About this event
Dobbies Bury St Edmunds are running their popular Santa Paws experience this year.
Take part in their festive sniff-ari, meet the big man himself and every good pup will receive a special gift from Santa.
Plus, if you want the complete family experience you can include a children’s ticket and they can meet Santa along with your pup. The children’s ticket includes the full Grotto or Meet Santa experience and a toy for your child. Find out more about our Grotto experience here or Meet Santa here.
