Celebrity dogs will be the stars of the show at the Blockley May Fair.

Canines from some of television’s most popular shows will be making an appearance at the fair on Sunday, May 1.

One such star is Antilly the German shepherd, who many will recognise from Ricky Gervais’ Afterlife.

There will also be an appearance from Paddy of Midsomer Murders fame.

In the show Paddy works alongside detective chief inspector John Barnaby, played by Neil Dudgeon, and his on-screen wife Sarah, played by Fiona Dolman.

Taffy, who appears alongside Martin Clunes in Doc Martin, will also be taking to the stage.

The trio will arrive at 2:30pm following a dog show.

Starting at 12:30pm, owners will be able to enter their pooches in five different categories, with the winners competing for ‘best in show’.

There will also be a variety of stalls, live music, and bouncy castles.

The May Fair, in Blockley Sports Ground, opens at midday.
