Big Bark (NEW DATES)

After careful consultation with the Met Office and ongoing monitoring of the forecast hot weather conditions for The Big Bark at Cirencester Park on Sat 16th Aug & Sun 17th Aug, we've had to make the incredibly tough decision to postpone the event.

With temperatures predicted to be uncomfortably high and the risk of heat-related issues - particularly for our canine companions - the safety and wellbeing of our visitors, traders, team, and of course, the dogs, must come first. While we're disappointed, we're confident this is the most responsible choice to ensure everyone can enjoy the event safely.

We're pleased to confirm that The Big Bark will now take place on Saturday 18th & Sunday 19th October 2025.

All tickets will be automatically transferred to the new dates, and ticket holders will shortly receive an email with confirmation and further details. If you're unable to attend in October, the email will also outline your available options.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support during what we know is a disappointing change for many. We're already looking forward to welcoming you this autumn for a fantastic, tail-wagging weekend at Cirencester Park.
