FREE pet workshops are being offered for children over the summer holidays.

Pets at Home in Blackheath Road, Greenwich, will host the sessions this month and next month, teaching youngsters about ways to look after their animals.

The store offers a Furry Friends workshop on how to look after hairy animals like rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters while Scales and Fins sessions focus on fish and wildlife.

Children taking part will also receive an activity book which includes puzzles and activities.

Area manager Paul Doyle said: “This will give children the chance to learn how to care for pets responsibly in a fun and enjoyable way.”
