On the 19th May 2024 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.

This year we are excited to be sharing our celebrations with the Guernsey Boat Show, who will be on the Crown pier. 

We are extremely grateful to all those that made last 12 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; humans and canines. 

We'll have a fancy dress competition, children's games area, lots of food and refreshments, a fun dog show, arts and crafts stalls, local charities, entertainment and so much more........

The day starts from 10am and will take place along the Sea Front in St Peter Port.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “We are so excited to announce our 2024 date for the GSPCA Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday which this year takes place on the 19th May.”

“The Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday is the biggest event of the year in the GSPCA calendar.”

“With over 100 stalls to the fun dog show, free kids zone to this year the Guernsey Boat Show joining us there is so much to do and see while helping animals in Guernsey.”
