A celebration of all things feline will take over The Oval Space in Bethnal Green this year.

Catfest will be a chance for the cat-obsessed to connect with other kitty lovers and spend a day playing, spoiling and taking pictures with the lovable beasts.

It will feature everything from watching cat videos to eating veggie street food lapped up with cat-themed cocktails and meeting shelter kittens.

There will even be a so-called cat-lit section where you and your furry friends can hear readings from Homer's Odyssey. And just to clarify, this Odyssey does not involve a Trojan horse or Greek warriors - it's a cat version about an abandoned blind kitten. Cute.

Fancy dress is also encouraged before you turn up, but if you forget, there's always the Glamour Puss beauty bar to get glammed up in.

And while it might be a whole 48 hours until the furry festival arrives in Bethnal Green on Saturday, stay pawsitive kitty lovers. It's promising to be quite the show.

Catfest will take place on Saturday July 14, 2018 from 11am - 6PM. Early bird tickets cost £15 per person. To book and for more information on the event, visit their website.
