Animal lovers can get into the Christmas spirit this month with the opportunity to meet Santa in support of a good cause. 

Visitors will get the chance to meet Santa whilst helping pets at Blue Cross's rehoming centre in Bromsgrove. 

There will be a chance for a selfie with Santa during the event as well as a raffle and refreshments on the day. 

The event is set to take place at the rehoming centre on Wildmoor Lane in Catshill and will run from 10.30am until 3pm on Sunday (December 15). 

Laura Coveney, centre manager at Blue Cross in Bromsgrove, said: "We hope to see many local animal lovers at our Christmas events. 

"Money raised will go towards helping us to help more cats, dogs and small animals in our care this festive season and beyond." 

Tickets cost £5 and include a gift from Santa. 

There will also be a selection of Christmas cards available to purchase on the day. 

Earlier in the month, the team will also be hosting a Christmas afternoon tea at Bournheath Village Hall on Claypit Lane. 

There will be two sittings, including midday and 2pm on Sunday (December 8), where sandwiches, cakes and plenty of tea will be served. 

There will also be a raffle and other stalls.
