Kennel Klub is the pup-dedicated bar social where the pack gathers to bark, chew and be dog, and its Halloween edition drops at The Bulldog in Brighton on Saturday 25 October 2026. Run by the team behind the Doggy Weekend weekender, Kennel Klub is a regular, low-pressure night out built entirely for pups, handlers and the curious, with a North edition in Manchester and a South edition in Brighton. If you want to try pup play without committing to a full festival, Kennel Klub is the easy way in.
Kennel Klub runs through the year across two cities: the North nights at Bar Pop in Manchester and the South nights at The Bulldog in Brighton. The format is simple and welcoming, a friendly bar social where pups can turn up in gear, meet the local pack and settle into headspace among people who get it. Themed editions punctuate the calendar, from Pride nights in the summer to Halloween in October and Christmas in December.
The Halloween night at The Bulldog in Brighton on 25 October 2026 is one of the season’s highlights, with the pack turning out in spooky gear for one of the year’s most playful editions. As a recurring social rather than a ticketed festival, it is an approachable, come-as-you-are night, ideal for newer pups finding their feet.
Kennel Klub shares its team with Doggy Weekend, the Manchester pup weekender, so the two feed the same community: the socials keep the pack connected through the year, and the weekender is the big annual gathering. Following Kennel Klub is also a good way to keep an eye on the wider UK pup scene and its dates.
Kennel Klub Halloween 2026 takes place on Saturday 25 October 2026 at The Bulldog on St James’s Street, Brighton, in the evening. Kennel Klub also runs regular North editions at Bar Pop in Manchester; the full up-to-date calendar of both editions is on the official site, so check there for the latest dates and any entry details. It is run by Big Red Bone Ltd.
A friendly, recurring, pup-only bar social makes Kennel Klub the perfect low-key counterpart to the big festivals. It is welcoming to newcomers, easy to reach in two cities and rooted in a genuine local pack. For a relaxed night in gear, or a first step into pup play, Kennel Klub is a great place to start.
