Dobbies Garden Centre is set to host a series of autumn events at its Shepton Mallet store.

One highlight is the Pup-kin Patch, which offers a day of fun for dogs who can relish treats, toys, and various activities. Their owners can expect a free digital photo opportunity set against an autumnal backdrop, capturing a memorable 'paw-trait' of their pets. Participating dogs will also receive special offers in the pet department, and owners can enjoy a free hot drink alongside their dog's 'puppuccino' with any cake purchase from the restaurant. Owners will also get £5 off a £25 spend in-store. The Pup-kin Patch will be open on Saturday, October 25, Sunday, October 26, Friday, October 31, and Saturday, November 1, with tickets priced at £12.50 per dog. Little Scare-lings is an event designed for children and families, featuring Halloween-themed activities and afternoon tea. Children can indulge in a three-tier selection of savoury sandwiches and sweet treats and get involved in slime and magic potion-making activities.

The workshop includes a demonstration, a Q&A session, and a chance to get hands-on with the planting. The experience will culminate with a three-tiered afternoon tea, including sweet and savoury treats and unlimited tea and coffee refills. This workshop will take place on Saturday, October 11, Friday, October 17, and Saturday, October 18, with tickets priced at £45. A luxury afternoon tea or prosecco is available as an optional upgrade at an additional cost.

"Tickets are selling fast for our planting and afternoon tea event, as it's the perfect afternoon out for couples and friends who love to be creative. "Our Little Scare-lings event is a firm favourite for families, with plenty of action-packed activities, and the Pup-kin Patch is back by popular demand, this year in more stores after it was such a hit last year. "We can't wait to celebrate autumn and Halloween with our customers this spooky season."
