Munching your way through a food market is a time-honoured London tradition, especially on a glorious summer day, but our four-legged companions are often second-tier citizens relegated to snagging scraps off the floor. A new weekly market in Islington aims to change that.

Held every Saturday in August, the Woof About dog market takes place alongside the established Urban Food Fest for humans at Islington Square. Running from 11am to 5pm, the market features vendors selling fresh dog food and treats, stylish accessories like leads and collars, bandanas, bow ties, and more. Unique services like a canine gut testing kit or a dog portrait artist will also be available on select days.

You can find out more about the Woof About market here.
