Guide Dogs Puppy Training Sessions (Wednesdays)

The centre provides free use of its facilities to Guide Dogs for weekly puppy training sessions. These sessions support guide dog puppies under one year of age as they begin their first stage of training. The shopping centre offers a safe, accessible environment where puppies can develop confidence, become familiar with busy public spaces, interact with members of the public, and socialise with other dogs. This valuable partnership helps prepare the puppies for their future role as guide dogs while also providing visitors with an opportunity to learn more about the Guide Dogs charity and its work.
