DOG FRIENDLY MALTON

Malton is generally a very dog friendly town (most dog friendly market town 2018) and dogs are welcome as long as you are sure they can cope with the conditions. However, if you are attending one of our larger events, such as the Food Lovers Festival, please be advised that it is extremely busy, so we advise against bringing dogs if possible because their paws could easily be stood on and their leads could trip people up. If you do chose to bring your dog, they must be kept on leads at all times and you must clear up after your dog immediately. If your dog is getting upset or is causing a nuisance to other festivalgoers then you and your dog may be asked to leave.

PUBLIC TOILETS:

Toilets, including disabled access and baby changing facilities, can be found opposite The Shambles, in the Market Place and also next to the Wentworth Street car park off Princess Road.
