Three words – a dog festival. Well, that’s us sold, but if you want to hear a wee bit more about the upcoming brand-new event, keep reading. Barklove is launching its first-ever furry friend affair in Glasgow, bringing dogs, dog owners and their enthusiasts all in one place. The full programme has now been announced, offering a barking fantastic programme.
SWG in Glasgow is hosting Barklove this summer on Sunday, July 5, and the whole thing is just a “one-of-a-kind” celebration of dogs. Guests can expect “an unforgettable experience for dog enthusiasts, whether you’re a proud pup parent or simply a big dog fan”.

Barklove is taking over the entire SWG3 complex, with indoor and outdoor spaces, showcasing a dynamic mix of dog-friendly activities and entertainment, dog care demonstrations, wellbeing classes, dog portraits and a curated market of pet-focused products.
Jenn Nimmo-Smith, founder, said: “Creating Barklove and seeing it come to life was a real dream come true. Combining my lifelong love of dogs with my background in events felt like a natural fit, and nothing beats spending time in the company of dogs. Bringing Barklove back to SWG3 on Sunday 5 July feels like the perfect way to spend a summer day, and I cannot wait to welcome dogs and dog lovers back together again.”

While ticket detailshave now been announced, further details on the events and vendors will come in due course, and it looks like it’s going to be a blast.
