Dogs across Southport have been getting into the Christmas Spirit with our Santa Paws competition! 

Dozens of people sent in lots of very cute canine photos of their pets dressed up in style. 

The contest was organised by the Barklays dog friendly cafe which opened last year on Cambridge Road in Churchtown in Southport. 

It was won by the adorable 12 week old Falcon, whose pictures was submitted by Nick McEntee, with the prize of a £10 Barklays voucher.

Barklays owner Lesley Morgan-Macbain said: “We look forward to seeing Falcon in the cafe for his first Barklays experience!” 

Putting the ‘friendly’ firmly into the idea behind a dog friendly cafe, Barklays offers cosy spots for seating both inside and outside.

It is handily placed for the beautiful Botanic Gardens park nearby, a beautiful place for dog walking – as well as being in the perfect spot for people doing the school runs at nearby places including Churchtown Primary, St Patrick’s, Stanley High, Larkfield Primary and Presfield High.

Inside the same building as Barklays is Northam Bears dog groomers, which gives a fresh new look to dogs of all sizes.

It means that owners can sit back and enjoy a delicious cappuccino, latte or hot chocolate along with a range of hot or cold food, with a range of specials prepared daily, while their animals are busy being pampered next door.

There are special treats for dogs too, including freshly baked woofins, brownies, cookies along with Barklays’ famous pupachinos.

There are low-fat treats available too for those pooches looking to lose a little puppy fat.

Customers can enjoy lots of great events, with Barklays able to be hired out for special events including birthday parties.
