Dog Friendly Days and Santa Paws
Santa Paws and Dog Friendly Light Trail
Did you know that Winter Glow isn’t always just for humans? We don’t believe that our favourite member of the family should miss out on the festive fun and that is why more paw-some dog-friendly nights are back for 2025 with the brand new opportunity for our pups to meet Father Christmas, explore the Illuminated Light Trail and capture the ultimate Christmas selfies.
Bring your four-legged friend along to meet Father Christmas with your family here they will receive their very own gift, and capture the most adorable festive family photo – think of the Christmas card opportunities! Once you have met the man himself, visit Mrs Claus’ bakery where your pooch can sample the brand new dog-friendly biscuit recipe and receive all the puppy love.
Santa Paws can be booked via our Personalised Father Christmas Experience page. For dog-friendly Light Trail tickets, just book your Light Trail tickets in the usual way, making sure you select a dog-friendly evening.
