The world’s first dog-friendly cinema with ‘pawpcorn’ and dog treats has opened in Manchester

Dog owners and their pets can now enjoy the big screen experience together with a new miniature dog-friendly cinema, complete with a whole array of canine-tailored treats.

There’s nothing quite as good in life as curling up on the sofa in front of the telly with your four-legged best friend; so imagine doing that in the luxury of a cinema setting?

The new thirty-six seat venue, found at Ducie Street Warehouse, claims to be the first of its kind in the UK with its dedicated screenings of dog-friendly films like Bolt, Lady and the Tramp, and Homeward Bound.

Other doggy screenings coming up include Wes Anderson’s Isle of Dogs, Thor Freudenthal’s Hotel for Dogs and, of course, the iconic Lassie.

The ‘Mini-Cini’ screenings, which will take place every Monday evening, have lower sound levels and are more well-lit in order to take into account dogs’ sensitive hearing and to make them as comfortable as possible.

All tickets – priced at just £5pp – include tasty treats suitable for both humans and their dogs to enjoy throughout the movie.

The team has also hand picked a number of their favourite doggy snacks to be available on arrival at the venue’s ground floor.

And that isn’t all Ducie Street Warehouse has to offer for guests and their beloved pets; dogs are welcome throughout the venue, including the restaurant, terrace, bar, lounge and adjoining Native Hotel.
