DALMATIAN CAFE IS BACK IN LONDON 😈👻
London, you’re about to start seeing spots. 👀
On Sunday 25th October, POP+BARK is taking over The Refinery Bankside for a seriously spotty Halloween spectacular – one room, a whole load of Dalmatians and enough black and white mischief to rival Cruella herself. 🎃
We’re transforming our Bankside home for spooky season with an epic Pumpkin Patch, Halloween photo moments, creepy-cute toys, treats galore and plenty of space for the Dally crew to run, play and make some new spotted besties.
Naturally, our iconic Pupuccino Bar will be serving up complimentary Pupuccinos with all the toppings, and we’ve got a VERY special surprise guest making an appearance too... 👀
Got a Dalmatian who was basically born to model a Halloween costume? This is their moment. From tiny devils and little witches to 101 different ways to wear a pumpkin – we want to see it ALL.
And you absolutely don’t need a Dalmatian to join us. Dalmatian owners, families, friends and dog lovers are all welcome to come and experience a room full of spots for themselves.
📍 The Refinery Bankside, London
📅 Sunday 25th October
THE BEST HALLOWEEN EVENT, EVER.
🎃 Calling London’s spotted squad. 80 minutes, one HUGE venue and a whole room full of Dalmatians ready to run, play, mingle and cause some beautifully black-and-white mischief. Halloween has officially got spots.
🍸 We’re taking over The Refinery Bankside, our brilliant south-of-the-river London home with a huge indoor space for the main event, plus an outdoor area for drinks, pre and post-pawty mingling and those all-important Dally group shots.
📸 Spots + pumpkins = your camera roll is about to PEAK. We’re going big on the Halloween set-up with our epic Pumpkin Patch, props, creepy-cute photo moments and plenty of places to capture your Dalmatian looking ridiculously good.
📷 And we’re bringing in the brilliant Hannah Drimer to photograph the pawty! Professional photography is completely FREE for our guests, so strike a pose with your spotty sidekick and download your favourite shots after the event at no extra cost.
🧁 Obviously the Pupuccino Bar is coming too. Complimentary pup cups, delicious toppings, treats to sniff out and a ridiculous stash of Halloween stuffies, balls and dog toys – basically, everything your Dalmatian considers essential.
🛍️ Fancy a little retail therapy while you’re here? Our hand-picked doggy stall will be stocked with accessories and goodies, so your four-legged plus-one can leave with a treat or two. As if they weren't already spoiled enough.
🦇 Leads OFF, spots OUT. Our dedicated event space is safe and secure, so once you’re inside, your Dally can ditch the lead and get down to the important business of zooming, sniffing, playing and finding their new best mate.
🧙♀️ No Dalmatian? Come anyway! You don’t need a spotty dog of your own to experience Dalmatian Cafe. Dog lovers, Dally obsessives, friends and family are all invited – grab a cocktail and enjoy 80 minutes surrounded by one of the most iconic breeds on the planet.
🧡 Little monsters welcome too! POP+BARK is family-friendly, so bring the kids, get everyone dressed up and make a proper London day of it. There’ll be plenty for little humans to get involved with – and frankly, a room full of Dalmatians is pretty hard to beat.
HOSTED BY POP+BARK
You’ve seen us on BBC Dragons’ Den and Blue Peter. You’ve followed the chaos on social. Now it’s time to experience POP+BARK IRL.
With over 400,000 guests through our doors, we’re known for throwing BIG dog events where the dogs are always the main characters. Everything we do is designed around one very important question: will the dogs absolutely LOVE it?
Because happy dogs = happy humans. It’s really that simple.
Expect a room full of zoomies, new besties, ridiculous photo opportunities and pure, wholesome dog-fuelled serotonin. Come experience the magic for yourself and leave happier than you arrived – with brilliant memories and a camera roll absolutely full to the brim of loveliness.
There’s a reason the likes of Time Out and Secret London have called our events some of the happiest in the UK. Come see what all the fuss is about. 💛
HALLOWEEN, BUT MAKE IT SPOTTY 🎃
POP+BARK loves a theme, and Halloween is our excuse to go completely overboard.
We’re transforming The Refinery Bankside into a spooky-season playground with pumpkins on pumpkins, skeletons galore, ghosts ’n’ ghouls, creepy-cute props and an epic Pumpkin Patch ready for its close-up.
There’ll be Halloween toys waiting to be chased, squeaked, snuffled and absolutely DESTROYED, spooky surprises throughout the pawty and plenty of ridiculously cute photo moments along the way.
Cute, chaotic and just the right amount of creepy. This is Halloween, POP+BARK style. 🎃
DRESS TO DISTRESS 🎃
Halloween costumes are optional but very much encouraged.
Whether your Dalmatian is rocking a tiny witch hat, going full devil dog, dressed as a pumpkin or turning up in something so ridiculously extra it steals the entire show – we want to see it.
And humans, don’t leave all the fun to the dogs. Come twinning, dress up the kids, coordinate the whole crew or just throw on something spooky and join in.
Basically, if there was ever a day to be a little bit extra, this is it.
COME MEET A LOT OF DALMATIANS
There’s just something about Dalmatians meeting Dalmatians.
From little Dally pups finding their confidence to seasoned seniors who know exactly where the treats are hidden, every age is welcome to come along, play, mingle and make some new four-legged friends.
Because seeing a room full of Dalmatians having the absolute time of their lives? That’s the good stuff. 🧡
Our events are a brilliant way to socialise your Dalmatian in a safe, secure space where they can be completely OFF-LEAD. No awkward pavement hellos. No tangled leads. Just the freedom to sniff, play, zoomie, make friends or happily do their own thing.
And there’s something pretty special about watching them realise they’re surrounded by a whole room of fellow Dalmatians. Same energy, same playfulness, same enthusiasm for getting involved in absolutely EVERYTHING.
MAKE NEW HUMAN FRIENDS
The humans have a pretty good time too.
Meet fellow Dalmatian people, swap stories, compare notes and make new friends with people who completely understand life with one of these brilliant dogs.
It’s socialising, POP+BARK style – relaxed, ridiculously wholesome and with the dogs firmly at the centre of it all.
DOG LOVERS WELCOME
No dog required. Just a slightly unreasonable love of Dalmatians.
Our Dog Lover tickets are for anyone who fancies spending 80 glorious minutes in the company of their favourite breed – no four-legged plus-one necessary.
Thinking about getting a Dalmatian one day? Come meet them in all their wonderful forms – puppies, grown-ups, seasoned pros and everything in between. Chat to their humans, get to know the breed and discover exactly why Dally people are quite so obsessed.
Need a serotonin boost? We’ve got you. Come cuddle some dogs, grab a cocktail, take an obscene number of photos and leave considerably happier than you arrived.
Bring your bestie, surprise a Dalmatian-mad friend, plan a ridiculously cute date or simply book because spending your weekend surrounded by Dalmatians in London sounds like a VERY good use of your time.
THE ICONIC PUPUCCINO BAR 🧁
No POP+BARK event is complete without a visit to our iconic Pupuccino Bar – and naturally, Halloween calls for a spooky little twist.
Send your Dalmatian up to the bar for a complimentary pup cup loaded with tasty toppings, biscuit treats and plenty of delicious extras. Tricks for humans, treats for dogs. We don’t make the rules.
Expect eager faces, shameless begging and absolutely ZERO table manners. Because when the Pupuccinos come out, dignity goes firmly out the window.
It’s messy, ridiculously cute and always one of the biggest moments of the pawty. Get the camera ready!
FAMILY FRIENDLY FRIGHTS 👻
Calling all little monsters (and big kids too) – POP+BARK Halloween is made for the whole family.
We’ll have Halloween activity sheets, loads of spooky dog toys and squishies to play with the Dalmatians, plus our famous Bubble Bash – technically for the dogs, but we’re yet to meet a kid who doesn’t lose their mind when the bubbles start flying.
Get them dressed up, bring them along and let them enjoy 80 minutes of Dalmatians, pumpkins, bubbles and Halloween fun. Basically, a pretty excellent day out for any dog-mad kid.
And while they’re busy living their best life? The grown-ups can grab a cocktail and enjoy the pawty too. Everyone wins.
HELD AT THE REFINERY
It’s big, beautiful and made for mingling with lots of floor space and comfy seating.
Located south of the river, it's the perfect base for day out in the city.
So make yourself at home on a comfy seat, grab a cocktail or spritz, order something delicious from the food menu and turn your POP+BARK visit into a proper feast.
MAKE A DAY OF IT
Why head straight home after the pawty? You’re right by the Thames, with some of London’s best dog-friendly spots within wandering distance – perfect for a riverside stroll, a little shopping or a post-event bite and drink.
Dalmatians, Halloween and an autumn Sunday in London? We can think of worse ways to spend a weekend. 🎃
Come for POP+BARK, make a day of it and head home with one very happy Dally, a camera roll that’s completely out of control and that warm fuzzy feeling only a day surrounded by dogs can deliver.
London, this one’s going to be GOOD. Grab your tickets and join us.
