Our Dog Policy

We’re delighted to welcome guide, hearing, and assistance dogs—including those in training—to Alnwick Castle. Please keep them on a short lead during your visit.

If you have one, please bring your Assistance Dogs (UK) ID book or an international equivalent.

To help protect our historic spaces and ensure a relaxing experience for all our guests, staff, and performers, we kindly ask that other dogs, including emotional support animals, are not brought into the castle. However, there are plenty of beautiful dog-friendly walks nearby, including the scenic pastures just across the river.
