On the day there is an exclusive opportunity for your pup to meet Santa Claus and have their photo taken! Santa Claus meet and greets with your pup will be available from 10am with photos available to purchase from Wicky Bear’s Gift Shop.
There will also be a Pet ‘PAW’trait artist that you can visit free of charge on the day of the event to have a gorgeous memory of your pet drawn.
