A pop-up café for sausage dogs is coming to Sheffield - here's everything you need to know

The pets – fondly called sausage dogs – are well-liked for their compact size, sweet appearance and friendly nature.

And now a pop-up café dedicated to the breed is coming to Sheffield, where people can meet dozens of dachshunds in one place.

Pup Up Café: Dachshund Edition is happening on Saturday, March 15, at Revolution Sheffield on Fitzwilliam Street.

More than 65 dogs and their owners have already been booked in, organisers say – and all guests need to do is secure tickets and receive their time slot of at least an hour before enjoying the fun.

Photo opportunities and competitions are promised at the event, where people will be able to mingle with up to 50 dachshunds per session.

Unlimited dog treats will be available, along with endless free ‘puppuccinos’ for pets too.

Dachshund-related trade stands will sell gifts, and there will be ball pits and tunnels for the animal stars to play with.

It is the second event of its kind devoted to the breed happening in Sheffield – the first took place last summer. The Pup Up Café team also hold days devoted to French bulldogs and pugs.

“Do you love Dachshunds? Do you enjoy seeing many little sausages in the same place? Looking for your little pup to make some sausage friends? Come and join us for a sausage-mad day," the organisers say.

“Your reserved time session will be emailed to you prior to the event. Space is available at a first come first served basis. Our events are usually very busy so if you're joining, grab a ticket. We look forward to seeing you and all of your furry friends soon.”

Children aged under eight, and dogs, go free – but dogs still need a ticket.

Tickets for dachshund owners cost £8 each, with a maximum of two owner tickets per dog.

Meanwhile tickets for non-owners are priced £12 each.
