That’s our way of flagging the places that go further — beyond “dogs allowed”, with a genuinely warm welcome for dogs inside.

Indoor Welcome Last Verified:

8 Aug 2026

Oakington Garden Centre is a strong independent garden centre just northwest of Cambridge, with plant nursery roots, a sizeable retail shop and the Olive Tree Café.

Dogs are welcome inside across the whole site, including the café, so you can browse bedding plants, pots and garden accessories with your dog on lead beside you. The café has indoor seating where well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome, making this a practical stop when you need both compost and coffee without splitting the group. The plant and retail areas give you the space to wander at sniff pace and the on-site café means you can settle in for a break without leaving anyone behind.

Located on the Cambridge side of the A428/A14 corridor, Oakington Garden Centre suits local customers and day-trip visitors looking for year-round garden-centre depth with full dog access and café convenience.

Good to know:

Water bowls available

Free treats available

Doggy menu available

Dog Policy:

Dogs are welcome anywhere on site on leads, including the café. Well-behaved dogs can join you inside the shop, plant areas and indoor seating.
