Dobbies, the UK's leading garden centre retailer, is inviting dog owners to be part of its Christmas festivities as it stages a Santa Paws Grotto experience across its 52 stores.

Dog lovers all over the UK can bring their furry pals for doggie gifts and photo opportunities with Santa.

Seeing families and friends come together, sharing laughter, and creating special memories is at the heart of what we do at Dobbies. Our team has poured their passion into crafting an array of festive experiences that will truly bring the magic of Christmas to life. We can't wait to see the happiness these events bring our customers and their loved ones.”
