Lepe Bark on the Beach

Bark on the Beach at Lepe Country PArk

Saturday 13 June 2026
10:00 to 15:00

This June Lepe Country Park are proud to present to you our ‘Bark on the Beach’ dog show.

Join us for a fantastic day by the sea, featuring stalls from the New Forest Dog Group, a range of local handmade businesses, and a special appearance from NCI’s mascot, Spot the Watchkeeper. There will even be a fun dog agility course for your four-legged friends to enjoy!

Keep your pups cool with our dedicated cooling station, and don’t miss the chance to snap a memorable photo of them on our ‘Coolest Dog at Lepe’ podium.

Bring a picnic for you and your pup, or enjoy the refreshments available from The Lookout, including our Doggy Ice-Cream!

This event will be held on the clifftop and there are plenty of dog waste bins around our country park.
