On the 11th September 2022 10am to 4pm the GSPCA will once again be organising a day to celebrate the animals in Guernsey and all the wonderful work that is done to care for them.
We are extremely grateful to all those that made last 10 years such great days and we are hoping this years will be bigger and better.
There will be stalls and fun for all the family - all with an animal theme.
Fancy dress to mascot olympics, children's games to lots of food, a fun dog show, arts and crafts to charity stalls, some of the GSPCA animals looking for homes, entertainment and so much more........
This years Giant Animal Mascot event is the olympics. All proceeds for this years race will help animals in Guernsey at the GSPCA so you can help support a great local charity, whilst having a lot of fun. Chose your Giant Animal Mascot Suit on the day or bring your own, details and sign up below......
There are lots of people that we would like to thank for their help and support to make this an amazing day out for all the family and listed below are just a few of them.
The day starts from 10am and will take place along the Sea Front in St Peter Port and there are a variety of events and activities through the day.
