Scotland set for first ever Pugfest

A festival devoted entirely to pugs is being planned for Scotland.

Pugfest will be held on 29 April 2018 at the Scottish National Equine Centre in West Lothian after organisers launched an appeal to find a venue last week. The festival, which has been dubbed the Glastonbury for pugs, began life in South Wales in 2014.

The event, which is in its third year, has attracted more than 125,000 visitors. Co-organiser, Martin Clowes, 49, said: “We had a lot of interest from people, but we couldn’t ask for more with the equestrian centre – it’s perfect.
