ABOUT BARKFEST
Barkfest is a feel-good festival bringing together dogs, families, great food and entertainment for an unforgettable day out.
More than just a dog event, Barkfest combines everything you love about a great family festival — delicious food and drink, live entertainment, kids' activities, shopping and unique experiences — with plenty of fun for four-legged family members too.
Born in Dubai and now expanding to the UK, Barkfest brings people, dogs and communities together at fantastic venues for days filled with food, fun and shared experiences.
Good food. Great entertainment. Family fun. And dogs, of course.
MORE THAN A DOG FESTIVAL
There’s plenty for the dogs — but Barkfest is designed for the whole family.
Spend the day discovering great food and drink, live entertainment, family activities, kids' zones, shopping and experiences, alongside dog shows, games and activities for your four-legged family members.
Whether you come for the dogs, the food, the entertainment or simply a brilliant day out, there’s always something happening at Barkfest.
FROM DUBAI TO THE UK
Born in Dubai. Growing beyond.
Barkfest began in Dubai, bringing together the city's dog-loving community for relaxed, fun-filled festival days.
Today, Barkfest is growing into an international event series, with seasonal Dubai editions and our first UK Barkfest coming to Alnwick Castle in June 2027.
Different locations, different experiences — but the same Barkfest spirit.
