Dog-Friendly Christmas Drinks in Preston

Dogs are welcome at The Winter Lodge on Friargate in Preston until 8pm, every day we're open. Bring them in after a walk, take a hut or a window stool, and get a mulled wine or a hot chocolate while they settle under the table.

When to come

Weekend afternoons are the calmest time, and the best time for dogs. We open at 12pm on Saturdays, and from 29 November on Sundays too. Weekdays we open at 4pm, and from 1 December we're open every day until Christmas Eve. After 8pm the Lodge gets busier and it's adults only, so no dogs.

Make an afternoon of it

Walk the dog round Avenham Park or along the river, then head up into town for something warm. The huts have blankets on the hooks, the fairy lights are on all day, and the Christmas films play over the bar.

Booking with a dog

You don't need to book, but on a Saturday in December it helps. Book a hut for up to eight, and bring the dog. More on bringing your dog to the Lodge.
