More scruff than Crufts: Running order confirmed, Brockwell Bark Dog Show Landing in Brockwell Park, Bank Holiday Monday 4th May 2026

Brockwell Bark returns to Brockwell Park on Monday 4th May 2026 from 2-5 pm on the Brockwell Hall lawn, culminating with the Mayor of Lambeth awarding Best in Show.

We’re buzzing to see what vegetable sculpture our crafty locals come up with – doggo themed or just wherever your imagination goes.

The deadline for delivery of creations on site is 13:30 before the show competition kicks off at 2pm, hosted by local MC & music promoter Lauren Louise Powell.

A selection of much loved local independent businesses will be serving food & drink on site from 12:30, including icons such as Maureen’s Kitchen, Minus 12 Craft Icecream, Utter Waffle, The Bullfinch, The Glassmaker’s Cafe and Wild & Lees.

What a lineup!

It’s free to attend but a small donation registers your dog, and all profits go to the Blue Cross.

Tails, treats and terrible costume puns guaranteed.
