A law company is set to host an event to celebrate the region's most dashing pooches.

Hedges Law will launch its Handsome Hound competition at this year's Moreton Show, which is celebrating its 75th anniversary.

The competition is a new addition to the one-day agricultural festival.

The popular show celebrates Britain's countryside traditions, featuring a variety of activities, exhibits and displays.

The competition, sponsored by Oxfordshire’s oldest law firm, Hedges, will see the winning canine win a trip for themselves and their owners to The Lakes by Yoo, an exclusive luxury retreat in Gloucestershire.

With room rates starting at £265 per night, this prize promises a lovely getaway for the winning hound and their humans.

Nicola Poole, managing director of Hedges, said: "What brilliant fun to be launching this competition and partnering with a fellow regional heritage brand, as part of our community values.

"The Hedges team are huge dog fans.

"Many of us are dog owners and our furry friends are very welcome in our offices where there are always treats in good supply.

"We understand that dogs are a key part of country life and think they deserve to be recognised and celebrated.

"We’re looking for a dog with a glossy coat, a wonderful temperament and a fabulous personality that really makes them stand out."

The event will also feature horse and livestock shows, country crafts, food, drink, and pop-up shops.

Hedges Law has been offering legal services in Oxfordshire for 235 years.

Specialising in an array of areas, including wills, probate, inheritance planning, property law and conveyancing, among others, the firm recently opened a new office on Chipping Norton High Street.

Stuart Mace, Moreton Show chair, said: "The Moreton Show team has listened to its visitors and packed in even more fun for the family this year.

"We're delighted to welcome Hedges Law to the Moreton Show family and look forward to enjoying the new Handsome Hound competition at Pitch 129 in Zone B overlooking the Fun Dog Show Ring on Show day."

Interested dog owners can enter their handsome hounds into the competition on Saturday, September 7.
