HOME

For a fourth year KCAC joins up with Community Action Nepal in the Lake District for a sponsored dog walk inspired by Nepal’s Kukur Tihar - the DAY OF THE DOG

on SUNDAY 27th JULY

Every year in Nepal, for one day, all dogs, including strays, are looked on with respect. A red tika is put on the dog's forehead and a garland of flowers around its neck and It is prayed to so that it will guard the house as it guards the gates of the underworld and in so doing divert destruction away from the home.


We will be meeting at Sizergh Castle near Kendal, for a morning walk. which includes a Hindu blessing for your dog, a Buddhist prayer scarf for you and a Christian blessing in outside St. John’s Church, Helsington for both dogs and people.




















A big thank-you to Angela Hornyold Strickland for generously allowing us to use

Sizergh Castle and Gardens for the event.

When:             Sunday 27th July 2014

Where:            Sizergh Castle, Nr. Kendal, Cumbria LA8 8AE follow signs from the car park to

EXTRA DOGS, PEOPLE AND CHILDREN

If your family has more than one dog it will be £5 for each extra dog and £5 for each extra adult. We think dog day will be a day that children  will enjoy and so they can come for free.
