THE Cornish Seal Sanctuary is inviting members of the public to visit some of the seal pups in its hospital during the October half-term.

At this time of year, seal pups are being born in Cornwall. This means that the sanctuary’s care team have been working hard to take care of pups that have been injured or are vulnerable on the Cornish coastline.

As well as going to visit the pups being cared for in the sanctuary’s hospital, visitors will also be able to part in Halloween activities and educational events during the half-term (23-27 October 2023).

The seal sanctuary at Gweek is also calling upon members of the public to help support the care team to rehabilitate seals so they can return back to the wild.

Every year, the team rescues seal pups in need of care from around the coastline. From wounds to entanglement to malnourishment, there are plenty of reasons why these seal pups might need rescuing.
