There’s a miniature dog cinema in Manchester selling ‘pawpcorn’, dog chews and treats

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

The thirty-six seat venue, found at Ducie Street Warehouse, claims to be the first of its kind in the UK and has even dedicated screenings on Monday nights where they show dog-friendly films like Bolt, Lady and the Tramp, and Homeward Bound.

Other doggy screenings coming up include Wes Anderson’s Isle of Dogs, Christopher Guest’s Best In Show, and Chris Sanders’ The Call of the Wild.

On these Monday nights, the mini boutique cinema screenings 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.

The cinema has also partnered with the Northern Quarter’s newest dog store, Dog Shop Manchester, who will be selling their carefully curated hampers of doggy treats worth £25 – and, better yet, if you’re spending the night at Native, you and your pet will be gifted one of the hampers for free.

The hampers come filled with two meat treat packs supplied by Hugo & Co, a biscuit pack from Lola’s Little Bakery, a roll of compostable doggy bags supplied by Fetch It, one paw cleanser with cloth, and one small soft toy or ball.

The team has also hand picked a number of their favourite doggy treats to be available to guests on arrival at Ducie Street’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.
