Santa Paws
After a sell-out event last year, Santa Paws returns!
Christmas isn’t just for humans! What could be cuter than your furry friend meeting Santa? Each pet receives a treat, as well as a special gift to open on Christmas Day – and of course, the chance to take a photo or two with Santa!
Not just for dogs – from curious cats to rambunctious rabbits, we’d love to see any furry pet that you’d like to bring along.
Afterwards, why not enjoy a winter stroll through the grounds, and then head into the Castle for a visit with your human companions?
This is a fundraising event for Hartlebury Castle Trust.
