Come on our social dog walk and celebrate the heartwarming bond between our LGBTQIA+ community and our beloved four-legged companions.

Looking for a fantastic way to celebrate the unique bond between our LGBTQIA+ community and our furry companions? Whether you have a loyal four-legged friend or simply want to immerse yourself in the wonderful world of canine camaraderie, this event is tailor-made for you!

What's in Store for You?

Community Connection: Experience the joy of bonding with fellow LGBTQIA+ members who share your love for dogs.

Paws and Pride: Show off your pride colours while walking alongside your four-legged friends and fellow community members.

Heartwarming Strolls: Revel in the simple pleasure of a leisurely walk with our loyal canine pals – it's amazing how much joy a wagging tail can bring!

New Friendships: Whether you're a seasoned dog owner or a dog admirer, you're sure to make new friends and unforgettable memories.

How it works?

Held on the third Sunday of every month, you are welcome to join us with or without a dog. To keep everyone comfortable and safe, we only accept a maximum of 6 dogs per walk and you will need to book a ticket for each dog that you intend to bring.

The first part of the walk is on lead with well-adjusted dogs being invited to be off-lead thereafter at the discretion of the Social Walk Lead. The route is generally flat with some parts moving away from designated pathways. Please wear appropriate footwear for muddy terrain.

Pay and display parking is available at Cosmeston Lakes Country Park (CF64 5UB). Please note, that there are strict restrictions around on road parking nearby (residents only). We will meet you at 1pm for registration by the gate into the park (on the far right of the car park as you enter).

Details of parking can be found at: Cosmeston Lakes Country Park

Ariennir y digwyddiad hwn gan Gronfa Gymunedol y Loteri Genedlaethol.

Beth os bydd hi'n bwrw glaw?

Rydyn ni’n cerdded ym mhob tywydd ond rydyn ni hefyd am sicrhau eich diogelwch. Os caiff y digwyddiad ei ganslo oherwydd tywydd gwael, byddwn yn rhoi gwybod yn ddim hwyrach nag awr cyn y digwyddiad.

Mae fy nghi yn cael ei hyfforddi ar hyn o bryd. Ydy e’n gallu dod?

Dim ond cŵn sydd wedi’u cymdeithasu'n dda sy'n cael dod ar ein teithiau cerdded. Mae pawb sy’n cymryd rhan yn llofnodi ymwadiad sy'n nodi'u cyfrifoldeb llawn drostyn nhw eu hunain a’u cŵn. Mae Swyddog Arwain Teithiau Cerdded hefyd yn asesu addasrwydd cŵn wrth gyrraedd. Os hoffech i’ch hyfforddwr ddod hefyd, anfonwch e-bost aton ni ymlaen llaw i gael rhagor o wybodaeth.

Hefyd, croesiadau o unrhyw un neu rai o'r bridiau hyn.

Dydyn ni ddim am i arian rwystro pobl rhag mynychu ein digwyddiadau. Felly, mae gennym gronfa gyfyngedig ddisgresiynol ar gyfer unigolion sy'n wynebu caledi ariannol sylweddol ac na fydden nhw’n gallu ymuno â ni heb gymorth ychwanegol. I wneud ymholiad, anfonwch e-bost aton ni ar [email protected]. Asesir pob cais yn unigol ac maent yn dibynnu ar y cyllid sydd ar gael.
