Santa Paws 2026

About

Every good dog deserves a visit to Santa.

Dates in December | £12 - £13.50 per pooch

Every good dog deserves a visit to Santa.

Christmas is for our four-legged friends too, so bring your dog along to Santa Paws for tail-wagging festive fun in our Grotto or Meet Santa experiences.

Your pup can meet Santa and his elves during a Christmas experience created especially for them, complete with dog-friendly activities and a special gift to take home.

There will be plenty of opportunities to capture the moment, including a professional photo with Santa to remember their visit.

For an even more memorable family day out, add a child's ticket when booking so little ones can meet Santa alongside their furry friend. 

Santa's Grotto is a fully immersive experience, with interactive activities before meeting Santa, while Meet Santa is a festive visit within the store, including time with Santa and a chance to get photos.
