With a suggested donation of £1, visitors can grab a map to guide you to all 12 Snowdog sculptures, each uniquely located around Buxton town.
Maps are available at key locations, including the Blythe House Hospice Buxton charity shop, Sacro Lounge Buxton, Poole’s Cavern, The Pump Room, The Palace Hotel, Markovitz Buxton, and the Pavilion Gardens Café.
As you explore, keep an eye out for a special letter on each Snowdog. Once you’ve collected all 12 it will reveal a festive phase and you can use it enter an online competition to win a £100 voucher.
The trail has been created by Wild in Art, in collaboration with Snowdog Enterprises Ltd (a Penguin Random House Children’s company), and is supported by Markovitz Ltd, in aid of Blythe House Hospice, which helps those affected by life-limiting illnesses in Buxton and across North Derbyshire.
At the end of the trail, on December 19, the special and unique pups will be auctioned off to raise further funds for the hospice.
