Easter Saturday Duck Race
Every year up to 1,300 yellow ducks, which have been numbered individually on their bottoms, are launched into the stream at Le Perquage at Sandybrook.
They ‘race’ downstream to the finishing point and the first three ducks across the line win a prize.
The event, which is generously sponsored by Romerils, includes plenty of other activities for families to enjoy along the Perquage, including charity stalls, a bouncy castle and face-painting.
Dr Helen Miles, Vice Chairman of Autism Jersey, said: “Every year the duck race is a great, fun event with lots of families coming down to take part. We are grateful to Romerils for their support.”
Exhibition at Le Moulin de Quétivel: Until You Became Me
Jersey’s only working watermill is brought to life with a new exhibition exploring how water connects us to each other and the environment.Artists Karen Le Roy Harris and Miriam Sedacca transform Le Moulin de Quétivel into an immersive space using sculpture, installation, film and performance to expose the vital, yet fragile, relationship we all have with water.
Having previously toured to Stroud and London, it was a natural progression for Karen, who is from Jersey, to bring Until You Became Me to Le Moulin de Quétivel, where water power has been harnessed for milling wheat for generations.
Suitable for all ages, the exhibition includes a soundscape by Heather Ryall marrying the sounds from the natural environment with sounds from domestic life; a new film, partially filmed underwater in Jersey, addressing the relationship Islanders have with the ocean and fresh water; and an installation of ceramic anthropomorphic forms presented alongside found objects from rivers.
