Can we bring our dog/s to the Jail with us?

Can we bring our dog/s to the Jail with us?

Dogs are allowed on site, which means they can join you in the courtyard, The Courtyard Bistro, hotel, and gift shop. Sadly, due to the nature of the attraction, we have to ask that you don't bring your pup into the museum. The loud noises and sudden movements might be too much for their sensitive ears.

We love our furry friends here at Bodmin Jail, but we also want to make sure that every guest has a safe and enjoyable visit. That's why we kindly ask that you assign someone as a designated dog watcher to take care of your pup while the rest of your group explore the museum. This way, your furry friend can relax and enjoy some well-deserved rest and relaxation.
