A popular dog café, previously featured on the BBC’s Dragons' Den, is set to launch a special event in Somerset this May. Dog lovers and their furry companions can attend a unique pup paw-ty at the Library bar in Taunton, with a focus on Cocker Spaniels alongside sessions for other beloved breeds including pugs, dachshunds, Golden Retrievers, Labradors, and Cockapoos.
Pop+Bark, the creators behind this innovative concept, promise an exciting 80-minute off-leash experience tailored to each breed. For Cocker Spaniels, the event offers a safe and playful environment to mingle with fellow dogs, destroy fresh toys, chase bubbles and balls, enjoy tasty treats, and strike poses for fun photo opportunities.
Highlighting the event is their exclusive “Pupuccino Bar,” serving dog-friendly beverages topped with delights such as blueberries, cheesy biscuits, and gravy bones. Adding to the festive atmosphere is a “Cosmic Disco” theme, featuring sparkles, spacesuits, and intergalactic glam to make the celebration truly out of this world.

The event welcomes not only dog owners but also Cocker Spaniel enthusiasts who may be considering getting a dog or simply wish to enjoy canine company.
Pop+Bark founders Anushka Fernando and James Morgan shared their heartfelt inspiration behind the business on the 2023 Dragons' Den series. Their beloved pug, Bertie, missed early socialization due to illness, prompting them to organize breed-specific meet-ups that evolved into nationwide themed events celebrating various dog breeds.
Anushka says, “While we host events for popular breeds like Golden Retrievers, introducing dedicated gatherings for Cocker Spaniels in London was a wonderful surprise. Taunton’s vibrant dog-loving community made it the perfect place to bring this celebration further.”
Join the fun on Sunday, May 25, at the Library bar in Taunton for a memorable day of tail-wagging joy. Spaces are limited, so book early to secure your spot at the happiest dog party around!
