Dog Days are back at The Alnwick Garden!
Come along with your furry friend for a pawfect day out every Thursday and Sunday.
*Please note that dogs will still be allowed access to the walkway between the two entrances from Alnwick Town and Denwick Lane outside of our set ‘Dog Days’, and our Bakery welcomes dogs (on leads) every day.
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 and The Bakery.
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
