Yes - Danby Castle Barn warmly welcomes dogs as part of your wedding day. Dogs are permitted at the ceremony and the drinks reception, and the venue has outdoor grounds where they can enjoy some fresh air and stretch their legs during the celebrations.
Dogs are not permitted at the wedding breakfast. You will need to arrange for a dedicated handler - whether a professional dog chaperone or a trusted family member or friend - to look after your dog during this part of the day.
The venue requires a dedicated handler to be responsible for your dog throughout the day, but this does not need to be a professional. A family member or friend who is happy to take on that role is perfectly acceptable. If you would like a fully qualified, experienced chaperone, take a look at our wedding packages to see how we can help.
The venue typically accommodates one to two dogs. If you are hoping to bring more than one, it is worth discussing this directly with the Danby Castle Barn team at the time of booking.

There are miles of footpaths and bridleways directly accessible from the local area - ideal for giving your dog a good walk before or after the celebrations.
There is no on-site accommodation at Danby Castle Barn, so dogs and their owners will need to arrange nearby lodging. The North Yorkshire Moors area has a wide range of dog-friendly holiday cottages and inns within easy reach of the venue.
Danby Castle Barn combines a genuinely dog-welcoming attitude with a stunning outdoor setting on the edge of the North York Moors.
