Make magical Christmas memories at our Santa Paws Grotto for Dogs!

This Christmas, treat your four-legged friend to a magical visit with Father Christmas at our Santa Paws Dog Grotto! Dogs will have the chance to meet Father Christmas and receive a special festive gift to take home. There will also be a special photo opportunity with Santa, so don’t forget to bring your camera or phone to capture the moment!

Tickets are for one dog, with a maximum of four dogs per booking. Each dog can be accompanied by their family, including children, although please note that this experience is designed especially for dogs rather than children.

Each time slot lasts approximately 5 minutes. All dogs must be accompanied by at least one adult aged 18 or over and must be kept on a lead at all times.

Come along and make some paw-some Christmas memories with your furry friend!

This is a fundraising event with all profits going towards the running of the museum.
