Dunster Yarn Market

Dunster Yarn Market is a historic octagonal market hall in the heart of Dunster village and dogs on leads are welcome to join you in the outdoor public area surrounding this striking landmark. Built in the early 17th century, the open-sided timber structure is free to visit during daylight hours and makes a quick, photogenic stop on a dog-friendly day out in this picturesque corner of Somerset.

Access is outdoors only, so you and your lead-walking companion can admire the building from the immediate viewing area before heading off to explore the rest of Dunster. The village itself is packed with other dog-friendly attractions, cafes and walking routes, making the Yarn Market a natural starting point or brief landmark pause rather than a destination on its own.

Charged parking is available nearby in the village (postcode TA24 6SE) and there's no need to book or pay entry for the market hall. Open any reasonable time during daylight hours, it's an easy addition to a Minehead and Dunster itinerary when you're mapping out a dog-inclusive day.
