Can I bring my dog on the veteran bus?

Yes, dogs are welcome inside the main Visitor Reception building! As you enter, you'll notice a poster that politely reminds you 'Dogs are welcome, just not in the buildings.' At the till, our staff will explain the rules and provide you with a handout with all the information. If needed, we offer complimentary biodegradable poop scoop bags. A spare lead is also available if required.

Dogs are welcome to join their owners wandering around the shop located in the Visitor Reception building. Various dog-related items are for sale so you can even treat your furry friend!
