Dobbies in Hyde Road has announced the introduction of the garden centre chain's its popular Santa Paws experience.

People can bring their furry companions on a magical journey to Santa's Grotto for a tail-wagging good time.

The firm says people can watch as their beloved pup shares a delightful moment with Santa, and have the magic captured with a professional photograph. Before leaving, dogs will receive a toy carefully selected by Santa and tailored to their size. 

Dobbies is partnering with Dogs Trust, the UK's leading dog welfare charity, on the Santa Paws experience. When purchasing a ticket online, Dobbies’ customers have the option to donate toward the Dogs Trust's mission of caring for, rehabilitating, and rehoming thousands of dogs every year. 

Dobbies’ Events Programme Manager Ayesha Nickson is a proud dog owner and is thrilled to be inviting dogs to the stores. 

She said: “Our beloved Santa Paws experience offers a truly magical moment for dog lovers and their furry companions this Christmas. 

"It has gained immense popularity in recent years, often selling out and we are delighted to be bringing it to our Swindon store to provide a memorable experience for everyone.

"Partnering with Dogs Trust allows us to lend our support to an important cause that’s very close to our hearts. So come join us for a fun festive adventure and create lasting memories with your four-legged best friend.”

Santa Paws is available from Thursday 5 December to Tuesday 24 December on selected dates. The experience costs £9.99 per dog and the professional photograph add-on can be pre-booked for a discount. 

To make it an experience for the whole family, guests can also book the Santa's Grotto for children at £12.99 per child, including a toy.

Dogs are welcome is all Dobbies stores and in dedicated areas of the restaurants.  Owners are encouraged to act fast to secure their spot and avoid disappointment.
