Bark in the Park

This is one for our four-legged friends and their owners!

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event

We’re delighted to offer an event all about making the most our stunning parkland with your dog. Grab your four-legged friends and join us on Friday 23 May and Saturday 24 May, between 10am and 3pm for dog filled fun in our parkland.

There will be dog games, obstacle courses and tennis ball bobbing for your dog to try. Our National Trust Rangers will also be leading group dog walks for you to find out the best routes to take and explore the countryside. Times for these walks will be confirmed on the day. We even have local artist Laurel, who will be providing quick dog sketches.

There will also be competitions on both days with prizes for ‘Cutest Puppy’, ‘Dog that looks the most like its owner’, ‘Best Trick’, ‘Best Outfit’.

We look forward to welcoming you and your dog to Sheffield Park.
