From today - Easter Guided Tour at the GSPCA and see behind the scenes - 12-19 April - book your place as they are going fast

During the school breaks we run a series of guided tours at the GSPCA and we have now planned for 2017 with some special tours for the children. You can also book a tour for a special event or birthday. 

This is your opportunity to visit behind the scenes at our Animal Shelter in St Andrews and see the work being carried out for the new build.

We are arranging the guided tours on a series of dates at 2pm with the next being held during the Easter break and starting today.

We ask for a minimum donation of £6 per person and £4 per child, or £17 for a family of four or £16 with an Islands Mum card.  In 2017 we have some themed tours which are £18 per child or £16 with an Islands Mums card.

The tours take around 80 minutes and you get to see in many of the departments, interact with some of the friendly residents and a variety of species. The special tours are a little longer.

Tours are a maximum of 20 people per tour, so please book early.

Some of the animals you will have the chance to see will be cats, rabbits, birds, hedgehogs, dogs looking for homes and some of the other wildlife.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "Due to a fantastic response last year we have planned guided tours at the GSPCA during 2017 for the school breaks and some weekends."

"If you would like to see behind the scenes and the many animals here at the Animal Shelter then book by calling on 257261 or online via our paypal link."

"We would like to thank all that have attended the tours and for the wonderful feedback we have received."

"Due to the wonderful Regency Bedding's EASTER EGGSTRAVAGANZA with Island FM and Outdoor Guernsey on the Sunday 16th April we won't be having the Special Easter Tours & Egg Hunts on site this Easter but will run the guided tours and visitors may well get a glimpse of Sami the seal pup through the one way glass we have in our wildlife unit."

"With over 400 animals in our care and the flowers blooming thanks to St Andrews Floral Group its a wonderful time to come and visit the GSPCA."
