Festive fun for your furry four-legged friends
Our very special grotto at The Treehouse will be open to your pampered pooches for one night only!
Bring your dogs to come and have a picture with Santa, enjoy some enrichment activities, and receive a special gift to take home.
You do not need to attend for the whole event period, just come for your timeslot if you’d like. We’ll also have a Christmas Market running in the main building (free to enter) and refreshments will be available.
All money from the Grotto entry tickets will be split 50/50 with Margaret Green Animal Rescue, and there are options to make additional donations at check out.
Please note: you must have chosen a time slot in order for this to qualify. There is a limit of three dogs per time slot.
About Diverse Abilities
Founded in 1955 by a mother looking for support for her daughter with cerebral palsy, Diverse Abilities developed from a small group of families in a living room to more than 20 services for children and adults with physical and learning disabilities.
About Margaret Green Animal Rescue
Their mission is to provide a safe and nurturing environment where each animal can recover, rebuild trust, and prepare for a loving new home. The team takes the time to understand both the needs of the animals and the lifestyles of potential rehomers, helping to ensure successful, lifelong relationships.
Alternatively, why not add a donation to your order?
It’s getting harder and harder each year for charities to raise the funds they so desperately need, so your support genuinely means the world to us.
Every donation helps Diverse Abilities to continue providing vital services for the children and adults with physical and learning disabilities we support each day.
By donating just £5 you could help to fund a festive arts and crafts session for the people we support. Or £10 could fund a festive excursion for an individual.
At Margaret Green Animal Rescue, they take in animals who have become homeless due to a change in circumstance, as well as those who have experienced neglect, mistreatment or abandonment. Their mission is to provide a safe and nurturing environment where each animal can recover, rebuild trust, and prepare for a loving new home.
£15 could fund nutritious food for weaning puppies, and £30 could go towards a night in care for a rescue cat.
