For the first time, Raby will be hosting a Santa-Paws experience for dogs, where they get to enjoy a special Christmas encounter and meet Father Christmas in the Yuletide Yurt, providing a picture-perfect photo opportunity for owners to look back on years to come and also includes a special doggy treat to take home for the big day.

This is a special Christmas event for dog parents and their furry friends.

Please note this is not an opportunity for children to meet Father Christmas. Father Christmas events for children are Father Christmas at Raby Castle and Meet Mr & Mrs. Claus in the Yuletide Yurt.
