Barklove, the ultimate festival for dog lovers, will take over the full SWG3 complex on Sunday 5 July 2026.
Following an unforgettably good debut in 2025, Barklove has announced its return to SWG3 on Sunday 5 July, unveiling plans for the ultimate feel good celebration dedicated to dogs and the people who love them.
Created with dogs at the centre, Barklove is a day designed to be explored at a canine pace. From the specially installed Fun Agility Area and live, dog inspired art taking shape throughout the site, to relaxed chill out sessions, browsing stalls, education workshops or soaking up the atmosphere of dog friendly DJ sets, there is plenty to dip in and out of across the day. Whether attending with a dog or without, Barklove is the ultimate day out for dog lovers.
Creating Barklove and seeing it come to life was a real dream come true. Combining my lifelong love of dogs with my background in events felt like a natural fit, and nothing beats spending time in the company of dogs. Bringing Barklove back to SWG3 on Sunday 5 July feels like the perfect way to spend a summer day, and I cannot wait to welcome dogs and dog lovers back together again.
