Trial Dog-Friendly Policy – Visitor Rules

We need your help to make it work for everyone.
To ensure a safe, clean, and peaceful experience for all visitors, please follow these rules:

Dogs must be:
- Well-behaved and kept on a short, non-extendable lead at all times
- Under control – no excessive barking, jumping, digging, or roaming
- Accompanied by a responsible adult owner at all times
- Kept away from drinking or entering any of the water features (including all pools) due to chlorine

Please clean up after your dog:
- Pick up all waste immediately using your own dog bags **
- Please use the dedicated dog waste bins located throughout the garden
- Do not allow your dog to wee on plants or flowerbeds

Dogs are not permitted in:
- Lilidorei
- The Poison Garden
- Any indoor areas, except the Atrium

Important considerations:
- Ducks roam freely – if your dog has a strong prey drive, we recommend not bringing them
- No access to cafés, shops, toilets, or other indoor areas
- Please do not leave your dog tied up unattended

A few reminders:
- The Alnwick Garden are not liable for injury caused by visiting dogs to other visiting dogs, people, or wildlife
- Please respect visitors who may be fearful of or allergic to dogs
- Dogs found causing damage or distress may be asked to leave The Garden

We will provide:
- Doggy drinking water stations
- Dedicated bins for dog waste
