Live Dog Portraits with Helen Ridley

Get a beautiful portrait to hang pride of place in your home. Join us in store with illustrator Helen Ridley as she creates dog portraits using watercolours, pen and ink. Portraits can take up to 15 minutes, so a short 'sit' and 'wait' will be required while Helen captures their character on card.

Tickets are free. Places are available to book from 12pm to 2.30pm. Outside of bookable time slots, portraits will be drawn on a first come first served basis.

Please ensure your dog is comfortable in a busy shop floor setting and that you bring 'emergency supplies' such as dog snacks and waste bags.

Please be aware that Touchwood shopping centre does not allow dogs so you can enter John Lewis from the car parks or the street entrance on Station Road.
