Bark in the Park

Land of Oak & Iron is the perfect place to take your 4 legged friends for a walk – our Heritage Centre is dog friendly and we even have a doggie treat menu too!

To celebrate our 4 legged visitor friends, we are organising this event especially for them (and their human folk). Join us in and around the Courtyard for our fun Dog Show – there are different categories such as dog with the waggiest tail, best dressed, dog most like their owner and best trick along with an award for the best in show. Booking link coming soon!

We will also have some doggie themed stalls, including tasty baked goodies from David’s Dog Deli, dog accessories, toys and pet food from Mammies Biscuit Dog Bakery, pet portraits with Lavinia Hunter, dog photography with Gayle Hall Dog Photography and healthy pet food with Husse.

Summer Dog Walk (time to be confirmed): Join Heather with your pooch on a walk through the beautiful lower Derwent Valley and back to the Heritage Centre again. Heather is our friendly local dog warden and she can tell you all sorts of interesting things … did you know different coloured leads have different meanings? Heather can also give advice about dog socialisation and will try to answer any questions you may have about dog walking in the area.

Trick for a Treat: Ask your pooch to do a paw shake or trick for one of team members, to be rewarded with a little doggie treat!
We would love to see photographs or films of your pooch at the Heritage Centre – so please upload to our Facebook page for a chance to be our ‘Dog of the Month’.
More details of Bark in the Park and dog show booking link coming soon as we plan the details, so pop the date in your diary and watch this space and our Facebook page for updates!
