IT was not so much Santa Claus as Santa Paws when a beloved television dog from Blue Peter visited a popular festive attraction near Malvern.

Blue Peter celebrated Christmas at Winter Glow at the Three Counties Showground where the programme's much-loved dog, Henry, met Father Christmas and walked the light trail.

Winter Glow appeared on Blue Peter on Friday, December 6 after the show's beloved dog, Henry the beagle-basset hound cross, paid a visit to Father Christmas.

During the visit, Henry discovered if he was on the naughty or nice list, received presents from Santa, met Mrs Claus in her bakery, and walked the illuminated light trail.

Its dedicated Santa Paws evenings offer pet lovers the opportunity to bring their dogs to meet Father Christmas and 'walk the magical illuminated light trail'.

Jenna Marks, director at Winter Glow said: "We're all huge fans of Blue Peter at Winter Glow so it was a very special moment to host Henry at the event.

"We don't believe any member of the family should be left out of the festive fun, and we're so looking forward to welcoming more furry friends - and their humans - as part of our dedicated dog-friendly evenings in the coming weeks."
