The Big Woof is back: King’s Cross dedicates a weekend of fun, fur and frolics to our four-legged friends

Making a highly anticipated comeback after its successful debut last year, The Big Woof is bounding back to the dog-friendly haven of King’s Cross for another weekend extravaganza!

Running 14-15 September from 10am – 5pm, this FREE two-day canine wellness festival at Coal Drops Yard is dedicated to our favourite four-legged furry friends and their humans.

Visitors and their pooches can enjoy an exciting line-up of new ‘wellbeing’ activities, including dog yoga, dog massage and sound baths for those zen pups. There will also be a whole host of workshops, masterclasses, talks and fun dog shows with categories including ‘My Dog’s Got Talent’ and ‘The Longest Sit’.

After a day of pampering and play, visitors can dine with their pooch at one of the 25 dog-friendly restaurants in King’s Cross. From delicious dog treats to tasty meals for humans – there will be something on offer for everyone. It’s a dog’s dream come true!
