A Macclesfield pet food store is hoping to raise thousands for local charities. 

Pet Food Supplies, located on 70 Moss Lane, will be hosting a festive event for your furry friends to raise money for multiple Macclesfield charities.

Pet Food Supplies Owner and Manager Gayle Parks explained what it is all about. 

"Santa Paws and our early Black Friday sale will take place on Sunday November 20," said Gayle. 

"You can bring your dog to see Santa, for just £7. Your dog will get a gift, it could be a toy or a treat. 

"You also get a picture of your dog and Santa that you can take away on a card. That is included within the price. 

The store will also be selling Christmas-themed pet products like brussel sprout chew toys and doggy advent calendars. (Image - Alexander Greensmith / Macclesfield Nub News)

"All of the £7 will raise money for local charities Windyway Trust and East Cheshire Hospice. 

"It is the first time we have done this fundraiser in three years because of COVID, and we have combined it with our Black Friday sale, so you can get amazing offers on our pet food and other items.

"Local Scouts will be here too, and a few other stalls too. They'll be selling a selection of homemade cakes.

"There's also free samples for Macclesfield's horses, dogs and cats. This includes Dog food brand Eden. They sell delicious food made locally in Stoke, and it is our best-selling dog food.

"We will also have a few fishing companies that we stock coming, to raise awareness for our new fishing room which opened upstairs last winter." 

The five hour event takes place on November 20 from 11am to 4pm. 

It is extra special for the family business as the shop isn't normally open on a Sunday. 

There will be free balloon modelling and face painting as well.

Millbank Drive good cause East Cheshire Hospice will receive half of the money raised from furry friends going to see Santa.
