Hide AdFay Gibbons, Digital & Events Fundraiser from the RSPCA branch said: “We think World Animal Day is a day worth celebrating and we’re inviting everyone to join us for what is always a beautiful service in a truly stunning church.
"It’s a unique experience to have our furry friends join us in the pews, but if that may be stressful for your pet or perhaps your pet has crossed the rainbow bridge, a photo can be blessed instead.”
All animals are invited to attend, but dogs must be kept on a lead and small animals, such as cats, hamsters, rabbits etc, kept in carriers.
All animals will be blessed in their seat and the service usually lasts around 45 minutes.
