10:00 until 16:00 both days

It's back – BIGGER and better than ever! That's right – following the amazing success of the very first Big Bark at Bath & West in 2022, we're doing it all again in April 2023.  

The team at A Doggy Day Out is tremendously excited to present not one, but two fun-packed days of adventure and excitement. Bring the whole family. Bring your dog, borrow a dog if you don't have one. Whatever you do, don't miss this fantastic weekend celebrating all things dogtastic.

The event takes place at the purpose-built Bath & West Showground. There'll be shopping stalls galore, and more doggy activities than you can shake a postman's leg at. We've included lots of chances to learn about your best four-legged friend too. We'll cover topics such as obedience, wellbeing, training and diet. Plus there'll be plenty of experts on hand to answer your all important questions. 

The Bath & West is the home of the Royal Bath & West Society, and the Royal Bath & West Show. It's therefore super accustomed to catering for large-scale events and big crowds which is exactly what we experienced last time the event was held there. So much so that this time, we've dedicated two full days to the event instead of one. The site provides not only oodles of outdoor space but also plenty of indoor facilities too. We can't wait to welcome you..

Here are just some of the things we're including:

• Have-a-go hoopers – from hoop to hoop, turning on a sixpence, try this fast and fun activity!
• Temptation Alley – treats or chews, gravy bones or fish skins – can your dog resist the temptation of the Alley?
• Canine Olympics – do you have a sporty dog? One full of vim, vigour, and energy? Let them have a go at our wonderful Canine Olympics.
• Fly Ball – get your earplugs ready for a noisy, fun, and fast race that pits dog against dog over hurdles.
• Scurry – on your marks, get set… Will your dog hurdle the hay bales to retrieve the dummy in record time?
• Dog Displays – discover and learn all things doggy at our fascinating displays and demonstrations from a host of experts in their fields, including:
