POOCHES will be popping the ‘pawsecco’ and visiting with Santa Paws at a Christmas party with a difference.

The Market Hall, on Palace Street in Caernarfon, is hosting a ‘Tails and Tinsel Doggy Pawty’ celebration for dogs and their owners, from 1pm - 6pm, on Sunday, December 9.

Partygoers will be given doggy mulled wine and beer on arrival, and there are fun and games, a quiz and competitions in store. The humans and their canine chums will also get to have their photo taken with Santa Paws - aka John Willlis - as well as collecting a doggy bag of tasty treats and gifts.

There will be a dog show, with prizes given for best ‘pawty’ trick, best Christmas outfit and best matching human and pooch outfits. The party is being hosted by online organisation Dog Furiendly which promotes dog friendly locations.

Emma Hughes, North Wales ‘Pack Leader,’ for Dog Furiendly, who will be at the party with three-year-old Dachsund Seth said:”We have organised party for dogs and their owners, the first of its kind in the area. We promote places where dogs and their owners can go together. We are always looking for people to join us as Dog Furriendly explorers.”

Tickets are £10 with one dog per person. See the Dog Furiendly website.
