This Festive Fun day we're celebrating the season with a celebration of all things canine, where dogs of all shapes, sizes, and talents are welcome to step into the ring and have a go at our doggy assault course and parade around for rosettes!
Dressing up is encouraged for you and your furry friend, so put on your best Christmas jumpers and dig out the jingle bells- we may even have a special visit from Father Christmas himself!
We're excited to welcome you back for another Santa Paws event, we hope you have a paw-itively wonderful day, but please remember to keep your dog on a lead at all times and we encourage well behaved dogs only please.
