Christmas at Brockswood
Celebrate the season with us at Brockswood Animal Sanctuary, where festive spirit meets compassion. While we may not turn into the North Pole, our sanctuary offers a heart-warming place to enjoy a little Christmas cheer surrounded by nature and our rescued animals.
Bring your family (including your waggy friends!) to meet Father Christmas or Santa Paws, enjoy a peaceful wander around the sanctuary, and make memories that support a wonderful cause. Every ticket helps keep our animals safe, warm, and cared for throughout the winter months.
Santa Paws
Why not treat your furry friends to a magical festive experience this Christmas and take them to meet Santa Paws, creating special memories for the whole family! We’ll be opening up our sanctuary woodland, lit up with Christmas lights to guide you to our grotto in the woods, perfect for snapping some special photos to remember this special moment with your dog - we haven't hired expensive photographers, so you can take your own photos with Santa Paws and avoid paying for pawtraits that you may not like - we’ve all been there. Go ahead, take the ultimutt selfie!
He will, of course, be treating your waggy pals to a special treat, as well as lots of love and attention (if they would like it!) - he can’t wait to meet you!
Santa Paws adores our animal companions and will be providing your beloved furry companions with lots of love and attention (if they're interested, of course!). He's also planning to surprise them with a special gift.
