The Cockerpoo café and The Golden Retriever café are coming to Harrogate next month.
Dog events company Pop+Bark will host 80-minute off the lead social gatherings at The Foundry Project on Sunday, March 17.
The pop-up cafés invite owners to bring their Cockapoos and Golden Retrievers to socialise with other dogs. According to Pop+Bark, more than 8,000 Cockapoos and 5,000 Golden Retrievers have attended their events up to now.
Pop+Bark was featured in the latest series of BBC’s Dragon’s Den and its events offer an in-house doggy barkery serving biscuits and treats, a doggy boutique, plus furniture and props for photo opportunities.
One of Pop+Barks founders, Anushka said:
She said they received feedback at recent events saying "people would love if we came to smaller towns".
