Paws on the Beach

A family day of canine celebrations from RSPCA Cornwall, supported by Watergate Bay.
Win prizes for dog shows and best in class, with (the small) class entry fees going to the RSPCA Cornwall Branch.

Saturday 11 April | 11am-3pm
Registration from 10.30am

Entry fee: £2 per dog, per class

Supported by RSPCA Cornwall Branch and Watergate Bay Hotel, this special event will be packed with canine-friendly activities, including a fun dog show, ‘have-a-go’ agility experience, behaviour advice and training support. 

There's plenty of entertainment for children too – from children's agility to creative arts activities and face painting, raffle and tombola stalls. And bakes, cakes, and hot drinks, to keep you fuelled.

Entry fees will go to RSPCA Cornwall branch, a self-funded Cornish charity dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming local animals in need.
