Rare chance for dogs to visit RHS Harlow Carr

Thursday, 9 July 2026 08:04

Dogs are being invited to explore RHS Harlow Carr.

Dog owners will have a rare opportunity to explore Harrogate's RHS Harlow Carr with their four-legged friends next week.

Dogs are not usually allowed in the Harrogate gardens, but the popular 'Walkies at Harlow Carr' event returns on Wednesday (15th July), giving visitors the chance to enjoy a special after-hours event.

The event runs from 5pm until 7.30pm, with last entry at 6.30pm, and there's no need to book in advance.

Visitors can wander through the gardens while enjoying the peaceful evening surroundings, with snacks and refreshments available.

Bettys Tea House will remain open until 7.30pm, although the Garden Centre, Bettys Café Tea Rooms and the shop will close at their usual times.

Dogs are only permitted in the gardens during official Walkies events.

A maximum of two dogs are allowed per visitor, with all dogs required to be kept on a short lead.

Owners are also asked to clean up after their pets using the bins provided.

Entry is free for RHS members. For non-members, admission costs £7 for adults and £3 for children, while dogs can attend free of charge.

Find out more about the event here.
