A CREWE pet store is sponsoring a yearly dog charity event taking place in Nantwich - a 5km mud-run at a prestigious venue.

St Luke's Hospice, based in Winsford, also covering Crewe, will be hosting their muddiest event of the year - the 'Woof Mudder' on Sunday 22nd May.

The event is taking place at the 17th century stately home and gardens of Dorfold Hall, Chester Road, Nantwich.

'Woof Mudder' invites Hospice supporters and their four-legged friends to take part in a Tough Mudder style 5km mud-run, full of obstacles, hills and water.
