How it works?
Held on the third Sunday of every month, you are welcome to join us with or without a dog. To keep everyone comfortable and safe, we only accept a maximum of 6 dogs per walk and you will need to book a ticket for each dog that you intend to bring. The first part of the walk is on lead with well adjusted dogs being invited to be off lead thereafter. The route is generally flat with some parts moving away from designated pathways. Please wear appropriate footwear for muddy terrain.

Booking:
Dogs attend for FREE but we invite a minimum donation of £1 per person with the promise a lot of doggie treats in return!

We've also established a Discretionary Fund enabling individuals facing financial barriers to attend for FREE. Please select 'I want to access the Discretionary Fund' at point of sale.

Whether it's a humble pound or a generous sum, your support is invaluable to us. Your contribution covers essential costs and supports the continuation of our work in the community.

Please note: You can book on behalf of a maximum of 3 dogs and 2 people before a new booking is needed.
