Santa Paws returns for more magical meetings with your furry friends!

Who said Christmas was only for humans? Bring the whole family to meet Santa and his elf – including your four-legged companions!

Each pet can meet the man himself, enjoy a treat and gift, and pose for your very special (and cute) Christmas photos. Not just for dogs – from curious cats to rambunctious rabbits, we’d love to see any furry pets!

You can also bring the kids to take centre stage as they share their festive wishes with Santa and get their own present. Groups with or without children are welcome to make festive memories together.

We know you’ve all got Christmas jumpers, so feel free to come along in festive outfits too – including your pets!

Afterwards, why not enjoy a peaceful walk through the winter grounds, and then explore the wonderfully decorated Castle with your human companions?
