???CIOS BUNKERS OPEN HALLOWEEN!???
STRONGPOINT CORBIERE TORCHLIGHT OPENING!MONDAY 31ST OCTOBER 6:30-8:30PMAn interesting opening of the Strongpoint’s restored M19 fortress mortar and 6-loopholed heavy machine gun turret bunkers where you can explore the complex and spooky tunnel by your own torchlight in the dead of night!
Whether a believer or not, an interesting story (found at the top end of the tunnel stairs) related by a former soldier tells of a fatal fight between two soldiers in the tunnel that could perhaps, explain the stories and rumours of spooky goings on within the complex!
Just ask some of the staff!The bunkers are authentically restored to their original wartime condition and displays are based around information given by the soldiers who actually served there! There is also information on the forced labourers who constructed the site and interactions between the soldiers with nearby civilians as well as an escape attempt which ended in failure on the causeway to the lighthouse in September 1944. The sites give’s a ‘working atmosphere’ feel to the visitor and you are invited to touch and interact with some of the exhibits.Knowledgeable volunteers will be on hand to guide you and give details of the fortifications and the actual soldiers who manned the complex and what they got up to along with an audio commentary explaining the original crew.£5 admission, children under 16 & CIOS members free of charge.DON’T FORGET YOUR TORCH! - 0101.November.Tuesday
Link Gallery Exhibitions
The Link Gallery is located at Jersey Museum & Art Gallery and is an exhibition space between Jersey Museum and the Société Jersiaise. Each month, the gallery features an exhibition by a different Jersey artist, providing local artists with a central space in St Helier to showcase their work.

MY HERITAGE, MY HOME
12 October to 27 November
This free community exhibition explores the experience of Black and mixed-race people living in Jersey. This is a partnership between Jersey Heritage and community representative Debi Morris Monro who has collected a wide range of personal testimony over recent months that will be illustrated by a collection of photographic portraits.
Trade Roots
We examine the evidence of the Island’s involvement in the transatlantic slave trade, including Jersey’s Lieutenant-Governor Sir George Carteret who was a founder member of the Royal Africa Company that traded in ivory, gold and enslaved people in the 17th century; Captain François Messervy of Jersey who was killed in 1722 during an uprising on board his slave ship off the coast of Africa; and Jersey trader Josué Mauger who in 1752 advertised enslaved people for sale in Nova Scotia, Canada, where his business was based.
This exhibition takes place in the Victorian House at Jersey Museum, with its impressive mahogany staircase, because new research has shown that the house was built partly on the profits of the transatlantic slave trade. ‘Trade Roots’ explores Jersey’s historic links to slavery, from Islanders who owned mahogany plantations overseas and traded in slave-produced goods, to those who campaigned for the abolition of slavery.
Thought-provoking, and at times challenging, this exhibition exposes some uncomfortable new stories from Jersey’s past and examines the legacy and impact of transatlantic slavery on the Island’s community today.

PEOPLE! POWER! PROTEST!
An exhibition that explores how the right to protest has shaped and influenced the Island that we know today.
‘People! Power! Protest!’ explores the story of protest in Jersey, from the Corn Riots of 1769 to the Black Lives Matter movement of 2020.
Jersey may be small but Islanders have made their voices heard loud and clear over the years. Jersey has a fascinating history of protest in the Island and the theme of the exhibition coincides with the 250th anniversary of the Code of Laws that was introduced in response to the Corn Riots.
The exhibition explores how the right to protest has shaped and influenced the Island that we know today, from historic protests, such as the Corn Riots, to more recent protests such as Extinction Rebellion and Black Lives Matter.
Among the items on display is the official 18th century court records showing the redacted demands of the Corn Riots protestors, and the petition signed by thousands of people to try and save Queen’s Valley from being flooded in the 1980s. There are also the banners and placards from other protests over the years and photographs of significant post-war campaigns and demonstrations.
As you enter the exhibition ‘People! Power! Protest!’, you’ll see a stunning graffiti-style entrance wall by designer James Carter, of Midnight Industries. Celebrated local artist Ian Rolls has also created a new version of his iconic climate stripes mural in the environmental protest section of the exhibition. Visitors can to listen to stories of protest and share their own memories of their involvement in campaigns and demonstrations over the years.

Hatched, Matched & Dispatched
ACT presents a trilogy of original one-act plays, each directed by a different member of ArtsCentreTheatre; linked but separate, each featuring members of the same family at three significant moments in their lives: a birth, a wedding (just the one) and a funeral.
As everyone knows, these three important occasions can sometimes be the only times that all, (or, at least most) of the members and generations of a family make the journey from the four corners of the circular globe to come together in one place for a shindig. As such, they are an emotional cauldron in which ancient grievances, imagined slights, generational differences and dissatisfaction with the catering bubble to the surface and erupt in the most spectacular fashion. So, strap yourselves in; it’s going to be three very bumpy rides.
Contains adult themes, strong language and is unsuitable for under 13’s.
