A GARDEN centre is offering dog owners the chance for their pets to meet Santa to find out if they have been good boys this year.
Dobbies, with branches in Hare Hatch and Spencers Wood, is preparing to launch its festive celebrations, including the canine-friendly grotto.
And the jolly red robed man with the bushy beard will be hosting breakfast experiences for under 10s in the run-up to December 25. His grotto will open on Thursday, November 24, with a quiet session on Friday, December 9.
The Santa Paws sessions, for four-legged friends, opens from Saturday, December 3.
And for those who are slightly older, there will be afternoon teas, with family-friendly options available.
There will also be opportunities to make donations to its charity, the Teenage Cancer Trust.
Dobbies’ Partnership and Events Manager, Sarah Murray, said: “Christmas is all about getting the family together and spending quality time with your loved ones.
“At Dobbies we want to give families an experience to remember and unforgettable memories to cherish for years to come.
“Nothing is more magical than Christmas time, and our interactive festive events in Reading will help bring the season to life for the entire family.”
