What’s on at Dogstival this year? Dog Paradise!

On 30th & 31st May, Burley Park turns into a full-blown doggy paradise — and yes, it’s as bonkers as it sounds. Head to the Shorefield Holidays Pop-Up Beach it’s rocking coastal vibes with palm trees, foam parties, paddling pools, DJs and even a 100-piece Rock Choir serenading you with “Club Tropicana” whilst you get your toes sandy! So grab a furiend, pack your trunks, and your sunnies, but no need for a passport for this Bark-cation!

Got a foodie floof? The Naturo Healthy Hound Kitchen is serving up sausage-making, doggy pizzas and a kitchen disco or grab a friend and pop along to the Montagu Arms Lady & the Tramp-style afternoon tea. Très chic. There’s barking bingo, dog quizzes and breed meet-ups at the Muddy Paws Tavern with the Dog Owners Group, plus Pup-Tails at the Pop & Bark Bar Puppuccino (pork-star martini? Go on then).

New this year? A splash pool just for little legends, doggy paddleboarding and a skateboard park. All your faves are back too — flyball, agility, three dog swimming pools, lure racing, main arena displays, scurry village, scent work and the epic Barkour Adventure Playground. Creative canines can channel their inner Picasso at the Pup Art Café  with Dotty Dog Art (paws on canvas = masterpiece). Dogstival celebrates every dog who has shaped our lives, past and present with the Ladybug Art Memory Garden. The garden offers visitors the chance to pause, reflect, and leave their name on the memory wall so that we bring the dogs we have loved and lost into the celebration with us.

Add live music, comedy, circus performers, street food and 130+ brilliant shops to sniff around, and you’ve got one tail-wagging weekend!!!
