Hundreds of cockapoos and cavapoos descended on Down Hall Hotel Spa and Estate on Sunday for a luxury outdoor dog event.

Hosted by canine events company Pop & Bark - which provides breed-specific parties and experiences - the event saw 300 pampered pooches enjoy a dedicated Pupuccino Bar and a doggy barbecue while their owners explored an outdoor shopping market.
