Dog-Friendly Liverpool Events in October
September is here, but there’s no need for the dog-friendly adventures to slow down.
There’s plenty happening across Liverpool, Wirral and the wider North West this month. From doggy brunches and summer fairs to waterfront walks, there are lots of reasons to get out together.
And we’ve got a busy month ourselves at The Liver Dog.
We’re hosting two events during September, including our Wellness Club and another chance to join our Networking Club.
So, diaries at the ready. Here’s what’s coming up this month.
The Liver Dog Events This September
Wednesday 28th October, 2pm
Permit Rooms, Liverpool City Centre
Our Liver Dog Lunch Club is getting a Halloween makeover. 🎃🐶
Come along for lunch, meet new people and enjoy a relaxed afternoon with your dog by your side.
There are no stiff introductions or awkward networking games. Instead, it’s about good food, easy conversation and bringing together local dog-loving people.
Lunch, bottomless chai and pup cups are part of the experience, so our four-legged guests aren’t being forgotten either.
And because it’s Halloween, we’re very much encouraging dressed-up dogs.
Whether your dog arrives as a pumpkin, ghost or something far more ambitious, we want to see it.
It’s a great chance to escape the usual routine, make some new connections and enjoy lunch with people who completely understand why your dog came too.

Dog-Friendly Cinema: Heart of the Beast
Sunday 11th October, 10:30am
Chester Picturehouse
Going to the cinema normally means leaving your dog at home. Not this time.
Chester Picturehouse is hosting a dog-friendly screening of Heart of the Beast. The cinema keeps the lighting slightly brighter and lowers the soundtrack volume for these special screenings. Picturehouse
Dogs can sit on a provided fleece or settle on the floor beside you.
Dobbies Pup-kin Patch
