It’s sometimes difficult to leave a dog at home when you go shopping. It’s great that Friars Square have made life easier by allowing dogs.
Joan O'Donnell, October 2025
One of the only indoor shopping centres to allow dogs.
Natalie McWilliams, October 2025

Cause I can take my dog for photo with santa at Christmas and its just a nice thing I get to do with her we've started a collection of snow globes 🤭

The whole family can shop together.
Molly Schofield, October 2025
We have used friars square to train our dog to be calm in public settings. Its the perfect place to go to dog classes to practice and all the staff are welcoming. The dog bowls are always clean and topped up with water and the clear dog friendly signage allows us to explore without confusion of the spaces we can use. Excellent place, regular visitor.
Jane Holmes, October 2025
Great charity partner for Medical Detection Dogs. Dogs always welcome.

For my dog to have extra walkies
Magritha Douglas, October 2025
I am allowed to take my old doggy in as I can not leave him at home. He has Diabetes 1, is blind plus plus and need constant monitoring and care. I can shop stressless cause he is with me in his stroller. Only the two of us so nobody can look after him when I shop.
Pleasure to shop there.
Ashley Judge, October 2025
Our spaniel Flo loves being in the centre. She only has 3 legs and is 14 so we push her in a buggy. It’s all new sights and sounds and smells and she loves meeting shoppers.

Rachel Acres, October 2025
I come here for exposure training for my pup, it’s great to see how happy it makes others. It’s nice to bring my furry friend along on my errands and feel like he’s welcome in shops not just tolerated. The water stations are a lovely touch and the stickers in shop windows are really helpful too.

I have been able to train and socialise my dalmatian puppy there. It's made such a difference, having a central cafe where we can go and learn to be calm (whilst enjoying great coffee) has allowed puppy to gain fantastic experience and confidence.
Janine Brooks, September 2025
Because it's wonderful we can bring our dog along shopping with us and even better we can all have a coffee together, well done friar's square, we only wish we could do the same Hale leys shopping and in other towns shopping centers.
Elaine Kettlewell, September 2025
Only shopping mall around to allow dogs
Anna-Marie Bailes, September 2025
My dog gets extremely anxious when left at home alone so it’s great for me to be able to visit shops and bring my little dog with me. Many people have dogs for companionship, so it’s important not to isolate those people from society by not allowing dogs. Well done Friars Square Shopping Centre.
Sara Simmonds, September 2025
Love being able to take our dog out with us when shopping.
Laura Peterson, September 2025
Dogs are part of the family. And since getting our now 4month old puppy, being able to take her along on trips into town to help her get used to sounds, smells and people has been imperative in her training and our bonding as a family. Thank you Friars.
Kirsty Gunn, September 2025
Always clean and friendly staff throughout
Rebecca Ibbotson, September 2025
Its a lovely dog friendly place with water bowls and accommodating shops.

I think this is a fantastic idea to show support of being a dog friendly establishment by providing refreshing stations for the dogs and showing which shops I can take my dog into within the centre. I was so pleased when this became a thing.

It's always a welcoming centre, with lot's to do and places to sit. The restaurants welcome dogs even with dog treats, it's a good destination for my mum and dad to come with the dog for us to walk around.
Theresa Corcoran, October 2024
My two labradoodles love a trip to Friar Square. They are always made a fuss about from the lovely people who work in the dog friendly shops to all the people doing their shopping. There are plenty of opportunities to stop for a treat and water bowls are about if they need to stop for a drink. It’s always nice to see other dogs in Friar Square too.
Rachael Webster, October 2024

Mel Simpson, September 2024
Since Friars Square Shopping Centre has become dog friendly, it has opened up an opportunity to include my dog in many more aspects of my life. I hate leaving him at home and it’s fantastic being able to bring him with me to meet my friends for coffee!
Itzel Rivas, September 2024
Quite a few shops inside are also dog friendly, which is very helpful when running errands because I don’t have to leave my dog at home.

Kellie Clark-hughes, September 2024
It's so nice to bring our dog with us when we come shopping
Heather Munro, September 2024
It my local shopping centre and provides a wealth of activities and shops as well as being dog friendly.
Matt Davies, September 2024
The initiative has been a brilliant thing. It positively encourages bringing your (well behaved!) dog with you, and this makes us far more likely to support the businesses.
As an example, we always come with our dog and visit BB Muffins, where we get a great welcome with water, treats and even puppicino's - along with lots of love!
The other shoppers are always really welcoming of our little friend, and it's lovely to see children and other members of the public enjoying the comedy of him scrabbling on the floor, desperate to get to "his" treat shop!
Friars Square is a brilliant place for us and differentiates from the other shopping areas in town because of this initiative.
Sandra Norris, September 2024
Because it is dog friendly and a place to relax and shop
Ami Bagnall, August 2024
Great accessibility, welcoming staff and easy to understand which shops take part in this brilliant idea!

Lucy Saberton, November 2023
Not only do I take my adult dog there, but I also use friars square shopping centre to train and socialise my puppy.
Jackie Adderley, November 2023
It's so rare that dogs are allowed into indoor shopping malls, and I love the paw prints outside the dog friendly shops. Very welcoming, and clear enough so you don't intrude where they aren't wanted
Gina Dunseith, October 2023
It's my local town, and makes my life so much easier going with my little pooch! She gets a walk with me! X

Deborah Chew, October 2023
I have a lovely bully who enjoys sitting in the cafe with me. BBs were very welcoming. Shame the whole town isn’t dog friendly as security escorted me and my dog out Hayley’s. I didn’t know they weren’t dog friendly too 😬. I do now !

It's genuinely dog friendly with a good open lay out.

It is local and nice to know the dogs can come into the shops
Rome Harold, October 2023
Dogs don't belong in shopping centres (guard dogs okay yes) but I've seen puddles of dog urine around friars square shopping centre and it's disgusting. Don't don't need to be everywhere and not everyone likes them. This isn't a vote.
Leanne Farr, September 2023
Because they don't just say there dog friendly they mean it for example they have water bowls available. Been a while since dogs allowed and when shopping its the norm now and never been any issues. Allow you to go out with your dog and pick up few things if needed with your furry best friend
Sam Miller, September 2023
Very handy you can take dogs
Magda Wikiera, September 2023
Very friendly, clean shopping centre. Amazing that dogs can enter

Dogs are a huge part of peoples lives and the more places you can take them the better for our mental health and the dogs socialisation. Friars square is a regular spot to meet with family and friends and now I can take pooch along too

We seem to have accumulated three dogs over the last couple of years, and it’s a brilliant idea that we are now able to being them with us to pop into shops, instead of having to work out puppy care - and it’s also great for their socialisation! Thank you so much for doing this.
