Christmas jumper walk for dogs - Gibside
A paws-itively festive Christmas walk
Treat your dog to a Christmas adventure at Gibside. For the first time ever, pull on your festive finery and dress your four-legged friend in their favourite Christmas jumper. Homemade, hand-knitted, gloriously kitsch or delightfully over-the-top, the more festive the better.
Join a friendly group walk of 15 dogs, through plenty of woodland paths, seasonal sights and exciting smells. This lead-only circular walk is a great chance for dogs to socialise, explore and enjoy some festive fun together. Every canine will receive a pack of Forthglade treats, and there'll be plenty of opportunities for Christmas photos with Santa's sleigh and our dog selfie frame. Afterwards, why not warm up in the café with a hot drink and mince pie?
Please note:
- Standard admission charges apply to non-members on arrival.
- Please meet the walk leaders outside of the second-hand bookshop in the market place.
- Christmas jumpers are essential for festive cheer, but they're not mandatory. Dress for weather and sturdy footwear.
- The route will stick to main paths and adapt to abilities of the group. It will be step-free but may include hills and steep inclines. All-terrain pushchairs available to borrow from Visitor Reception.
- All ages welcome.
- This is a lead-only walk, so please keep your dog on a lead and under control throughout the event. You'll remain responsible for your dog's behaviour at all times.
- While there'll be lots of opportunities for dogs to enjoy a walk together, this isn't a puppy training or socialisation session. Please make sure your dog is comfortable around other dogs and people before booking.
- Come rain or shine, the walk will go ahead, unless severe weather forces Gibside to close. If conditions affect the event, we'll share updates on the Gibside website, so please check before setting off.
- Spaces are limited and likely to be snapped up quickly, so please only reserve a place if your four-legged friend is ready for their festive day out. We'd hate for an empty lead spot on the walk!
