The run-up to the festive season isn’t just for families – our four-legged friends are set to share the excitement of Christmas with their very own doggy market.

It takes place on Saturday, December 10, 10am to 3.30pm, at the Matford Centre in Exeter.

Whether it’s that must-have collar and lead, the most comfortable bed ever or the very latest in entertaining toys, there will be a huge range of stalls at the event.

They will be selling everything from accessories to food to keep dogs happy – there’s even a special doggy café where pets and owners can both enjoy refreshments.

There will be some Christmas doggy activities to engage in, including snowball run, doggy party games and a festive dog show in aid of Refuge4Pets.

There will even be a Santa Paws Christmas Grotto, where owners can book a slot in advance and take home a festive picture of their pooch.
