Manchester is a pretty dog-friendly place, with countless places to take your furry friend for a coffee, shop or cheeky tipple. Now, a Manchester party bar is gearing up for a social event aimed at a rather different kind of clientele to normal − and no ruff behaviour will be allowed at the Doggy Disco Party.
Much-loved music venue Gorilla is set to host a Doggy Disco Party in June, open to ‘cockapoos, dachshunds and all pups‘, which pretty much means an open invitation, with “all friendly socialised dogs” welcome.
The Doggy Disco Party on Saturday 1 June promises a real doggy celebration with plenty space in the bar for guests to run around and meet new friends. There will be ball pits and glow sticks to play with, as well as dog sofas where party-goers can put their paws up if the excitement becomes too much.
Organisers Pawesome Parties says the disco will be a ‘first of its kind‘ family-friendly event with plenty to entertain both dogs and humans, with a full drinks menu, puppuccinos and competitions.
Local businesses will also set up ‘boutique stalls‘ on the day, so you and your canine pal can shop til you drop with a range of accessories, treats and so much more.
The Manchester Doggy Disco Party will have ticketed time slots available to book for separate breeds, then an ‘all pups’ free-for-all. The DMT Dachshund Rescue and Support charity are also welcomed along to events with over £3000 being raised for the UK-based dog charity.
Pawesome Parties’ event manager Leanne Ferguson said: “It is a big sensory experience for them socialising with other like-minded dogs and people.”
The events company has hosted several previous pet socials in the North West including special get-togethers for spaniels, cockapoos and dachshunds, so you can rest assured they really know what they’re doing.
The upcoming Doggy Disco Party at Gorilla will have sessions for dachshunds at 11am to 12.15pm on the day; followed by one for all pups from 12.30pm to 1.45pm, and the cockapoo/doodle session from 2pm to 3.15pm.
You can book tickets for families, extra people/dogs and lone dog-lovers here.
📍 The Doggy Disco Party will be held at Gorilla, 54-56 Whitworth St, Manchester M1 5WW.
