Red Funnel Hosts UK's First Ever Coronation Tea 'Paw-ty' At Sea

Red Funnel has kicked off this weekend's Coronation celebrations early with an at-sea Coronation tea 'paw-ty'.

The VIP (Very Important Pooch) event was attended by HRH King Charles’ most loved British breeds; the Jack Russel, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and a Beagle for an afternoon of locally supplied treats fit for a king.

Before attending the party above deck, the royal pooches gathered in the onboard pet lounge which is a complimentary service for all furry guests.

The access comes as standard with all free Red Funnel pet tickets, making it the cheapest way to travel with your four-legged friend!

The paw-ty was the first of the Island’s Coronation events that will take place over this week, and for those wanting to escape the hectic London celebrations, the Isle of Wight is equally bursting with royal history. Over the week, top events include:

  • Coronation Day Special at the Isle of Wight Steam Railway
  • Live Coronation screening at Osborne House
  • Northwood House Picnic in the Park

Red Funnel’s CEO, Fran Collins said:

“We were honoured to host our royal VIPs as the first in our Isle of Wight Coronation celebrations.

"At Red Funnel, we aim to be as accommodating as we can to those with furry friends.

"This is why all our pet admissions come at no charge and our dog lounge offers a space for our guests to relax and experience five-star travel."
