Cabot Circus has announced that it is now 'dog friendly' and owners are already planning pup dates and get-togethers at the major shopping centre. In a post to Facebook, the announcement read: "Bristol we have a paw-some update... we are now dog friendly!
"Yes... this news is fur-real! Planning a quick pup-date? Before bringing your furry friend in please have a quick read of our doggy guidelines." The guidelines, which can be read in full below, include things like keeping dogs on leads and using lifts and stairs instead of elevators.

Before now, the shopping centre had in place a strict 'no dogs' policy.
