A sausage dog cafe is coming to Manchester - for one day only

Dog lovers are in luck as a sausage dog pop-up cafe is set to open in the city centre next month.

The Dachshund Cafe is coming to town to celebrate the release of The Secret Life of Pets 2.

Yet you'll have to be quick as the cafe is open for one day only on Sunday May 19.

The event, which will take place at The Refinery Spinningfields, will welcome fans of sausage dogs, as well as owners, for a day to enjoy cake and the company of furry friends.

The cafe offers sausage dogs a "truly unique cafe experience" (Newcastle Chronicle)

It is being organised by Pug Cafe who create pop-up events across cities in the UK dedicated originally to pugs.

They say on their website: "We want to give your beloved pet a truly unique cafe experience and focus on providing a menu dedicated to dogs and creating a safe space to meet fellow pups, and play and run around."

The dogs will get their own 'doggy menu' with DOGnuts, PUPcakes, PAW Star Martinis, PAWsecco and POMpops on offer.

Ever-growing in popularity, the Dachshund breed, known as the 'sausage dog', last year took the 17th spot in the top 100 most popular breeds in the UK, following a survey of 10,000 people by ITV.

A giant inflatable maze of light and colour will appear at Salford Quays as part of a summer festival  

How to get your paws on a ticket

Tickets for the pop-up sausage dog cafe are now on sale and you can choose between two 70-minute time slots; either 11:15am or 5:30pm.
