Important Information before visiting the House
Prams, Strollers and Bags
Prams and strollers are not allowed on the State Floor or Below Stairs to protect our collections and floors from damage.
We advise bringing baby slings or carriers to transfer children into if you wish to visit the House.
Prams and strollers will need to be left in vehicles before entering the House.
Hire Harewood’s baby carriers
We have two hip baby carriers which visitors can borrow for carrying little ones around the House.
As well as three pop up prams that can be used by visitors as an alternative to their own prams for use inside the House only.
These items are available on a first come first served basis and cannot be booked in advance.
Large Bags and Suitcases
Large bags and Suitcases are not permitted in the House and will need to be left in vehicles.
Visiting Harewood with your dog
Harewood offers plenty of space for dogs and their owners to enjoy time together. With lots of areas to sniff and explore, there are wonderful walks for the whole family, especially our four-legged friends. We recommend the Three Parks Walk, a stroll along the Lakeside Path towards the Bothy Teahouse and Walled Garden, or enjoying the views from the Terrace Garden before heading down to explore the ruins of Gawthorpe Hall at Sunside.
Dogs are warmly welcomed in designated outdoor areas across the site. They are welcome to accompany you into the Courtyard Café servery to place your order, after which we ask that you enjoy your food in the dog-friendly seating areas (both inside and out).
To help protect the historic interiors and ensure the safety and enjoyment of all guests, dogs (with the exception of Assistance Dogs) are not permitted in the House, the indoor areas of the Terrace Café, Woodland Wonderland, or the Adventure Playground.
We look forward to welcoming you and your dog to Harewood.
Dogs must be kept on leads
We warmly welcome all dogs to Harewood, but for the safety and comfort of our visitors, as well as the protection of our free-roaming wildlife, we kindly ask that dogs are kept on a lead at all times while on site. Staff are required to politely enforce this rule across the site.
