Enjoy a little green space amidst outer space with a dog walk at Jodrell Bank!

On Sunday 22 March, we’re opening our doors to four-legged friends for a special dog-friendly day out. Bring your pup along for a scenic stroll through our beautiful Cheshire countryside grounds and enjoy the fresh air together.

Supervised dogs on leads are welcome inside the Planet Café, the Orrery, the gift shop and, of course, our arboretum, offering a chance to connect with nature against the backdrop of the historic Lovell Telescope.

Simply book general admission (or a returning visitor ticket if you’re an Annual Ticket holder) and bring your roving Rover along for the adventure!

Need-to-knows

  • Dogs must be kept on a lead and supervised at all times.
  • Dogs will not be permitted inside the First Light, Star, or Space Pavilions.
  • Please ensure you pick up after your dogs and dispose of any waste.
