Richmond's National Hotel is going to the dogs. Well, at least on Sunday, March 15, it is. And in the best way possible, of course. The pub is hosting its inaugural Paws + Pours dog-friendly market party, transforming its much-loved beer garden into a playground of puppy cuddles and furry fun.

Head down from noon to browse a collection of pet-focused market stalls, slinging everything from treats, to dapper doggy threads and accessories. There'll be pet photography, health and wellness clinics, and a pop-up from First Paw Mobile Vet, as well as a raffle chock full of paw-some prizes for your pooch.

Sounds from resident DJs will set the mood, while you tuck into some food specials from the kitchen and a few cheeky beer deals courtesy of local brewery Moon Dog. And to commemorate the occasion — and perhaps celebrate a certain furry friend in your life — the crew from Dark Essence Tattoo Parlour will be on hand inking dog-themed temporary tattoos throughout the day.
