Tails, Treats, and Tunes at Bark in the Park
Calling all dog lovers! Get ready for a tail-wagging event, hosted by Forever Mournes, that’s packed with fun for the whole family.
Taking place at Silent Valley Mountain Park from 1–4pm on Sunday 31 August 2025, there will be engaging demonstrations, interactive activities, as well as plenty of dog-inspired fun that’s sure to captivate both you and your furry friends.
Stop by the market stalls filled with treats, toys and accessories for your dog.
Is your pup a star in the making? Strut your stuff and compete in our dog show for the chance to win!
Don’t forget to stop by our doggie caricaturist for a quirky, one-of-a-kind portrait of your furry best friend.
With live music from The Popplestones to keep your toes tapping, face painting for the kids, and captivating demos by The Dog Campus (including scent detection and mantrailing), you’ll find fun and heartwarming moments around every corner.
Come make memories with your favourite four-legged pals—you won’t want to miss it!
