Special spine-tingling prizes will be awarded for the highest fundraiser and best-dressed Dasher, so dust off your broomsticks, show us your spookiest Halloween outfits or even come dressed as your favourite nocturnal animal!

All runners will receive an exclusive finisher medal, refreshments at the finish line, and free entry to the zoo, where our fang-tastic Museum of Bones pop-up event will be taking place for all to enjoy.

DO IT FOR DURRELL

You can stop other animals from disappearing like the dodo! All that remains of this historic bird is a skeleton, but you can make a difference to endangered wildlife across the globe and prevent further species from going extinct. Set up your own fundraising page today so that friends and family can show their support! All funds raised will go towards providing exemplary care for the animals at Jersey Zoo and support global conservation efforts to create a future where wildlife can thrive.

If you do not plan to set up your own fundraising page, please consider making a donation at registration. Thank you!

This event is kindly sponsored by Rathbones.

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.

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.

This circular walk begins at Longbeach car park, Grouville to take you on a time travelling adventure through Jersey History with spectacular views, especially on a clear day. Wander through the medieval village of Gorey, and up to the headland of Mont St Nicholas, to find a hidden 6000 year old megalithic tomb and a 19th Century defensive tower. Descend to the Castle, which was once the headquarters of an 18th Century spymaster and Prince, and on to the harbour. The walk is in the most part a gentle ramble. Although it contains a flight of steep steps, it is possible to bypass these if necessary. Toilet facilities and refreshments available at the beginning and end of route.  Liberty Bus Route 1 / 1a

Advance booking is required.

Cost £15 per person

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 250^th 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 18^th 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.
