The event, now in its fourth year, ventured to a new location in Whitchurch on Sunday. Sausage dog owners took a picturesque walk around the beautiful lake and enjoyed a day filled with festive fun.

The Christmas Dachshund Extravaganza featured dog-related stalls, countless photo opportunities and a dog-friendly café. Dachshunds and their owners were also able to meet 'Santa Paws' inside a grotto and enjoy free 'puppuccinos'.
