Bowowow's Canine Christmas Cracker

Dogs and their well-behaved owners and friends are all invited to this charity fair for the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, complete with a Santa Paws grotto, festive fido photo booth, competitions and a canine choir. Donations of unwanted toys or blankets for animals in shelters everywhere are welcome, and should your pooch feel the need for walkies during the day you and they can take part in a ticketed Dickensian dog walk around the East End (£12, bookable via www.coutours.co.uk).
