With under a month to go the GSPCA are preparing for the eleventh Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday.

In recent years we have seen just over 100 stalls at our biggest event of the year and if you want to join us please do get in touch.

We would be delighted if any other stalls or buskers would like to join us to help celebrate animals in Guernsey.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "As Spring moves forward it just gets busier and busier for us at the GSPCA from the many animals that arrive to all of the events and as well as all this we are preparing for the biggest event in our calendar, the GSPCA Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday."

“Last year we had had to postpone sadly due to the death of Her Majesty, but we are back and can’t wait to for the big day.”

“This year is extra special as it is our 150th so who knows what surprises could be in store but to see lots of ways to support us and other events check out https://www.gspca.org.gg/page/gspca-celebrating-150-year ."

“In 2021 we saw well over 100 stalls booked in not including all that we were doing as the GSPCA and we want to hear from those wanting to support this amazing annual event celebrating animals in Guernsey.”

"We also have our Giant Animal Mascot Olympics which we are asking for those wanting to join in to sign up and we will of course have our fun dog show."

"We are asking any buskers, bands, entertainers or groups that can help to add to the great atmosphere to please get in touch."

"We are calling all stall holders not yet booked in to please get in touch so we can make this year bigger and better."

"Finally anyone wanting to volunteer or help please do get in touch."
