What an amazing experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to see Santa. The walkthrough to see him was so pretty and the staff assisting the man himself were so lovely. They helped to create such a beautiful atmosphere
After seeing Santa we went through the woods to see the lights. It was totally stunning.
Thank you paw-fest for helping our Christmas festivities so magical

Really enjoyed our day. Thank you.

This year we have been to both the events that were on and we must say how absolutely amazing they were
For sure the best dog events
Firstly this years ultimatum pawfest event was outstanding, there was just so much to do and was so much bigger and better with all the informative and helpful talks going on as well as all the demonstrations and performances, these were really interesting and fun to watch.
Lexie and Reggie really enjoyed all the activities for sure, I think one of there favourites things was the lure for sure which we so much better this year, we took part in all the activities you could and they were just fantastic.
The wellies remembrance garden was absolutely stunning and a great place for us to sit down and remember our past pooch, what a very lovely thing to do.
We enjoyed taking part in the dogs shows and i especially love that this year their was a yellow pup parade which we joined with Reggie who is an anxious pup, he was so relaxed during this.
I just loved seeing much pups have the best time and loved taking part.
I loved this year’s set up, it was definitely incredibly organised.
There’s was also a massive range of different vendors which we loved, we did a spot of shopping of course which was a lot of fun .
There’s whole pawfest staff were outstanding and so helpful as always, making the whole experience amazing.
There was so much to do. Very yellow dog friendly too.

Secondly the most recent event pawfestivies was brilliant as ever, I just loved this years set up and how there was 2 santas, which meant to be seen quicker, this was so well organised, I love how beautiful the Santa’s grotto looked and was more spacious too.
We even went during the yellow hour which was a lot quieter and more relaxed, highly recommend this for those with anxious pups who are unsure if they will cope, the whole team and so amazing with the pooches needs and respect their space if they need it, I really love how this year there was separate tickets just for the Christmas light trail, mini market and of course the pups pup cup, this is perfect for pooches that may be scared of people, I really love this. The market this year was set up so lovely and was so Christmassy, I am just amazed with this. I loved this years snow machine, I saw so many pups who loved it, unfortunately mine weren’t a fan of it but I did go in it with a friends dog who was just loving it. The Christmas light trail was stunning and even better this year, I loved all the photo opportunities and how gorgeous it all was. Lexie and Reggie really enjoyed their free pup cups and of course all the attention, love and cuddles they got. They loved their gift they each got from Santa. Reggie made sure to give Santa plenty of kisses as always.
The whole experience was just wonderful. We can’t wait to do it all over again.

So to sum it all up was just amazing, outstanding and everything thing that would just say how incredible it was.

We are looking forward to all the next years events and attending as always as these events are just the best for sure and as always I do tell everyone they should definitely go which a few new people have gone this year and have all said how much they have enjoyed it.

The value for all the tickets were definitely worth it for sure as theirs just so much you can do.

We were on of the pawfest ambassadors this year and were just amazed with how organised, fun and lovely it was. We can’t wait to do it all over again next year.

We have made so many lovely memories which we will never forget and have plenty of photos and videos to look back on.

Well done pawfest team, you all deserve a massive round of applause.

A fun day for the pups, would definitely recommend to others. The Christmas light trail is great and a good walk before sitting down with a pup cup and a hot chocolate! Enjoyed meeting Santa, looking forward to the professional photos! Thank you!

First ever Christmas festival especially with the pups.
The light trial was beautiful, layed out really nicely, the santa paws, was brilliant, staff were so happy and friendly, I was so impressed that my older dog said hi to them, as he can be funny with strangers so that really made my day seeing that, I can't wait to see the professional photos. Loved the stalls.

Had the most amazing time at Pawfest the light trail was so beautiful
And my dog loved meeting Santa and mrs Claus and of course all of the elves.This is our second year of coming and will definitely be returning
again I love the fact that everyone is made to feel welcome and it is something special to do with your fur babies .

My pup had an amazing 1st santa visit , really welcoming staff , great stalls . A puppachino inc and the downloadable santa pic is also inc fab . The light trail was lovely i only wish we had come an hour later at dusk i think would look even better in the dark , got lots of pics , a good walk & frstive fun woo hoo

As always pawfestivties was amazing and we had an amazing time and Oscar and Marley had such an amazing day too we just love coming back every year loved Christmas trial walk too

I’m currently dog sitting an 18 year old lady called Panda. And Pawfest randomly came up on my social media feed and I booked a ticked straight away. Dident know what to expect.
But as soon as we arrived the staff were so friendly or should I say Santa’s helpers?! The signs were easy to follow to the light trail and little girl walked the whole way round. She’s deaf and half blind. But she loved all the smells and all the love people gave her . I’m getting emotional writing this because Pawfest was just a beautiful, magical place for all the fur babes.

So thank you 💗

This was our second year attending Pawfest at Bettshanger Park. It's a 3 hour round trip for us, and well worth it. The light show is fantastic and my dogs love seeing Santa and the elves! Unfortunately this year they'd run out of Pup Cups when we went, but the Pigs in Blankets were thoroughly enjoyed!! There were less stalls this year than last year, which was a shame as there was less variety but still enough to peruse after seeing Santa. Roll on Xmas 2026!!

We had the best time at pawfestivities, it was our first time and the girls loved it from the free puppochino to the walk of festive light and especially to finish meeting Santa, a perfect start to Christmas countdown, we will definitely be back next year

We had an amazing time at Pawfestivities on Sat 29th Nov 25
Having visited in 2024, it was a big improvement and we loved how the grotto was set out this year.
The light trail was festive and fun as always - and all staff were super friendly and did whatever they could to help accommodate a group of us - even in taking a photo of 8 dogs and 4 humans!
We had the best time and will definitely return next year

As always, Pawfestivities was an utter delight! The main event in summer and the Christmas version are incredible events that allow our dogs to be deservedly spoilt. Taco loves the pup cups, pigs in blankets and all the goodies on offer at the xmas market. Santa Paws and his helpers are very understanding of different dogs' needs, giving space and time where required. The lights trail is simply magical. This year was our third in a row and we will of course be back in 2026 too! Thank you to everyone who makes these events possible ❤️

PawFest was an absolutely magical day from start to finish! The whole event had a warm, festive vibe that made it feel truly special — not just for the dogs, but for the humans too. The mix of stall vendors created a lively marketplace atmosphere, and the hot festive drinks were the perfect touch to keep everyone cozy as we explored.

The staff went above and beyond, with many dressed up in festive outfits that added so much charm and cheer to the day. One of the absolute highlights was the visit to Santa’s grotto. It was beautifully designed and clearly well thought-out — from the layout to the little details that made it feel magical. Santa and his helper were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and patient, making the experience unforgettable. The dogs especially loved their free pigs-in-blankets snack, and the goody bag from Santa was such a lovely bonus.

The snow machine was a huge hit too — watching the dogs play and interact with the “snow” was pure joy. The light walk was another standout moment: beautifully done, atmospheric, and full of fantastic photo opportunities that helped capture the memory of the day perfectly.

Overall, PawFest delivered an enchanting, festive experience filled with thoughtfulness, fun, and holiday magic. We loved every minute of it and can’t wait for the next one!

We had such a lovely day with our pooch. The value for money was incredible. He got such lovely toys in his goody bag and the pup cup and pig in blanket was a brilliant treat. Everyone we encountered was friendly and helpful and interacted with our pooch. The light trial was lovely and we could go round as many times as we liked. The staff even took some pictures of us as a family throughout the day, we really really enjoyed it and will recommend to everyone. We will be back next year!
