Research has revealed that Worcester is the fifth most dog-friendly Christmas city in the UK.

A study by CasinoTop3 compared data across 31 major towns and cities across Britain, with Oxford topping the list.

Worcester was ranked based on several factors, including the number of Christmas events for dogs, the increase of Christmas lights and average days of snow in December.

2,904 Christmas events were deemed friendly for dogs in the city while the amount of seasonal lights increased by 15 per cent, which benefits our furry friends, who can struggle with the days getting darker.
