PAWSOME POOCH DOG WEEKEND RETURNS TO CLARKS VILLAGE at Clarks Village

Clarks Village’s Pawsome
Pooch dog-friendly weekend is set to return this September.

Back by paw-pular
demand, the much-loved canine event will bring a paw-packed programme of free activities
guaranteed to get tails wagging, alongside the search for the next ‘CEO’ of Clarks
Village – which is officially the UK's most dog-friendly shopping centre.

Taking place on
Saturday 12^th and Sunday 13^th September, guests and their
dogs can look forward to dazzling dog trick and agility displays, interactive have-a-go
sessions, pet pampering, a pup pick ‘n’ mix station, live paw-trait
illustrations – and plenty more furry fun throughout the weekend.

Pooches will also
have the chance to strike a pose during free photo shoots with professional pet
photographers, as Clarks Village searches for its next top dog. Every pup taking
part will receive will be gifted a complimentary digital photo from Clarks
Village and be entered into its competition to become its next CEO – Canine
Executive Officer that is. 

A panel of
discerning dog-loving judges will select a shortlist of 10 finalists from the
event, before the public is invited to cast their votes across Clarks Village’s
social channels. The winner will be crowned with the coveted CEO title, taking
charge of all things dog-related at Clarks Village, as well as winning a prize
package worth up to £500.

The 2026 champion
will take the lead from last year’s winner and current CEO, Archie the golden
miniature dachshund.

Dogs receive a warm
welcome throughout Clarks Village, with plenty of opportunities to enjoy fresh
air in its outdoor malls and stunning landscaped gardens, as well as within many
of its retail brands, plus indoor and outdoor dog-friendly dining.

As testament to
its doggy credentials, Clarks Village has been voted the UK’s most dog-friendly
shopping centre at the DogFriendly Awards – a title it’s held for two consecutive
years.

Mike Jones,
Centre Director of Clarks Village, commented: “We’re excited to announce the
return of Pawsome Pooch, our fun-filled, dog-friendly weekend which has quickly
become one of our most popular events of the year.

“While the outlet
is dog friendly all year round, this event gives us the opportunity to
celebrate our canine guests and families and treat them to a packed programme
of activities guaranteed to give every dog something to bark about.”
