Dog Friendly Days Out for Autumn

🐶 Dogs are welcome at Spilman’s Pumpkin Festival where you’ll find lots of fun activities (including pumpkin slingshot) and a pumpkin patch. Selected dates across October.

🐶 Dogs can join you for a walk around the grounds at Beamish Museum. We love an autumn walk here! You can stop for refreshments with your dog in the Sun Inn Pub, Drovers Tavern or Cafe at the Museum Entrance.
