A CHRISTMAS jumper day for dogs is taking place on Friday.

The charity event is being organised by Dog Training for Essex & Suffolk.

It is part of National Christmas Jumper Day for Save The Children.

Dogs and owners are encouraged to show off their Christmas jumpers, bandanas, and other novelty accessories during this free event with any donations going to Save The Children.

There will also be an online photo competition running alongside the event where dog owners can enter their favourite festive photo of their dogs.

The afternoon will include some games and activities for the dogs to take part in, and a Christmas themed photo booth.

The Christmas jumper day for dogs event is being held at Dog Training for Essex & Suffolk at Shadows Pit Nursery, Harwich Road, Ardleigh from 3pm until 6pm.
