Dogs who can enjoy a 12-acre ‘paradise of wildlife and beautiful flowers’ this summer

Dog owners will be able to walk their furry friends through 12 acres of gardens during special “dog days” this summer. Easton Walled Gardens, just over the Leicestershire border in Lincolnshire, will again be holding dog days on Sundays in August.

Dogs are not usually allowed in the gardens, which are more than 400 years old. But from 2pm to 5pm on the last day of the week throughout August, pets will be able to enjoy a “paradise of wildlife and beautiful flowers”.

In addition to the gardens, if you fancy a bite to eat, The Coffee Room will be open for homemade cakes and refreshments. For savory dishes, the Apple Store sells Sausage Rolls and Quiche during restricted hours from 12pm to 3pm.

The Courtyard Store will be open to customers, selling gardening accessories and tools, gifts for friends, greeting cards and kitchenware. Stationery store, Griffin of Easton will also be open for customers.

Normal entry prices to the gardens will apply, adults can enter for £10 and children for £4. Under 4s are free, as are dogs.

Free parking is also available. Easton asked owners to “bring only socialized dogs that are not in season.”
