Big Bark at Cirencester Park
Saturday 18 - Sunday 19 October 2025
RESCHEDULED FROM 16 - 17 AUGUST
The Big Bark returns to the stunning Bathurst Estate in Cirencester Park on 16 and 17 August, bringing a weekend of tail-wagging fun for dogs and their humans alike! Running from 10am to 5pm each day, this much-loved dog festival promises an exciting blend of activities, demonstrations, and shopping – all designed with canine companions in mind.
Visitors can expect “have-a-go” arenas where dogs of all ages and abilities can try their paw at agility, scurry, scent work, hoopers, flyball, and more. Puppies under one year can enjoy a specially designed soft play area and age-appropriate activities with the Puppies Adventure Ticket, which even includes a complimentary puppuccino and biscuit!
The festival also features thrilling displays from expert trainers and working dogs, a dog-friendly marketplace bursting with treats and accessories, and top advice from nutritionists, trainers, and wellbeing professionals.
Refuel at the vibrant street food area or visit the Doggy Café for a paws-itively delicious break. Entry for all dogs is free, and there's ample free parking on-site, with level access for easy exploring.
A range of ticket options are available, including group rates, family passes, and activity add-ons. The Pawtime Adventure Ticket gives up to two dogs unlimited access to all activities (excluding charity events). Individual activities are also available on a pay-as-you-go basis (£1.50, cash only).
This year, The Big Bark is proudly supporting the NFRSA charity – helping dogs in need.
Whether you're a seasoned dog-lover or a first-time pup parent, The Big Bark promises a truly unforgettable day out.
