A two-day dog festival is due to take place at Uttoxeter Racecourse on Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 September 2026.

The Big Bark will run from 10am until 4pm on both days, with fun dog shows, have-a-go agility, lure chasing, games and demonstrations by handlers.

Organisers say specialist traders will offer dog food, treats, toys, accessories, training, grooming and wellbeing products. Street food and other retail stalls are also planned.
