# Alternative Therapies Open Day for Macmillan Cancer Support
**Type:** Event | **Location:** Hinckley, Leicestershire, England, United Kingdom
## About
Something a little different is heading to Hinckley — an open day dedicated to alternative therapies, and not just for dogs. Horses and their humans get a look-in too, with 27 different therapy stands to wander round over the course of the day.

Alongside the therapy stands, there's a proper fete feel to the day — summer fete games, a cake and drinks stall, and a magic show for anyone who fancies a sit-down and a bit of entertainment. You'll also get the chance to meet the horses from the Stars & Diamonds Racing Club, which feels like a fairly novel one for a dog day out. There's a raffle running too, with all money raised going to Macmillan Cancer Support — so it's a nice one to support even if you only pop by for an hour.

With 27 stands, a magic show, fete games and horses on site, expect this one to draw a decent crowd across the day, particularly around the main attractions — worth bearing in mind if your dog finds busy, noisy days a lot to take in.
