Dog’s day at tivoli
Sep 13; Tivoli; over-8s: 99kr, under-8s: free adm, multiride wristband: 209kr; tivoli.dk
Treat the kids to a Tivoli they will barely recognise on September 13 (a week before it closes down until October 9).
Every dog has its day, or so they say, and Tivoli will quite literally have gone to the dogs.
Unsuspecting guests may feel they are barking up the wrong tree as hundreds of man’s best friends have the chance to go walkies in Tivoli.
Together with the Danish Kennel Club, Tivoli opens its dog doors for owners to meet other like-minded souls, chat about their breeds and take in the pedigree parade. (PS)

Sep 26; Amager Strandpark, Cph S; entry: 895kr; toughest.se
It’s no walk in the park – Amager Strandpark hosts an 8km 40-obstacle course where only the fittest will survive. Jump, swing, balance and climb your way to the finishing line or just hold your breath and watch safely from the sidelines. (PS)
CPH Chamber Music Festival
