Group Session Update 🐾 After a lot of thought, we wanted to let everyone know that this weekend’s group socials will be the last ones we run for a little while 😔

Over the last few sessions we’ve unfortunately struggled to fill the slots and get enough numbers through the doors to make them viable to continue running at this time.

Our group socials have always been a fantastic opportunity for dogs to socialise, burn off some energy and make new furry friends - whilst giving paw-rents the chance to chat, share experiences and meet fellow dog lovers too 🐶💛

We believe the drop in attendance is likely due to the lovely weather and summer now being upon us, with many people making the most of outdoor adventures instead. We completely understand, and we hope to revisit group sessions again in the Autumn months when the weather changes and demand hopefully picks back up.

In the meantime, we’d highly recommend joining our ‘Find a Play Buddy’ Facebook group where you can arrange meet ups with other Bark 'N' Play lovers and even split the cost of a private hire session together:

We do still have TWO final group socials running this Saturday (tomorow) morning, so why not come along and join us one last time before we take a break? 🐾

🕙 10am – Medium Mixed Breed Group Social
🕚 11am – Small Mixed Breed Group Social

Book your space here:

Of course, the centre is still open as normal and always will be... 7am - 9pm, 7 days a week for private hire sessions 😀 You can hire the soft play room exclusively for your own pup, or invite friends along too, with private sessions accommodating up to 5 dogs 🐕

We also welcome enquiries for larger staffed bookings such as dog birthday parties and special events - just send us a message or email:

Thank you to everybody who has supported our group socials so far, we truly appreciate every single booking and hope to bring them back again later in the year 💛

GROUP SESSION REMINDER 🐾 Just a little reminder that our Bark 'N' Play Group Sessions are taking place this weekend and we can't wait to welcome lots of wagging tails! 🐶

After a week of many dogs being stuck indoors more than usual because of the heat, this weekend is the perfect chance for them to get out, burn off some energy and enjoy some playtime with furry friends, and with cooler weather forecast, conditions are looking much better too ☁️🐾

This weekend's sessions:
🕙 10am – Medium Mixed Breed Group Session
🕚 11am – Small Mixed Breed Group Session

💷 £10 per dog

Spaces need to be booked online, so if you've been thinking about coming along, don't leave it too late:

Please note:

⚠️ For safety reasons we cannot allow under 16s into the soft play centre during group sessions.
⚠️ Due to venue capacity, we can allow a maximum of 2 adults per dog

Your pooches have waited all week... now let them enjoy their weekend too ❤️🐶

🌡️ Another warm one today! 🐶☀️ With temperatures staying high, please remember that while it might be tempting to head out for a walk, pavements and tarmac can become dangerously hot for dogs very quickly. If it's too hot for your hand, it's too hot for their paws 🐾

For anyone looking to get their pups out without battling the heat, remember Bark 'N' Play is open 7am–9pm, 7 days a week. Being indoors and equipped with 3 x fans, our soft play room stays noticeably cooler than outside and provides a much more comfortable space for dogs to stretch their legs and burn some energy.

If you're visiting us this week, please help us keep everyone safe by following these simple tips:

✅ 1) Try to book an early morning session (7am–10am) or later evening session (6pm–9pm) when it’s much cooler and safer to travel.

✅ 2) Give your dog plenty of rest breaks during play. There is an unlimited supply of free fresh drinking water available throughout your visit 💧

✅ 3) If arriving during warmer parts of the day, please carry your dogs the short 10–15 steps from your car into the centre, rather than letting them walk on the hot tarmac.

A little extra care goes a long way in weather like this ❤️ Stay cool, stay safe, and we'll see you and your pups soon!

☀️ HOT WEATHER REMINDER ☀️ With temperatures continuing to rise this week, it's clearly becoming unsafe for dogs to be out walking in the heat, especially on hot tarmac which can quickly become far hotter than the air temperature and burn sensitive paws 🐾

The good news? Bark 'N' Play is open from 7am–9pm, 7 days a week, giving you plenty of opportunities to get out with your pups safely!

Our indoor soft play centre is equipped with 3 x commercial fans, helping keep the room significantly cooler than outdoors and at a much safer temperature for dogs to play, exercise and burn off some energy 🐶❄️

If you're booking a session with us this week, please help us keep your pooches happy and safe by following these simple tips:

✅ 1) Try to book an early morning session (7am–10am) or later evening session (6pm–9pm) when it’s much cooler and safer to travel.

✅ 2) Give your dog plenty of rest breaks during play. There is an unlimited supply of free fresh drinking water available throughout your visit 💧

✅ 3) If arriving during warmer parts of the day, please carry your dogs the short 10–15 steps from your car into the centre, rather than letting them walk on the hot tarmac.

Let's all keep our pups safe while still letting them enjoy some fun this week ❤️🐾

🐾 Just a reminder… our brand new Scent Wall is now available for all visitors to use at Bark 'N' Play! 🐶

It’s a great way to give your pups some extra mental stimulation while they’re enjoying the soft play room. Scent work taps into their natural instincts and is brilliant for keeping minds busy and noses working! 👃🐾

Need treats? You can grab some from our dog product vending machine, or feel free to bring your own along.

We just ask one small favour — please don’t leave any treats hidden in the wall once finished and leave it clear and ready for the next user of the soft play room ❤️

Happy sniffing! 🦴

If you can’t get outside with your pups today, book online and come and play with us at Bark 'N' Play! 🎾🐕
