Step behind the scenes at the Medical Detection Dogs Centre and immerse yourself in the extraordinary world where science meets the power of a dog’s nose. Our Open Day invites you on an exclusive guided journey through the home of our life‑saving work.

Join one of our three in‑depth tours and uncover the story of how a small idea grew into a pioneering charity changing lives across the UK and beyond. Meet some of our remarkable four‑legged trainees, learn how they’re selected and trained, and watch our Bio Detection Dogs demonstrate their incredible abilities in real time.

You’ll explore areas of the Centre that are normally closed to the public, gaining a rare insight into the research, training, and dedication that sit behind every successful partnership. Along the way, you’ll spend time with the expert staff and volunteers who devote their days to shaping these exceptional dogs — and hear directly from Clients whose lives have been transformed by their canine companions.

Each tour begins at the time shown on your ticket and lasts around three hours, offering an interesting and inspiring experience we hope you won’t forget.
