Milton Keynes What's On Guide

From canine companions to feline and feathered friends, reptiles and rodents – all creatures great and small are invited to a special service of thanksgiving for animals.

The annual animal blessing service will be taken by Reverends Mindy Bell, Andy Jowitt and Allan Jones at the Cathedral of Trees on Sunday 20th May 2012 at 3.00pm.

The service has been arranged to give special thanks for all the pleasure owners get from their pets and assistance animals and to celebrate their animals as a wonderful part of life.

Parking for the Cathedral of Trees is on Livingstone Drive, off the V10 Brickhill Street.

The service is expected to last 30 to 45 minutes and will be undertaken whatever the weather so please come prepared for rain or shine.

All visitors are asked to be responsible pet owners and keep their pets under close control so that the service and the cathedral can be enjoyed by all.
