A popular Christmas event for dogs is set to return.

The Santa Paws experience at Dobbies' Moreton Park store will take place again this year.

Dogs can take a journey to Santa's grotto for a 'tail-wagging good time' and a professional photograph with Santa.

They will also receive a size-appropriate toy, handpicked by Santa.

Santa Paws will run on selected dates from Thursday, December 5 to Tuesday, December 24.

Tickets cost £9.99 per dog and there is an option to book the professional photograph at a discounted price.Tickets cost £9.99 per dog and there is an option to book the professional photograph at a discounted price (Image: Dobbies Garden Centre)

Dobbies' events programme manager, Ayesha Nickson, 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."

The event has been designed with the help of the dog welfare charity, Dogs Trust, and customers can donate to the cause when purchasing tickets online.

The charity cares for, rehabilitates, and rehomes thousands of dogs every year.

Ms Nickson said: "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."

For those wanting to make it a family affair, Santa's Grotto is open to children for a cost of £12.99 per child, including a toy.

Dogs are welcome in all Dobbies stores and in designated areas of the restaurant.

People are encouraged to book quickly to avoid missing out.
