Purchase your Christmas gifts, tuck into some mulled wine and mince pies and have a photo printed of you with a Canine Partners assistance dog and Santa at the Charity’s first ever winter market.

Canine Partners, an organisation which trains dogs to assist people with disabilities, is inviting you to join in the fun on Thursday 27 November from 6.30-9.30pm at its Southern Centre, Mill Lane, Heyshott, near Midhurst, GU29 0ED.

Guests will be entertained by dynamic acapella singing group ‘In Accord’ and there will be a special appearance by Santa. The evening will take place in two sets, the first at 7.30pm and the second at 8.30pm.

There will be a variety of stalls to browse including Dog Exhibitor, Tricia Welling’s Fine Art, Santa’s grotto, Canine Partners merchandise and Ruth Breading Crafts.
