Brockwell Bark is a new non profit event to celebrate dogs and their humans in a joyful community spirit. A fun afternoon out for everyone, people can expect all the usual dog show shenanigans but with some playful twists.

The dog show has traditionally been a popular fixture in the Brockwell Park calendar and with so many new hounds in town it’s time to re-ignite the fun.

Located on the lawn outside Brockwell Park Hall, this inclusive event will invite dogs and their humans to participate in categories such as Happiest Tail, Pup Star, Village Veterans and fancy dress capers with Best in Show-Biz. We’ll have lots of audience participation in the shape of people’s votes, with the best of local food and drink to keep you refreshed on site.

Happiest Tail Calling all hairy helicopters! Does your turbo-tailed dog bring maximum wag energy until they look like they might take off? Let’s line up the Brockwell happy hounds and share their excitement.

Village Veterans: Bring us your heart melting golden oldies aged 10 and over,, those local legends and seasoned souls who’ve been with their humans through thick and thin.

Little Lead Legends: Kids under 12 are invited to enter with their doggos to show us their knack for handling their hound. Bonus points for any silly tricks!

Sit Happens: Who Let the Dogs Out? Woof, woof, woof! A fun musical round to find those good boys and good girls who’ll sit to the beat.

Fancy Dress Round 1 : Let’s go supermodels! Love a bit of fancy dress for you and your hound? You’ve come to the right place. The runway is open as we welcome our creatively dressed dogs and their humans to sashay down the dogwalk. Rest assured no outfit is too ridiculous for this show!

Pup Star : Fact: puppies make the world a better place. Enter your pup star and let’s go for maximum cuteness overload.

Twinning & Winning: Double trouble alert! Does your dog look like you? …Or do you look or dress like your dog? For all those head turning double acts, this is your chance to shine. Come forward as we applaud the doggy doppelgangers.

Best Pawformance: Can your pooch do something unique? Or just nailed their tricks extremely well? An expert sausage catcher or frisbee fiend? Brockwell’s Got Talent is open to all the silly hounds.

Fancy Dress Round 2 :Best in Show-Biz : Did we say we LOVE four legged fancy dress? Showbiz is the inspo - think pop icons, movie characters, superheroes, muppet mania. Everything and everyone welcome!
