Paw-tea in the Park is a free family day out combining everyone's favourite things: dogs, food, and a bit of fun. The highlight is the dog show taking place from 11am in the centre of the field, with registration from 10am if you fancy entering your own pooch. Beyond that, there's a craft market for browsing unique bits, a proper selection of food stalls serving hot and cold options, plus sweet treats and drinks for all preferences.
Your little ones won't be bored either. Fairground rides keep younger children entertained while a free teddy bear treasure hunt adds an element of adventure to the day. It's very much a bring-your-own-blanket sort of event, so pack a picnic, grab your family (furry members welcome), and settle in for a relaxed afternoon. The whole thing is set in Dartmouth Park, which gives you plenty of space to wander and explore at your own pace.
What to bring
- Picnic blanket or folding chairs for comfort while you watch the dog show and soak up the atmosphere
- Sunscreen and hats, plus a light rain jacket or umbrella in case of summer showers
- Portable phone charger if you plan to stay most of the day and want photos or entertainment sorted
- Cash for the craft market and food vendors, though check ahead what payment methods are accepted
- Water bottles and snacks for the children if you want to avoid relying solely on the food vendors
Top tips
- Arrive before 11am if you want a good spot to watch the dog show without fighting the crowds. The registration opens at 10am, so coming early means you'll catch setup and get the lay of the land.
- Head to the teddy bear treasure hunt first with younger children if the queues look long elsewhere. It's free and tends to be a highlight, so doing it early avoids disappointment.
- The craft market is worth a browse before lunch, as popular items from independent makers can sell out during the day.
- If you have a dog and fancy entering the show, find the registration desk immediately upon arrival as spaces may be limited. It's a fun way to involve your family pet in the activities.
- Bring a wagon or pushchair if you've got little ones, as Dartmouth Park can be expansive and you might want to explore different areas throughout the day.
