Dogs are in for a real treat this April as Cotswolds Designer Outlet hosts Four-Legged Fortnight – a three-weekend celebration packed with fun-filled events for visitors and their furry friends.
Since opening in July 2025, Cotswolds Designer Outlet has established itself as a shopping destination that proudly welcomes dogs, and now it is inviting shoppers to bring along their companions to enjoy a series of dog days out. Starting with a special Easter event on Sunday, 12th April, from 10:30am to 4:30pm, where dogs can take part in an exciting Easter Sniffari Treat Trail created by Tewkesbury-based dog nutrition experts SweetPea’s Doggy Deli. Dogs will be able to sniff out delicious surprises along the trail, making it a perfect Easter outing for the whole family.
Saturday, April 18, sees a variety of doggy trade stalls that will be located throughout the outlet, offering everything from gourmet treats and stylish accessories to little luxuries to spoil your furry friend. There will also be a range of interactive activities to enjoy together, including the return of a Sniffari Treat Trail, fun games, scent work sessions, and competitions designed to bring out your dog’s personality. Pick up some handy tips and techniques from dog experts.
“We warmly welcome visitors and their dogs to Cotswolds Designer Outlet, recognising dogs as important guests too. Four-Legged Fortnight is a celebration of this spirit, a time for our pets to be pampered and enhance the shopping experience through new vendors and fun activities. Whether a regular guest or visiting for the first time, everyone is welcome to join us for these special weekends.”
Adrian Field, Centre Manager at Cotswolds Designer Outlet
On Saturday, April 25th, the celebrations will continue with a community event that brings dog lovers together for a shared experience full of joy, doggy cuteness, and plenty of tail-wagging fun. The day will begin with a dog parade at 11am, inviting owners and their four-legged friends to take part in a relaxed but stylish lap of the outlet. Dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities are warmly welcomed with treats for the first 100 pups, plus treats for their owners, too! Following the parade, guests can make their way to the dedicated Dog Selfie Chair, where dog owners have the chance to capture the perfect snap of their pup. Visit the chair between 11.30am and 2pm to have your canine companion photographed. They could be in the running to be crowned V.I.Pup and become the official Dog Ambassador of the Year, a public vote and special honour that comes with exclusive invites and special treats throughout the year.
Be sure to treat yourself too; enjoy the premium boutiques, cafes, and restaurants—a day out that both you and your dog deserve. Fun days of shopping, discovery, and tail-wagging excitement.
