Family fun, fur and food: SOLAS weekend extravaganza!

SOLAS Eco Garden Centre is buzzing with excitement as we announce our very first Dog Show, a celebration of our beloved furry friends and the extraordinary bond they share with their humans. Join us for a day filled with joy and entertainment in a dedicated display area adjacent to our food court and outdoor play area. Expert dog trainers, pet groomers, and local pet shops will be on hand. From training tips to fabulous makeovers, everything you need to pamper your pooch will be available in one place. Face painting stations will allow both kids and adults to transform into their favourite furry characters, from adorable puppies to majestic wolves.
