Willen Lake announces return of Big Doggie Do event

The Parks Trust has announced the return of their annual dog-themed spectacular the Big Doggie Do.

The event takes place at Willen Lake on Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 May, packed with pooch-themed shows, displays, activities, talks, stalls, food and more.

Grab the lead for walkies to Willen Lake and play fetch at flyball, make a splash at the pup-ular dock diving, or enjoy some tasty treats on the lawn. MK’s furry four-legged friends are invited (with their humans) to enter the spectacular dog show sponsored by MK Vet Group – register on the day, just £1 per entry.

Visitors can pick up tips from expert-led talks in the Club Tent, explore stalls with dog-related services and products, as well as chances to meet with local charities. It’s guaranteed fun for all the family too, as children can enjoy colouring activities, an art and craft session, and a dog trivia quiz with a chance to win a prize!

Sandra Adjei, Events & Community Engagement Assistant at The Parks Trust said, “Big Doggie Do brings together families, pet owners, local organisations, and charities for a joyful, educational, and tail-wagging weekend. We know that the city’s parks are popular with the pups and pooches of MK, and we’re looking forward to seeing them and their owners revelling in all the canine festivities!”

Running 12pm-5pm on Saturday and 11am-4pm on Sunday, Big Doggie Do is one of the most popular free events in The Parks Trust calendar and a true celebration of one of the largest park user groups – dogs, and their walkers and owners.
