Roll out the red carpet for your canine companion!
Get ready for a unique cinematic experience designed especially for dogs and their devoted owners! The Meads Mutts Matinee is coming to Eastbourne, promising an afternoon of entertainment, community, and wagging tails. Join us for a special screening and more!
Lights, camera, wagging tails!
Prepare for an heartwarming afternoon in Meads Hall in the centre of Meads Village in Eastbourne.
The very first Meads Mutts Matinee, featuring a special cinema screening of "The Art of Racing in the Rain" will be taking place on Sunday, 29th March.
The film follows Enzo, a wise golden retriever, as he navigates life alongside his owner, aspiring Formula One racer Denny. It's a beautiful tale about loyalty, life's lessons, and the special bond between humans and their best friends.
Doors open at 2:30 pm, with the film commencing at 3:15 pm. We will be arranging cabaret-style seating to ensure all our canine guests have plenty of room to stretch out and enjoy the show.
More than just a movie
Before the film begins, browse our selection of delightful dog-related stalls, offering unique products and services for your furry friends. Refreshments will also be available for purchase to keep both humans and canines content!
This is a fantastic opportunity to meet other dog owners, celebrate our shared love for dogs, and possibly be among the first to get your paws on the new free 2026 Guide to Dog Friendly Eastbourne!
We will also be holding a special raffle to raise funds for Give a Dog a Home UK, supporting their efforts to rehabilitate Ice (pictured on the right), a rescue dog from Romania, and ensure she gets a chance at a wonderful new life.
