Following the success of last year’s WEST END WOOFS (AND MEOWS), Elaine Paige and Bernadette Peters are thrilled to return to co-host their second annual live event at St Paul’s Church, Covent Garden on Saturday 10 August from 10.00am. www.westendwoofs.dog
Bringing together much-loved talent of the West End and their four-legged friends, West End Woofs (and Meows) is a live dog and cat adoption event, working with participating shelters and rescue groups to benefit their charitable work.
Elaine and Bernadette first teamed up to co-host the virtual edition of West End Woofs during lockdown in 2020, before hosting their first live event in 2023. Across the pond, Broadway Barks, continues to be a howling success over 25 years on.
The adoption event begins at 10.00am with a ‘meet and greet’ with all the adoptable pets. From 11.00am adoptees make their West End debut on stage alongside some of the West End’s favourite stars from Les Misérables, The Phantom of the Opera, Hamilton and Sister Act, with special guests to be announced. Money raised on ticket donations goes towards the shelters. You must purchase a ticket to gain access to the Church grounds to meet the adoptable pets and enjoy the staged section of the event.
The participating shelters and rescue groups taking part in WEST END WOOFS (AND MEOWS) are:
• All Dogs matter
• Home Run Hounds
• Pro Dogs Direct
• Saving Saints
• German Shepard Rescue South
• Noahs Ark Romanian rescue
• Helping Dogs and Cats UK
• Peterborough Cat Rescue
All proceeds from the event will benefit the great work they do.
