Overview

Add another date into your doggo's diary — NewBARKet Dog Fest is back. On Saturday, June 8, Newmarket Village is going to the dogs, but in a good way, with the adorable festival returning for a huge second year.

Take your pupper along from 11am till 5pm, with everything from pooch parades to a puppy ball pit to plenty of pats on offer. 2019's event is themed like a canine circus, so competing in categories such as The Bearded Lady (aka the doggo with the messiest bed head), The Strong Man (the most muscular pooch) and The Fortune Teller (the pupper with the best costume) is on the agenda. Also: canines with hula hoops.

Pet photography, talks about puppy pampering sessions, market stalls and a bone bar are on the agenda too, so you can show off your four-legged best friend, make them feel special, and give them a treat or two.

For attendees of the two-legged variety (no, your clever canine standing on their two back legs doesn't count), there'll also be food and live music, including free fairy floss. And if you're sadly lacking in the pooch department, don't worry — everyone else will have you covered, so you'll be in for a top day of dog-watching.
