Stall Holder Information for Animal Welfare and Charities Seafront Sunday 3rd and 17th May
The GSPCA and the Association of Guernsey Charities (AGC) are looking forward to welcoming stall holders to two fantastic upcoming community events along the Seafront this May.
The Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday will take place on Sunday 3rd May 2026 run by the GSPCA, followed by Charities Seafront Sunday on Sunday 17th May 2026 run by the Association of Guernsey Charities. Both events promise to bring together local charities, organisations, and the public for two vibrant days of fundraising, entertainment, and community spirit.
We would like to thank all stall holders who have completed their applications and submitted the required details and payments where applicable and we can announce well over 100 stalls and entertainers across the two events.

Event Timings and Road Closures
On both Sundays, the Seafront will be closed to traffic from 7:00am until 6:00pm, with the main event running from 10:00am to 4:00pm.
Due to updated regulations, stall holders are not permitted to set up before 7:00am. All vehicles not directly associated with stalls must be removed from the Seafront by 9:15am, as members of the public often begin arriving early. Stall holders may begin packing down from 4:00pm vehicle access will be when it is safe to do so.
Stall Allocation and Setup
Pitches will be allocated on a first come, first served basis, unless prior arrangements have been made due to health and safety or licensing requirements.
Stalls will be positioned along both sides of the Seafront Road. Please note that:
- No power or water is available organised so please ensure you provide your own if necessary
- Certain areas will be kept clear, including:
- Alfresco dining areas outside food outlets
- Access to Quay Street (near the Nautilus Restaurant) to help encourage footfall onto the High Street
