This varies at each of our venues. The Kennels was originally built to house the third Duke's hunting hounds and today it is Goodwood's private members' clubhouse. Here, your dog will be able to attend for the full duration and celebrate with you and all of your guests.
At The Goodwood Hotel and Goodwood House your dog will be able to witness your ceremony. After this your dog would need to head off for an early night with a dog sitter or trusted friend. Please note that we can recommend a supplier for this; discuss this with your wedding co-ordinator to confirm the arrangements.
At The Goodwood Hotel we have dog friendly bedrooms, allowing for your dog to stay on site; the cost would be £30 for them to stay with us.
Hound Lodge is also dog friendly and dogs are welcome to join you here during your stay. Again, you would need to arrange for a trusted friend or dog sitter to look after them while you dance the night away.
