Pet owners across Cambridgeshire are in for a festive treat as Dobbies Garden Centres welcome back their popular Santa Paws experience this Christmas.

With the Peterborough store offering the chance for furry companions to enjoy a magical visit to Santa's Grotto, pet lovers can get into the holiday spirit alongside their four-legged friends.

A Dobbies spokesperson said: "Watch as your 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."

When purchasing a ticket online, Dobbies’ customers have the option to donate to Dogs Trust.

Santa Paws is available from Thursday 5 to Tuesday 24 December on selected dates.

Ayesha Nickson, Dobbies’ Events programme manager, 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 providing 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.”
