Pop + Bark Dog Experience Returns for 2025
The paws are back in town… yes that’s right, the UK’s most talked about dog event is returning to Down Hall Hotel, Spa & Estate on Bank Holiday Monday, 5th May for the ultimate spring celebration and unleashed fun in the sun! Teaming up with leading canine events company, Pop + Bark, this is the largest outdoor breed-specific dog celebration of its kind, and the perfect place for puppy play to get those tails wagging.

With Down Hall Hotel situated in the heart of the Essex countryside just 45 minutes from central London, the experience welcomes four-legged friends, children and adults alike with a whole host of activities to guarantee a paw-some time all round! Specific time slots are in place throughout the day depending on which breed of dog is attending:
Cockapoo: 11am – 1.15pm
Golden Retrievers: 1.30pm – 3.30pm
Set within 110-acres of beautiful gardens and grounds of the hotel, grab a bite to eat at one of the food stations. Choose from authentic Italian stone-baked pizzas and salads to Greek grilled lamb kofte and halloumi and vegetable souvlaki, all curated by the hotel's Executive Chef Robert Pearce. Four-legged guests can feast on bespoke pup snacks from Rudi's The Doggy Bakery, with treats including all-natural pupcakes, doughnuts and cookies, as well as sipping on delights from the world's only Pupuccino Bar, fully stocked with fresh fruits, peanut butter sprinkles, dog-friendly choccy drops and gravy bones.

Dogs will be free to explore the picturesque grounds and new woodland trail, as well as having plenty of off-lead fun with fellow fur babies in the dedicated play zone filled with toys, a splash pool, bubble party and other games.
Strike a pose for the puparazzi, who will capture all the golden moments from the event. Best of all, the professional photos will be available to download after the event and are included in the ticket price. To keep the children entertained there will also be face painting, a glitter station, and an ice cream cart alongside a dedicated shopping area with boutique handpicked stalls.
The event welcomes Golden Retriever and Cockapoo breeds at allocated time slots and only these breeds will be permitted to enter the event. Dog lovers attending without their own furry friend are welcome too. Tickets start from £15.25 for adults and £9.75 for children aged 6-16, while tickets for infants aged 6 and under are free. All food and drink will be charged separately.
Free parking is available to all guests and those wishing to stay and play for a while longer can stay overnight and book a newly refurbished dog-friendly room directly with the hotel, with discounted rates starting from £295 Bed & Breakfast (based on two people sharing, dogs stay free).
