You can get to hug a husky at Hever Castle this Christmas.

And when you do, you'll be helping fund a charity which supports huskies, including rehomed orphaned ones.

The partnership between the Siberian Husky Welfare Association (UK) and the castle raised more than £4,000 last year alone.

This year, the huskies will be at Hever's Christmas event each weekend from Saturday, November 26 to Sunday, December 18 and daily from Wednesday, December 21 to Christmas Eve.

Funding from the events goes towards SHWA (UK), which was founded in 2007, help huskies in nee of neutering, vaccination and rehoming.

Catherine Bailey from the castle, said: "We have been proud to support this fantastic charity since 2013. As well as raising money and awareness during this time, several Hever Castle employees have adopted huskies from the charity."

Kerrie Baker, assistant co-ordinator for the South of England and Wales, said: "We would like to thank Hever Castle for supporting us and allowing us to use such a beautiful setting to fundraise. Without support our job within rescue is extremely hard, and the amazing staff at Hever Castle have helped so much."

When the huskies are at Hever, the public can "hug a husky" with Little Red Riding Hood and take their photo as a memento (there is a suggested £2 donation).
