Watch a Cosy Christmas Movie with your Dog at the Dot Movie Theatre!

This Christmas, why not try a truly doggy friendly screening of Elf at The Dot Theatre on the 21st of December?

Due to popular demand, organisers of the first ever Irish doggy friendly screening, @TheDailyCavalier, have organised another chance for you to watch a movie with your pooch – this time showing a Christmas special – Elf!

The first screening was held earlier in the year, and more than 20 dogs and their owners showed up to watch Lady and the Tramp. The 39-seats cinema screen was fully hired out to pet lovers across the capital, and there were even free treats for both human and canine guests – boxes of unsalted, unbuttered popcorn. Since then, several other screenings took place with great success.

The dog-friendly screening is described as a place “where dogs and their owners gather to watch a movie or a show in a dog-friendly environment.”

When & Where

The event will take place at The Dot Theatre in 6A Pembroke Place in Dublin 2 at 2pm.

Additional Information

Organisers ask that each pooch is well-behaved and toilet trained, with owners encouraged to bring a blanket, leash, water bowl, poop bags, and toys if they need them.

Treats are also permitted inside, although dog lovers are asked not to feed anyone else’s four-legged friend.

“Please bear in mind the temperament of your dog and whether they would be comfortable to visit the cinema with other dogs and watching a doggy/animal themed movie on the big screen,” The Daily Cavalier writes on the event page.

“As it is a doggy screening, some barking at the movie is expected. However if your dog is becoming distressed, it may be best to bring them outside away from the movie.”

Tickets

Tickets are €14.00 per human, and dogs go free. You can buy them through eventbrite.ie, under this link.
