Pooch Passport Explorers

Embrace the crunchy leaves and frosty mornings this Autumn and Winter with your pooch pal by your side. Complete your pooch passport with ten stamps to claim your reward. A paw-fect way to enjoy the great outdoors together.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Has your dog got what it takes to collect all ten stamps in a paw-some adventure passport?

Between 1 September 2026 and 28 February 2027, every time you and your dog visit a different place we look after, you can get a stamp in the passport.

Once you've collected five stamps, your dog can get a free packet of natural dog treats. When you've collected ten stamps, you can get an exclusive Pooch Passport pin badge.

Dogs are welcome on most of our seasonal guided walks too so why not check our events pages for more details of upcoming themes?

We have a dog friendly seating space in the café and at the back of the play area if your little explorers come along too.

Please note only assistance dogs are allowed in the conservatory and all dogs must be kept on a short fixed length lead at all times.
