After a hugely successful one-month trial, The Grand Pier in Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset, is thrilled to announce that dogs are now welcome on the premises β€” for good!

Since throwing open the gates to canine companions in early June, the Pier has welcomed an incredible 25,000 paws along its boardwalk β€” a testament to just how much both dogs and their humans love the experience.

Leading the announcement was none other than Ripley, The Grand Pier’s beloved Chief Canine Officer:

β€œWe’ve always believed dogs are family, and now they’re officially part of Pier life too! The trial couldn’t have gone better β€” tails were wagging, and visitors loved the new vibe. Honestly, I’ve never seen so many happy pups in one place!”

To ensure every furry guest feels right at home, The Grand Pier offers a variety of dog-friendly perks daily:

  • Convenient water stations located throughout the Pier
  • Free dog biscuits to keep tails wagging
  • Specially crafted dog-friendly ice cream
  • The fan-favorite Doggy Grab Game
  • Clearly marked dog-friendly areas
  • A warm welcome from staff β€” and a chance to meet Ripley himself, if he’s not off on a nap break!

Now, every day at The Grand Pier is a dog day β€” and everyone’s invited.
