See the GSPCA Stall this weekend at GUERNSEY'S BIGGEST MUSIC FESTIVAL this weekend
Guernsey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (GSPCA)
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.
There’s an enviable line up of some of the hottest UK and European tribute acts supported by local bands, showcasing the best of Guernsey’s music scene. New acts will be performing in front of a crowd on the BBC Introducing stage, while for festival goers wanting an alternative, there’s the return of the Tropical Dance Tent. The VIP tent gives paying guests access to a bar, a relaxed atmosphere and a good view of the main stage.
The family zone will return with bouncy castles, the Rodeo Bull and entertainment for all of the family. There’s a number of boutique food stalls serving great Guernsey food and little crafters selling their handmade items.
The GSPCA are delighted to announce we will be a last minute addition with our stall with games and goods on sale so please pop by and say helloe.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “We are hugely grateful to the Guernsey Together Festival for allowing us to join them this year with our GSPCA Stall raising funds, promoting our work and of course we will have Puffin Parade raffle tickets and quizzes on sale.”
“From tombolas to hoodies, hair spray to 150th goodies we will have lots on our stall.”
“We may have one or two spaces for volunteers if anyone can help us through the day.”
“Events like the Guernsey Together Festival are great ways for us to promote our work, raise funds and we look forward seeing all there on what looks like a very sunny weekend.”
“As the organisors have said don’t miss Guernsey’s most anticipated summer party!.”
