BEAGLE CAFE IS COMING TO OXFORD 🐶
Oxfordshire, prepare for some Beagle-mania as POP+BARK bring it's famous Beagle Cafe event to Slug and Lettuce in Oxford this Sunday 4th October – and oh my goodness it's going to be epic!
Not only is it the FIRST time Beagle Cafe has been in Oxford, but it's also spooky season so expect double the trouble and even more fun. Think a sea of Beagles playing, sniffing, zooming and making new friends, with pumpkins everywhere, ghosts ’n’ ghouls and lots of Halloween chaos thrown in for good measure.
Tricks? Absolutely. Treats? The Beagles will find them before you do.
Expect our iconic Pupuccino Bar, Pumpkin Patch, heaps of halloween stuffies and dog toys to destroy in a secure off-lead space – plus one VERY special surprise guest lurking in the shadows... 👀
So whether your Beagle is too cute to spook, ready to sniff out some trouble or fully committed to their villain era, we promise Oxford’s very first Beagle Café is going to be a good one.
🎟️ Beagle people of Oxford, your time has COME. Get your tickets now!
THE BEST HALLOWEEN EVENT, EVER.
🐾 For the FIRST TIME EVER, Beagle Café is coming to Oxford! 80 glorious minutes, one HUGE venue and a whole room full of Beagles ready to play, sniff, zoomie and make new besties. Oxford Beagle people, this one’s for you.
🎃 And because our Oxford debut lands in spooky season, we’re giving Beagle Café a Halloween glow-up. Expect an epic Pumpkin Patch, pumpkins on pumpkins, creepy-cute props, tricks, treats and plenty of frightfully good photo moments. Costumes optional, but very much encouraged!
🍸 We’re taking over Slug and Lettuce Oxford, with a brilliant indoor bar that’s pawfect for off-lead fun. Grab a cocktail, order some delicious bites and watch the Beagle madness unfold while your pup makes new friends.
🧁 No POP+BARK party would be complete without our iconic Pupuccino Bar. Your Beagle can take their rightful place at the bar, get stuck into a pup cup piled high with delicious toppings, sniff out loads of treats and enjoy heaps of toys, balls and off-lead fun.
🛍️ A hand-picked doggy biz will be popping up with a stall packed with dog accessories, goodies and plenty of opportunities to treat your four-legged bestie. Because obviously they deserve a little something.
🦇 Safe, secure and OFF-LEAD. Once inside our dedicated event space, the leads can come off and the fun can begin. Let them zoom, sniff, play, follow their noses and make new friends while you mingle with fellow Beagle people.
🐶 No Beagle? No problem. Dog lovers are ALWAYS welcome at POP+BARK. Come for the cocktails, stay for the chaos and spend 80 glorious minutes surrounded by a frankly ridiculous number of Beagles.
🧡 And bring the whole gang! We’re completely family-friendly, so bring the kids, grab the camera and prepare for some serious wholesome chaos. And if you fancy going full Halloween and arriving as a family coven? We fully support it.
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 London and the BBC News have called our events some of the happiest in the UK. Come see what all the fuss is about. 💛
HALLOWEEN, BUT MAKE IT CUTE 🎃
POP+BARK loves a theme, so you just know we’re not doing Halloween by halves.
We’re transforming Slug and Lettuce into a spooky-season playground with pumpkins on pumpkins, skeletons galore, ghosts ’n’ ghouls, creepy-cute props and a Pumpkin Patch ready for its close-up.
There’ll be Halloween toys ready to be chased, squeaked, snuffled and absolutely DESTROYED, spooky surprises around every corner and plenty of frightfully good photo moments along the way...
DRESS TO DISTRESS 🎃
Halloween costumes are optional but very much encouraged.
Whether your Beagle is serving tiny witch, spooky ghost, devil dog, pumpkin realness or something so wildly extra it deserves its own Instagram account – we want to see it.
Better still, get involved yourself. Come twinning, dress up the kids or rock a group ensemble. This is your excuse to go completely over the top, and we fully support it!
COME MEET A WHOLE LOTTA BEAGLES
There’s just something about Beagles meeting Beagles.
From tiny pups finding their paws to distinguished Beagle Oldies who’ve sniffed it all, every age is welcome to come, mingle and find their people... well, Beagles.
Our events are a brilliant way to socialise your Beagle in a safe, secure space where they can be completely OFF-LEAD. No pavement hellos. No tangled leads. Just the freedom to sniff, play, zoomie, make friends or follow their nose wherever it takes them!
And trust us, they KNOW when they’re surrounded by their fellow Beagles.
Watching them clock a room full of dogs who look just like them never gets old.
MAKE NEW HUMAN FRIENDS
The humans tend to find their tribe too.
Chat to fellow Beagle-obsessives, swap stories, make new friends and bond over life with a dog whose nose has absolutely ZERO respect for your plans.
It’s socialising, but the POP+BARK way – safe, free, ridiculously wholesome and completely led by the dogs.
DOG LOVERS WELCOME
No dog required to attend. Just a healthy obsession with them!
Our Dog Lover tickets are made for anyone who simply wants to spend 80 glorious minutes surrounded by a sea of their favourite dogs.
If you’ve always dreamed of owning a Beagle, it’s the perfect chance to get to know the breed, meet Beagles of every age, chat to their humans and experience first-hand what makes these curious, cheeky, nose-led little legends quite so special.
Need a serotonin fix? Consider this your prescription. Come cuddle some Beagles, grab a cocktail, take approximately 600 photos and leave significantly happier than you arrived.
Bring your bestie, surprise a Beagle-obsessed friend, plan the cutest first date imaginable or just book because being surrounded by Beagles sounds like a frankly excellent way to spend a Sunday in Oxford.
THE ICONIC PUPUCCINO BAR 🧁
No POP+BARK event is complete without a trip to our iconic Pupuccino Bar – and this Halloween, the treats are getting a spooky little glow-up.
Watch your Beagle take their rightful place at the bar and tuck into a delicious pup cup piled high with tasty toppings, biscuit treats and all their favourite goodies. No tricks here, just treats.
It’s messy. It’s ridiculously cute. Your dog will truly love it!
Because a Pupuccino isn’t just a snack. It’s a whole moment – and judging by the queues of Beagles waiting (and drooling) at the bar, we can tell it’s the highlight of their day.
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, heaps of spooky dog toys and squishies to play with the Beagles, plus our famous Bubble Bash – technically for the dogs, but we’ve yet to meet a kid who doesn’t get just as excited when the bubbles start flying.
Dress them up, bring them along and let them loose in a room full of Beagles, pumpkins, bubbles and Halloween fun.
And if the grown-ups happen to have a cocktail in hand while all this is going on? Even better.
HELD AT SLUG AND LETTUCE
