Pups can take part in dog-friendly interactive activities and receive a special festive gift to take home. Professional printed photo opportunities are available, and children can also join their furry friends by adding a child's ticket.

Tips & Advice
- Book well ahead, because availability is limited and advance booking is highly recommended.
- Arrive no more than five minutes before your slot, since the booking time is the start of the experience and early entry isn't allowed.
- Only bring your dog if it's comfortable around people and other dogs, as the Grotto is shared with other families.
- Report any accidents to the Grotto team or clean up straight away, because children may also be in the Grotto.
- Add a child's ticket during booking rather than later if your kids want to meet Santa alongside the dog.
Special Events & Promotions
- Add a child's ticket when booking so little ones can meet Santa with their dog.
- Pre-book the photo package to save 20% compared with buying it on the day.
- Santa Paws supports Dogs Trust this year, and you can add a donation when you book.
