Pawfestivities: at the North Pole | Santa's Grotto Entrance

We had the most amazing time. Lexie and Reggie really enjoyed it too. Will definitely be going again next year. Reggie has grown in confidence and this year wasn’t scared of Father Christmas and in fact gave him kisses. I love how friendly and helpful everyone involved is. There were also slots for anxious doggos which is absolutely amazing, most definitely recommend this event. We love shopping around some of the businesses and got some goodies for Lexie and Reggie.
The value of the tickets were absolutely incredible for what you get. They got a present off farther Christmas and even a pup cup each.

Amazing day out, with my boy Blue. We were made very welcome and everyone was so friendly. I will definitely be coming back next year. Can't wait.

We came to paw festivities on 1st December with our very excitable golden retriever. He absolutely loved the light walk and meeting Santa 😊 We will definitely be coming again next year but we’ll do the nervous hours as we also have a very nervous border collie and after coming this year think he would definitely love the light walk ☺️

We visited yesterday (sunday) evening. I was very impressed with the whole thing. It was really well thought out, everyone was super friendly and so good with all of the dogs.
Dude loved having his puppaccino, (us humans enjoyed the hot chocolates) seeing Santa (giving him a big sloppy kiss) and all the sniffs on the light trail. The gift bag was a lovely touch and as an added bonus we got a raffle prize. Which was great. All round a great time.
I highly recommend going. We'd love to come back next year. 😁

Me and my dogs absolutely loved this!! Everything was well though out and planned… can’t wait for the next one.

Honestly, this event was wonderful!
It’s our first time attending an event by this organization and we were thrilled by the whole thing.
The winter wonderland walk was lovely and our dog enjoyed sniffing her way around.
The selection of doggy stalls was fab and all stall holders so genuinely friendly.
The visit to Santa’s grotto was also amazing, and again all the staff inside and out were super friendly.
Throughly enjoyed our afternoon, and I can say our recently rescued dalmatian had the best time ever… she had so much attention! 🥰
Thank you so much for doing this event for the 4 legged family members.
Cannot recommended highly enough.
We will definitely return next year!
Well done to all involved!!! 👏🏻 🎄 🐾

Peggy had a great time meeting Santa, doing some shopping and walking the Christmas trail! Definitely be doing it again next year

Such a good time, the trail was well spaces out, pretty and peaceful, lots of places for a picture or two.
Santa's grotto was well timed so no build up of dogs.
The set up was so much better this year, Santa's helpers were so good and getting Nutmeg to look at the camera and everyone was so patient with her! Also still in awe that Mrs clause remembered nutmeg from last year! Definitely be back next year, Meg loves it.

We went to pawfest today for the first time and it was brilliant. Our pup is quite anxious so we booked one of the tickets for early in the day for anxious/reactive dogs.
The girls in Santa's grotto were really good and understanding(as was santa) and the little stalls were great.
Next year we will attempt to come later when it's dark to get the full effect of the lights in the woods

This was the 1st time we had attended this event!
All of the staff hosting this event were so friendly and super helpful in directing us on where to go!
Santa visit was cute and the goodie bags and photo were unexpected!
The light trail was good however a few more signs along the way would have been good as we went in the exit 🙈 However we still had a lovely walk.
Would definately recommend to dog lovers! X

Had the cutest day with my little dog Millie, she loved the trail that was lite up and festive and especially visiting Father Christmas in his grotto.
Everyone was so kind and friendly and it was such good value for money, will definitely come back next year 🐾🎄🎅🏻

We had a wonderful time.
Well organised & beautifully festive

We visited with our dog this afternoon and although the weather was rubbish (very wet and windy) the event was fantastic. The light trail was a little short but great fun for us all and the doggy Xmas stalls near santas grotto had plenty to keep us amused whilst we waited for our dogs turn to see Santa. The staff were amazing and so welcoming and the Santa visit was fab and actually what a great present for the dogs (so much better than when we take the kids to see him here lol!) overall a lovely trip out and worth every penny. Oh and our pup even got spoiled with a free pup chino and a pig in blanket! Yum! Well worth a visit and I hope it runs again next year 🤩

Well organised and great value for money.
Such a positive atmosphere, everyone was so cheerful and helpful
A wonderful feel good experience for dogs and their humans!

We took our 16 month puppy Buddy on 30 November 2024 and we had a wonderful time the trail was amazing and meeting Santa paws was fantastic we loved that Buddy got to go in on his own it was run brilliantly and value for money was exceptional will definitely be back next year and recommending to all our friends with dogs 🐕 💙
