See you there!

Pooches and Prams Halloween Walk Disclaimer

Everyone taking part in a Pooches and Prams walk does so at their own risk.

All dog owners at the walk are responsible for the control of their own dogs. Any conflict between dogs is strictly down to owners of those dogs involved and Pooches and Prams is not responsible for the outcome of any situation that may arise. Dog owners are fully responsible and liable for their animal should they cause or suffer any damage or injury.

All attendees of the walk are reminded that the terrain of the walk may be unstable, so please be aware of the possibility of slips, trips and falls. By attending the walk you are responsible for your own risk assessment and Pooches and Prams takes no responsibility for any accident or injury that may arise to owners or animals.

We want our walks to be safe at all times for everyone participating. To help keep them safe and fun please consider the following. 1) Please remember some dogs can be possessive and aggressive when sharing toys or balls. Please keep this to a minimum while walking as a group as fights can occur suddenly due to dogs being unwilling to share. 2) Please ask the owner’s permission when giving out treats as some dogs may have allergies or other health issues that could be affected by ingredients in treats. 3) Uncontrollable dogs must be kept on a lead. 4) Please respect other dog owners in the park if dogs are on a lead. This is your responsibility, not the Pooches and Prams.

Puppy Love Brunch Cinema Streatham | Puppy Love Brunch Cinema Club

Dogs may be a man’s best friend, but all too often, they get the short end of the (chewing) stick and miss out on much of the human fun. This is why the pooch-friendly Exhibit Bars in South London regularly host a series of canine-friendly cinema screenings for dogs and their parents to enjoy together. Not only do the screenings feature some of the best doggy movies of all time, but dogs will be treated to bottomless treats and a glass (or bowl!) of Pawsecco on arrival. These Puppy Love Brunch Cinema Streatham screenings are at Exhibit B in Streatham showing the film 101 Dalmations. You can see our exclusive  Puppy Love Brunch Cinema Club Preview review here at Exhibit Balham to see what it’s all about!

Exhibit B’s Dark Room screening area becomes a canine paradise with blankets and cushions for the dogs to relax on. All Puppy Love Brunch Cinema films have been hand-picked to be dog friendly and will be presented with lower audio levels so as not to scare the dogs. Tickets for screenings include brunch dish and an hour and a half of unlimited bubbles for human guests. Dogs go free and receive the full VIP treatment with bottomless treats, a glass of dog-friendly fizz on arrival, and as many hugs as they can cope with from the Exhibit team!

Tickets for Puppy Love Brunch Cinema Streatham (Film: 101 Dalmations) are available from: Dog-Friendly Cinema Exhibit Streatham| £25– cinema + brunch + 1.5hrs unlimited bubbly for human guests. DOGS – Go free in exchange for cuddles with the team (from the dogs not humans).
