Stage legends Dame Elaine Paige and Bernadette Peters will return to co-host the third annual West End Woofs (and Meows) on Saturday 9 August 2025 at St Paul’s Church, Covent Garden.

The beloved adoption event begins at 10.15am with a ‘meet and greet’ featuring adoptable dogs and cats from participating shelters. From 11.00am, the pets will make their West End debut alongside stars from Hamilton, Les Misérables, Oliver!, The Devil Wears Prada, and The Phantom of the Opera.

Special guests include Harry Apps, Richard Dempsey, Peter Egan, Claire-Marie Hall, Cassidy Janson, Robert Lindsay, Frances Mayli McCann, Mazz Murray, Paul Nicholas, Lesley Nicol, Orfeh, John Owen Jones, Joanna Riding, Wayne Sleep and Helen Worth.

       

West End Woofs (and Meows) is a ticketed event, with entry priced at £5 per person. All proceeds benefit the participating shelters and rescue groups.

Dame Elaine Paige said, “West End Woofs is back. I’m thrilled to be co-hosting with my glamorous partner-in-paws, Bernadette! Last year was such a hit! Dozens of adorable dogs and cats found their forever homes. This year, we’re going even bigger. I can’t wait to raise the woof again with the support of our fabulous pals from the world of showbiz and help even more furry friends find their perfect owners!”
