And joining them on the red carpet will be something very special indeed – a unique and memorable Battersea welcome of a Guard of Honour from 150 dogs and their handlers. Distinguished guests will then be treated to a champagne VIP reception and gourmet banquet, interspersed with the top billing entertainment line-up.
Revelers will also have the opportunity to bid in one of the most exclusive “money-can’t-buy” auctions, with an array of luxury prizes donated by Battersea’s valued supporters. The event will raise vital funds to ensure the charity continues to go from strength to strength, to help provide a second chance in life to the dogs and cats in its care, as it embarks on its next 150 years.
