Birmingham Dogs Home will host its first ever Mini Country Music Festival this month, bringing together country fans for a fun night of fundraising in aid of homeless dogs across Birmingham and the West Midlands.

The Mini Country Music Festival, which is being held at Birmingham Dogs Home’s center in Solihull, will see the site transformed on 22nd August. The event will bring together some of the best country music artists, including Kassidy Kiernan, Two Ways Home, Buckle ‘N’ Boots and radio DJ Harry Colley from Country Roads Radio on Cheshire Mix 56.

There will be something for everyone at the Birmingham Dogs Home Mini Country Music Festival. As well as live music, guests can try their hand at line dancing and attempt to stay on a bucking bronco. They can indulge in some retail therapy with shopping stalls offering a selection of treats and gifts, alongside enjoying the licensed bar and food stalls. For children, there will be activities including cowboy crafts and face painting.

In addition to providing an evening of fun for families and locals, the aim of the event is to raise vital funds to ensure Birmingham Dogs Home can continue to support abandoned dogs across the region. It costs the charity roughly £6,000 a day to keep the doors open to both of its centres in Solihull and Wolverhampton, with over 2,000 dogs rescued each year.

So, whether you’re a country music fan or you’re looking for a night out with a difference, the Mini Country Music Festival is the chance to enjoy a great evening out while helping to raise funds for homeless and vulnerable dogs across the West Midlands.

Rachel Frost, Events and Community Fundraising Manager at Birmingham Dogs Home, said: “We're absolutely delighted to be hosting our first ever Country Music Festival at Birmingham Dogs Home this year. Country and Western music is more popular than ever and, with so many fans here in the West Midlands, it will be a great opportunity to raise funds to ensure thousands of dogs across the region receive the care and support they need.

“We're incredibly grateful to our supporters, volunteers, stallholders and local businesses who help us make events like this possible, and we can't wait to welcome everyone for what promises to be a fantastic day.”
