Following the unprecedented success of its 2022 events, Pups in the Park, brought to you by Leader Dog Food, is back for 2023 in the iconic location of Dublin's Marlay Park and for the first time, in Cork's famous Showgrounds venue. The Marlay Park, Dublin event will take place on Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd April, while the Cork Showgrounds event will be held on Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th April.
This year, the paw-ty themed event expects over 12,000 dog lovers and their canine companions to walk the red carpet over the course of both events. Visitors will once again enjoy a fun-filled line up of doggy-inspired events and attractions including new additions such as ‘Dancing Dogs' hosted by Crufts favourite Anne Shuker or returning favourites such as the Puppy Play Pen, the Leader Bark Park, the Hay Bale Race or the Petinsurance.ie Obedience Ring. The hugely popular Chin Wag Talk Stage is also back for 2023, where the dogs as well as the humans can learn some new tips and tricks.
For the Dublin event, this special canine festival has renewed its charity partnership with The Dublin Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (DSPCA), Ireland's leading animal welfare charity, while the Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind, the national charity dedicated to enabling people who are vision impaired and families of children with autism to achieve improved mobility and independence, has come on board as the official charity partner for the Cork Showgrounds, Curraheen event.
