisan sausage roll post-walk, freshly baked by Two Teaspoons (veggie and meat options available).
• John D Wood will be giving out goodies for your four-legged friends!

Take strides for the community

Waggy Walk comes at a time when Wimbledon Guild is supporting more of Merton’s community than ever before.

Wendy Pridmore, Chief Executive, says: “Loneliness is something we all experience at times. While many of us seek comfort from family, friends, or pets, countless individuals in Merton don’t have those options. That’s where Wimbledon Guild steps in. Our mission is to make sure that no one in Merton faces life’s challenges alone.”

“Fundraising events like Waggy Walk are vital in helping us fulfill that mission. As well as being a fun day out for all the family, the event also helps to create a stronger, more supportive community. With your support, we can continue to be a source of connection, companionship, and practical help for those in the borough who need it most.”
