COME MEET LOTS OF LABS
From tiny pups to distinguished Lab oldies who've perfected the art of getting exactly what they want (usually food!), Labradors of all ages are welcome.
Our secure, off-lead events give them the freedom to sniff, play, chase a ball and make friends at their own pace. No tangled leads or awkward pavement hellos!
Chocolate, black and yellow Labs, all bouncing around like long-lost besties. Add Christmas jumpers and festive tunes, and you've got one gloriously happy Labrador paradise! ✨🐾
...AND SANTA PAWS & THE GRINCH TOO!
Has your Lab spent the year stealing socks, raiding the kitchen or pretending they haven't been fed? Don't worry, Santa Paws is coming to meet them anyway! 🎅
And watch out for THE GRINCH! Will a room full of goofy, tail-wagging Labradors melt his grumpy green heart? We reckon he doesn't stand a chance.
Expect twinkling lights, Christmas trees, giant Nutcrackers, tinsel and festive photo opportunities GALORE!
DRESS TO SLEIGH 🎄✨
Christmas jumpers, sequins and DAZZLE encouraged! Whether your Lab is serving cosy Christmas knit, Santa's little helper or a festive outfit that lasts three seconds before they're rolling around, we want to see it!
Our professional photographer will be there to capture all those gorgeous moments, completely FREE. So come twinning with your Lab, dress up the kids and get the whole gang sparkling!
MAKE NEW HUMAN FRIENDS
Meet fellow Lab obsessives, swap stories and bond over your shared love of four-legged hoovers, personal-space invaders and professional snack detectives!
It's relaxed, wholesome socialising, POP+BARK style. Just add Christmas tunes, delicious coffee and perhaps a cheeky mimosa. 🥂
DOG LOVERS WELCOME
No dog required! Just a healthy obsession with Labradors and a little Christmas spirit.
