Santa Paws Community Dog Walk (in collaboration with Tails on the Trails and Inspiring Tails)

Get into the Christmas spirit with our festive Santa Paws Community Dog Walk, in collaboration with Tails on the Trails and Inspiring Tails.

  • Booking essential
  • Free event (admission applies)

Gather your four-legged friends, pop on a Christmas jumper (for you or your pup!), and join us for a cheerful winter walk through the grounds.

This relaxed community walk is the perfect opportunity to enjoy the fresh air, meet fellow dog lovers, and celebrate the season with like-minded canine companions. Along the route, the team from Tails on the Trails and Inspiring Tails will be on hand with friendly advice and practical tips on everything from lead walking and enrichment to confidence building and winter adventures with your dog.

Meet your walk leader at the entrance to the gardens (Bell Gate) at 10.30am. The walk will take approximately one and a half hours, although you're welcome to head off earlier if your furry friend prefers a shorter stroll. Expect plenty of wagging tails, festive cheer and the chance to make some new dog-loving friends along the way.

Dogs must remain on leads at all times. Why not dress your pooch in their festive finest and join us for a paws-itively merry morning?
