The Art Shop

The Art Shop is a long-established art and craft retailer on Hawksworth Street in the heart of Ilkley and dogs are welcome inside while you browse. Whether you're after specialist art supplies or hunting for something a little more gift-worthy, your dog can join you on the tile-floored wander without having to wait outside in the rain.

Inside you'll find a full range of materials for artists and makers, alongside prints, homeware and cards. It's the sort of place where you can lose half an hour browsing and come out with three things you didn't know you needed.

The shop sits right in Ilkley's main visitor shopping area, so it slots neatly into a longer dog-friendly mooch through town. This is an indoor retail space where dogs and their humans are genuinely welcomed, which makes the everyday errand or creative expedition that bit easier when you've got a lead in one hand and a shopping list in the other.
