Pamper your pet pooch this Christmas with a visit to Santa Paws!

They are barking mad about dogs at Church Farm Ardeley, and this festive season is no exception.

Those of us who love our canine companions often think of them as children.

So why not take your beloved four-legged friend to see Santa Paws at Church Farm Ardeley?

Each visit includes an opportunity for your dog to tell 'Santa Paws' just how well behaved they’ve been, plus they will receive a doggie Christmas gift with plenty of photo opportunities with the big man himself.

There may even be an extra special sausage for well-dressed pooches.

Every Saturday and Sunday until Christmas, as well as December 21 and December 22, Santa Paws will be available to meet excited pups and their even more exited owners.

Some dates and time slots have already sold out.

The farm's cheeky Elf will greet you on arrival, owners can make a wish and place it on the Christmas Wish Tree, while pooches enjoy a tasty biscuit before meeting Santa Paws in his grotto.

Each visit with Santa Paws includes a special doggie present.
