HOSTED BY POP+BARK

You’ve seen us on BBC Dragons’ Den and Blue Peter. You’ve followed the chaos on social. Now it’s time to experience POP+BARK IRL.

With over 400,000 guests through our doors, we’re known for throwing BIG dog events where the dogs are always the main characters. Everything we do is designed around one very important question: will the dogs absolutely LOVE it? Because happy dogs = happy humans.

It’s really that simple. So expect a room full of zoomies, new besties, ridiculous festive photo opportunities and pure, wholesome dog-fuelled serotonin. Add a little Christmas magic into the mix and you’ve got a pretty joyful day out.

Come experience it for yourself and leave happier than you arrived – with brilliant memories, one very merry dog and a camera roll absolutely full to the brim of loveliness!

CHRISTMAS, BUT MAKE IT FLUFFY

You KNOW we’re not doing Christmas by halves. Expect trees, twinkling lights, Nutcrackers, tinsel, sparkle and festive props GALORE.

And the main event? Your dog gets to meet SANTA PAWS himself. Prepare for possibly the most wholesome meet & greet ever. 🎅🐾

And honestly, is there anything cuter than a Corgi in a Christmas jumper? Those tiny legs, those enormous ears, those fluffy little bottoms. It's practically Christmas card material!

COME MEET LOTS OF CORGIS

From mischievous little pups finding their paws to distinguished Corgi seniors who've perfected the art of giving everyone the side-eye, Corgis of all ages are welcome to mingle, make friends and find their fellow short-legged crew!

Our events are a brilliant way to socialise your Corgi in a safe, secure space where they can be completely OFF-LEAD. No pavement hellos. No tangled leads. Just the freedom to sniff, play, zoomie, make new besties or simply potter around at their own pace!

And trust us, there's something magical about watching a room full of Corgis come together. The enormous ears, the fluffy bottoms, the ridiculously fast little legs and the occasional dramatic disagreement over who gets the best toy... it's Corgi heaven! Add Christmas jumpers, festive tunes and a little sparkle into the mix and you've got one ridiculously happy place to be. ✨

Pembrokes, Cardigans, fluffy coats, cheeky youngsters and wise old loafs – we love them ALL! 🐾🎄

DRESSED TO SLEIGH 🎄✨

Christmas jumpers, sequins and DAZZLE are very much encouraged. Whether your Corgi is serving cosy Christmas knit, Santa's shortest little helper, head-to-paw sparkle or a festive outfit that's almost as extra as their personality – we want to see it!

And don't forget, you'll be meeting SANTA PAWS himself, so make sure you're dressed to impress! After all, a photo with the big man deserves a seriously fabulous festive outfit. 🎅✨

Better still, get involved yourself. Come twinning with your Corgi, dress up the kids or get the whole gang sparkling. The shorter the legs, the bolder the outfits, the better. This is your excuse to go completely over the top – it's Christmas, after all! 🎄🪩

MAKE NEW HUMAN FRIENDS

The humans tend to find their tribe too!

Chat to fellow Corgi-obsessives, swap stories, make new friends and bond over the joys of living with a short-legged little dictator who has absolutely NO concept of personal space. Or the fact that your entire wardrobe is now permanently accessorised with Corgi glitter (otherwise known as fur).

It's socialising, but the POP+BARK way – safe, relaxed, ridiculously wholesome and completely led by the dogs. Just with festive tunes, a little sparkle and possibly a Christmas cocktail in hand. ✨🥂

DOG LOVERS WELCOME

No dog required to attend. Just a healthy obsession with short-legged cuties, and perhaps a little Christmas spirit! 🎄✨

Our Dog Lover tickets are made for anyone who simply wants to spend 80 glorious minutes surrounded by a room FULL of fluffy-bottomed, wagging, ridiculously adorable Corgis. Frankly, we can't think of a more joyful way to kick-start Christmas!

If you've always dreamed of owning a Corgi, it's also the perfect chance to get to know the breed, meet Corgis of all ages, chat to their humans and discover what makes these clever, affectionate, wonderfully stubborn little characters so completely irresistible.

Bring your bestie, surprise a Corgi-obsessed friend, plan the cutest festive date imaginable or just book because being surrounded by a room FULL of tiny legs, enormous ears and ridiculously happy Corgis sounds like a frankly EXCELLENT way to spend a weekend. ✨🥂

THE ICONIC PUPUCCINO BAR 🧁

No POP+BARK event is complete without a trip to our iconic Pupuccino Bar – and this Christmas, we're giving it a deliciously festive glow-up! 🎄🧁

Watch your Corgi take their rightful place at the bar and tuck into a gingerbread pup cup piled high with tasty toppings, biscuit treats and all their favourite goodies. Consider it their very own Christmas treat!

It's messy. It's ridiculously cute. And with Corgis involved, expect some VERY enthusiastic taste-testing. Let's face it, Corgis have never been known to turn down a snack!

Because a Pupuccino isn't just a snack. It's a whole moment – and judging by the wagging tails, impatient little paws and Corgis practically vibrating with excitement at the bar, we're pretty sure it's the highlight of their day! 🎅🐾

FAMILY FRIENDLY FUN

Calling all little elves (and big kids too) – POP+BARK Christmas is made for the whole family! 🎄✨

We'll have Christmas activity sheets, heaps of festive dog toys and squishies to play with the Corgis, plus our famous Bubble Bash – technically for the dogs, but we've yet to meet a kid who doesn't get just as excited when the bubbles start flying!

Dress them up, bring them along and prepare for a room FULL of tiny legs, fluffy bottoms, Christmas sparkle and festive fun. With this many Corgis in one place, there's never a dull moment! And don't forget, there's a VERY special someone waiting to meet them too... Santa Paws! 🎅🐾

And if the grown-ups happen to have a festive cocktail in hand while all this is going on? Even better. 🥂✨
