A gathering of two legged and four legged friends will take place at Truro Cathedral on Sunday, December 28 at 2pm.

Animals of all colours, shapes and sizes will come together for their own special carol service.

The Children and Pets Carol Service is a firmly established favourite at the cathedral just after Christmas. It attracts a large and sometimes rather noisy congregation, is a lot of fun and brings a great deal of pleasure to all those involved.

There have been some unusual pets come to the service, Canon Perran Gay, said: “One year we had a pet snake. I welcomed all those with two and four legs to the service then had to issue an |apology to the snake for missing him out!”
