London Dog Events 2018 | 17 Things To Do In London With A Dog

Dog Friendly Cinema: Customers are invited to bring their well behaved dogs to this special screening. We will provide bowls of water inside and outside the screen, and blankets to cover the chairs so you can sit next to your four legged friend while the film is on. 

With big dreams of becoming a musician, 12-year-old guitarist Miguel (Gonzalez) sets out to solve the mystery behind his family’s age-old ban on music. His adventures take him and his trusty dog Dante to the dazzlingly colourful Land of the Dead. Here, the young hero is met by a trickster skeleton Héctor (Bernal), and together they work hard to lift the musical curse. But will Miguel manage to make it back to the real world intact and will he solve the ancestral mystery? Pixar brings us another stunning family animation, masterfully directed by Lee Unkrich and co-directed by Adrian Molina. This time it’s Day of the Dead-themed and packed with magical skeletons, vibrant Mexican tradition, mischievous dogs and raucous celebrations. A truly captivating coming-of-age film with the family and a sense of humour at its heart.

The Doggy Sunday Brunch really is the perfect london dog event, from the moment you book, it’s all about your dog. Table bookings are taken in your dog’s name (bookings available from 12:00-2:15pm) and on the day a canine red carpet is rolled out to welcome all the pooches. Once inside, a special personalised doggy bowl and lots of delicious home-made treats await your dogs approval.

It wouldn’t be Argentinian without empanadas (small traditional pastries), so Beef or Chicken canine versions will of course be on offer for your pooch to sample.

Doggy Sunday Brunch is free for dogs to attend, humans order from the a la carte menu.

Please note your dog should be used to busy environments with lots of dogs and people else he or she (and you) won’t enjoy this London dog-friendly event.
