Dog on the Tyne
NE1’s free, fun day out on the Quayside for our four-legged friends and their humans
After a successful debut in 2024, NE1’s Dog on the Tyne has become a popular event in Newcastle’s summer calendar, offering a free and fun day out on the Quayside for dog parents and their pups.
From dog yoga sessions and selfie stations, an agility course and market stalls, it’s a celebration of all things canine and a must-do for dog owners and their four-legged friends.
Now back for its third year, Dog on the Tyne is bigger and better than ever before with several new additions to look forward to when it returns to Wesley Square on Newcastle Quayside on Saturday 1st August 2026 from 11am to 3pm - including breed-specific dog walks and the first-ever Wag Awards, a dog show hosted by the wonderful Alfie Joey featuring categories like Waggiest Tail, Best Dog Trick and Best Dog-Owner Lookalikes with rosettes and certificates for winners.
