The Guernsey Together Festival is back and bigger and better for 2023.
The celebration of music, dance, food and drink and a great Guernsey vibe will be held over two days, on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th May, at the Rabbit Warren, behind the go kart Track.
All the best elements that have made the last two Guernsey Together Festivals such a brilliant event are back.
Next week we have our next Guided Tours planned at the GSPCA with team member Karen Lane.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "This half term on Monday, Wednesday and Friday we have planned Guided Tours as part of our 150 year celebrations.”
On Sunday 21st May 2023 the GSPCA held our 11th Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday during our 150th year.
With over 140 stalls, dozens of team members helping and the weather sunny but with a cool wind it made for a truly incredible day.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “We have to thank everyone that made the 11th GSPCA Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday such a special day.”
“The event is all about celebrating animal welfare in Guernsey and what a fantastic day we had.”
As part of our 11th Seafront Sunday during our 150th year we are inviting you to join in our Animal Olympic Obstacle course, with a chance to win some rather nice GSPCA merchandise.
So how do you take part?
Meet our team at the Crown Pier arena at 1.30pm, pop a small donation in our charity bucket and choose which animal costume to wear during your attempt to BEE the best around our fun course.
Once again there will be a fun dog show at the Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday.
Judging starts at 1230pm with registration from 11am with the show ring located on the Crown Pier.
This is always a fabulous, fun, highlight of this special day which is during our 150th year and is open to any breed of dog.
The classes this year include -
We celebrate our 150 year history this year and we couldn’t do so much without our incredible team of staff, volunteers and supporters.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “We have never been so busy as we have been in current years and with plans of new builds to meeting every day demands we are currently recruiting for additional team members at the GSPCA.”
“Sadly some of our fantastic staff are off for new adventures and we are looking to recruit those keen to help animals, make a difference and support our community.”
At the GSPCA we are normally appealing for homes for animals, but we are currently appealing for your unwanted soft toys.
The cuddly toys we are appealing for will found good homes as prizes on some of our games to help raise funds for the Shelter such as our upcoming Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday.
If you have any unwanted soft toys then please pop them up to the Shelter or if you need a vehicle to pick up quite a few then please let us know and we can arrange collection.
This long Bank Holiday weekend the GSPCA reception hours are slightly adjusted but our 24/7 emergency service is in operation as usual.
Our Charity Shop in Smith Street will also have adjusted opening hours.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “If you have an emergency this weekend you can call us 24/7 on 257261 and choose option 2 for our out of hours emergency warden.”
“We do have team members help cover the front desk at the GSPCA 11am too 4pm on the Bank Holidays, but our Charity Shop in Smith Street will be closed on these days.”
This bank holiday weekend we are extremely busy at the GSPCA and we are calling any of our amazing volunteers with any time to help.
From helping with our busy ambulance service to walking dogs, our full cattery to our packed rabbit and small animal department, over 100 hedgehogs to over 30 reptiles, gardening to helping on reception, not to mention our stall at the EDABL Seafront Sunday.
All trained volunteers need to do is pop in and the team will have plenty for you to do and a huge thanks in advance.
