A GROUP of 'doggy experts' who featured on the latest series of Dragons' Den are bringing their business to Taunton with three dog café events.

On Sunday January 7 2024, the Pitcher & Piano on Corporation Street will temporarily become home to a huge number friendly dogs and their owners.

Organised by Pop + Bark, the event encourages dog owners to bring along their pups to take photos, socialise, enjoy some food and drink, and browse the stalls.

Future dog owners are also welcome to come along and ask questions to expert owners and fellow dog lovers.

Three events will be held throughout the day, one specifically for Dachshunds, another for Golden Retrievers, and a third for Cockapoos.

A spokesperson for Pop + Bark said: "Come join us and bask in the love and joy of these adorable dogs!

"Whether you're considering getting a Dachshund of your own or simply want to spend time with these dogs, our event is the perfect place to do just that.

"With so many passionate and knowledgeable owners on hand to answer your questions, you'll be able to learn everything you need to know about this wonderful breed.

"Dogs are off-lead and free to roam and enjoy lots of attention.

"With lots of happy dogs all in one space, there really is no better place to be."
