DROVE Veterinary Hospital is to host its annual open day on Sunday, June 27.

The hospital has branch offices throughout the Swindon area but the open day will be held at its main headquarters in Croft Road, Old Town.

Spokeswoman Jane Carter said: "The day gives the public a chance to come and see behind the scenes and meet vets, nurses and staff in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere, as well as raising money for a local charity."

This year's open day is in aid of Guide Dogs for the Blind. Attractions will include a dog fashion show, a children's dog competition, nursing demonstrations, talks by vets, pony rides, a bouncy castle, live music, a tombola and charity stalls.

The open day will run from 1pm to 4pm.
