Walk your dog and potentially find love at the same time
© Match.com

Any dog-owning singleton knows how important it is that your future soulmate is also a dog lover. Imagine the horror if George Clooney or Harry Styles (whoever floats your boat… I don’t judge!) declared their undying love for you… but was also highly allergic to your four-legged friend!

This is where professional cupids Match.com come in. The online dating agency are hosting a special one-off dating event for dog-owners on Saturday 5 April 2014 in Battersea Park. As well giving singletons the chance to meet other dog lovers, the setting is a lot more relaxed than other dating events, making it easier to strike up a conversation. There will be complimentary refreshments for the humans and activity sessions and a play area for the dogs. Made In Chelsea star Lucy Watson and her beloved dog Digby – who are frequent visitors to Battersea Park in the E4 show – will also be in attendance.

• Bark In The Park takes place on Saturday 5 April from 1-3pm at the Battersea Park Bandstand in Battersea Park, Battersea, SW11 4NJ. Nearest train station: Battersea Park or Queenstown Road. To take part, either register at www.match.com/events or email BITP@eu.match.com. Tickets are £5 with proceeds going to the Dogs’ Trust.
