Can you keep still for at least 15 seconds? That’s how long it took for your photograph to be taken in the 1860s. Once again, renowned Victorian photographer Thomas CR Kennedy will be revisiting the Victorian House at Jersey Museum & Art Gallery. He will be accompanied by his good lady wife and assistant Annigna.
Come in your own Victorian attire, or select an outfit from our wardrobe, and take away as a souvenir your own Carte de Visite portrait photograph.

Join Roger Noel on a fascinating exploration of the South-East corner of Jersey, from coastline to country lanes and back again.
This circular walk begins at La Rocque Harbour where you can hear about the fascinating history of this harbour and former fishing port. See where the invading French troops landed on a cold winter’s night of 5th January 1781, and learn of the 18th and 20th century fortifications that now protect this area of coastline, which is also a designated area of special interest, and protected Ramsar site.
From La Rocque you wander inland, venturing into the countryside, to enjoy fantastic views, catch glimpses of visiting and local birdlife, and hear a little of our agriculture and oyster farming industries.
The walk returns full circle, through the country lanes, following the route of the old Jersey Eastern Railway, and heads back to the beach, for a final stroll along the shoreline returning to La Rocque Harbour.
This gentle stroll, which encounters no hills and just a few steps, will take approximately three hours, with a chance of a well earned refreshment at the end.

“When it comes to her approach to music, Adria is a spirit that knows no boundaries. In addition to having a beautiful voice and the uncanny ability to connect with her audience, she is a natural performer.
When Adria performs, she will transport you back to her Latin musical roots, accompanied by her band. Infusing a contemporary edge into this irresistible music, this band creates an absolutely sensational and authentic musical experience for the audience.

Meet the retired Castle archer who now maintains and repairs the armour of the Castle Garrison.

A proficient leather-worker, able to demonstrate the types of leather, skins and fur used by different classes of Medieval society.
As Viscount of Jersey during the English Civil War, 1642 – 1651, it was Laurens Hamptonne’s duty to make some of the most important public announcements of the time. In January 1649, shortly after the execution of King Charles I, Hamptonne made his most memorable pronouncements in the Royal Square, St Helier; the reading of the Proclamation of Charles II as King. When not at work int he Royal Count, Laurens enjoys entertaining visitors in his beautiful country home with stories of a time when Jersey was in the eye of the story, as Royalists and Parliamentarians crashed together on the shores of the Channel Islands. ,
Inspired by the remarkable true story of the family behind the Gucci fashion empire, this award-winning film stars Lady Gaga, Jared Leto, Adam Driver and Al Pacino.

Shakespeare’s shortest and funniest play, performed in the beautiful grounds of Samares Manor. This colourful, lively and sparkling production has something for everyone; physical comedy, music, dance, magic and, of course, the Bard’s beautiful words.
The Comedy of Errors is a seemingly straightforward tale, with the action taking place in the course of a single day. After both being separated in a shipwreck from their twins, Antipholus and Dromio of Syracuse have scoured the world to find their long lost brothers. They arrive in Ephesus blissfully unaware that their twins live there. The new arrivals trigger a series of hilarious incidents of mistaken identity which leads to accusations of infidelity, insanity and theft.
Will they finally find their twin brothers? Will they be reunited with their parents? There’s only one way to find out!
Bring your family, bring your friends, bring a picnic and laugh until your sides split.
Picnicking from 6pm with pre-show entertainment from 7.15pm.
Samares Players Patron: Vincent Obbard / In memory of Michael Vardon

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.
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.
The Link Gallery is free for Jersey Heritage Members and non-Members
Light & Land Dawn
Burrows and Stephanie Rondel
4 July 2022 – 28 July 2022
Through their paintings, local artists and art teachers Dawn Burrows and Stephanie Rondel explore their relationship with the Island’s landscape. The exhibition features not only iconic landmarks but takes a closer look at the transient nature of light on the land.
Both artists explore the landscape, longing to capture brief moments when the tide recedes, unveiling the mirroring of the sea and sky. Their work evokes a stillness in a constantly fluid environment, and a vastness in the light and land.
Meet the Regimental Surgeon of the 95th Regiment of Foot and his Nursing Assistant to find out about the battle wounds and their treatments in the 18th century.

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.
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.
The Link Gallery is free for Jersey Heritage Members and non-Members

Burrows and Stephanie Rondel

Both artists explore the landscape, longing to capture brief moments when the tide recedes, unveiling the mirroring of the sea and sky. Their work evokes a stillness in a constantly fluid environment, and a vastness in the light and land.

100km A leg stretch of a route around the Island, taking in many hills and stunning scenery as you go.
50km A challenge but achievable, the 50km route is designed for cyclists who want to be challenged but don’t feel confident taking on the full 100km. Features some hills and leg stretch areas.
24km Family Route A great route for the younger cyclists, starting at Albert pier and following the cycle track all the way to Corbiere and back.
7km Family Route Our newest route, and something for the novice and young cyclists, or those on scooters and balance bikes, this route starts at Albert Pier and follows the cycle track to the burger bar and back.
*Please note: Route maps and Strava routes will be updated and communicated in June.
Bikes:
This year we have opened allowed bikes to include electric bikes, to enable more people to take part. Why not hire an Evie bike and take on one of the routes.
Please note: scooters and balance bikes are only permitted on the 7km route.

‘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.

Claude Cahun steps out of time, removes her masks, and takes us behind her enigmatic photographic self-portraits.
She conjures up a Chorus of Cahuns to enact her extraordinary life story from a difficult childhood in provincial Nantes, via the political and creative excitement of Paris, to an idyllic retreat in Jersey, while always challenging conventions of gender and identity.
During the Occupation, together with her life partner Marcel Moore, Cahun engages all of her skills as a writer and artist, risking her life to heroically resist the Nazis through her persona The Soldier With No Name.
This new play by Jacqueline Mézec, commissioned by Jersey Arts Centre and directed by Daniel Austin, is provocative, inspiring and moving with its black humour, vivid storytelling and poetry.
Suitable for 9 years +

Coproduction 2022 Opéra de Rennes, Angers Nantes Opéra, avec le soutien de la Fondation Orange et La Caisse d’Epargne Bretagne Pays-de-Loire.
Madame Butterfly is one of the most performed and appreciated operas in the world. The Maggio Musicale Fiorantino’s production by Fabio Ceresa, with its Japanese aesthetic, underlines all its elegance.
The tragic love story takes place in Japan, the land of all fantasies at the beginning of the 20th century. A young geisha, Cio Cio San is seduced and then abandoned by an indifferent American officer. While she dreams of his return, Pinkerton actually returns, but with his new wife and to get his child back. This story of thwarted love also illustrates the clash of cultures between two civilisations at the beginning of the 20th century, a question of otherness that has a particularly strong echo today.
Opera sung in Italian, with French subtitles. Duration 2h45, including intermission.
This will be a projection of Rennes Opera’s performance on June 16th 2022.
Funded by the Government of Jersey. FREE entry to all. Limited capacity of 120 seats

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

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.
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.
The Link Gallery is free for Jersey Heritage Members and non-Members
Light & Land Dawn
Burrows and Stephanie Rondel
4 July 2022 – 28 July 2022
Through their paintings, local artists and art teachers Dawn Burrows and Stephanie Rondel explore their relationship with the Island’s landscape. The exhibition features not only iconic landmarks but takes a closer look at the transient nature of light on the land.
Both artists explore the landscape, longing to capture brief moments when the tide recedes, unveiling the mirroring of the sea and sky. Their work evokes a stillness in a constantly fluid environment, and a vastness in the light and land.
