Bark at the Park!

Ruff and Tumble is celebrating their 10 year anniversary by holding a big birthday bash at Holkham. Bring your dog and come and join in the fun!

Ruff and Tumble are market leaders in dog Drying Coats, and have a range of fantastic products from Leads, Bed Covers and Mitts, to Shampoo, Spritz and Sofa Throws – all designed and made with you and your dog in mind.

Come and join us with your four-legged friends on Saturday 19th August from 11am–4pm for their birthday party. There’ll be some local stallholders selling a range of items from dog leads and drying coats to pet portraits and dog-friendly cakes, as well as demos, a fun dog show, a helpful talks tent, have-a-go arena and the chance to partake in various party games.

Dogs are more than welcome, but please keep them on leads and do not leave them in the car – especially on a hot August day! There will be dog bowls and limited shady spots about.
