24th February Purple Poppy Day 2025

 

Join us at 11am for our War Animal Memorial Service!

Each year we host a War Animal Memorial Service to remember all our animals, past and present, who have served alongside our military; in World War I alone it is estimated that more than 8 million animals sacrificed their lives.
As part of our 2025 Memorial Service, we will also be posthumously presenting a special AWAMO award for distinguished service to explosive detection dogs Chuck and Yardley. 
Join us on the day and you can meet patrol dogs Keno and Havoc, infantry support dog Ace and explosive detection dog Flicka who will all be joining us on the day with their handlers, together with horses, pet dogs and even a chicken.
 
All are welcome to attend this free outdoor service!
