  • PEOPLE! POWER! PROTEST!
    All day
    2022.08.03-2023.01.08

    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.

    • PEOPLE! POWER! PROTEST!
      All day
      2022.08.03-2023.01.08

      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 year is 1793. There is much speculation around St Helier about a fabulous tower that Captain Philippe D’Auverge is erecting atop the medieval chapel at La Hougue Bie.

      Mary Le Brun is known, just on occasion mind you, to engage in tittle tattle.

      She simply cannot contain herself, and has rushed here to see if the rumours are true.

      If your path should happen to cross with hers, she’ll no doubt be keen to divulge little-known rumours of the Captain’s adventurers and heroism.

    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.

    Your chance to see some of the unique, beautiful, unusual and sometimes commonplace objects, works of art, archives, textiles and archaeological material cared for by Jersey Heritage, dating from the Ice Age to the present day.

    13 August at Sir Francis Cook Gallery
    With the Commonwealth Games taking place this summer, we will be showing a range of sporting goods from our collection, from medals to equipment to records of sports events

    The collections that Jersey Heritage look after comprise hundreds of thousands of items, including archaeology, social history objects, art and archive material. The majority of these collections are stored in one of our object stores or at the Jersey Archive, while some items can be seen on display at our visitor sites.

    Our ‘Meet the Collections’ events will give members of the public the opportunity to see some of the fascinating items in our collections that are not usually on display at one of our sites. With a different theme each month, our collections team will be selecting some of their favourite objects to show and will be on hand at these events to talk to the public about what these objects are, where they came from and what they can tell us about our Island’s history.

    Come along and see something different from the collection. All events will be open from 10am-2pm and are free to attend.

    A collaborative concert from Music Managed and Giles Robson

    Featuring two local acts: The Engine – led by outstanding blues guitarist/vocalist Paul Bisson, with Richard Poignard on keys, David Ashurst on bass, and Timmy Bryon on drums; and Ferret and Olly, an amazing duo that provide a far greater experience than you’d expect from just two musicians.

    The stage will then be handed over to Giles Robson. The multi-award winning, internationally recognised Blues harmonica virtuoso and singer. He will be joined by some very special guests…watch this space for forthcoming announcements!

    Giles Robson has had a dream musical career. He’s the only European artist to appear on Chicago’s legendary Alligator Records, who described him as “a blues giant, absolute master of the form”. He is one of only three UK Blues artists (alongside Eric Clapton and Peter Green) to win a coveted Blues Music Award in Memphis (The Grammys of the Blues). His albums are at the top of the world’s most prestigious music magazines’ critics’ polls: Mojo Magazine, Living Blues and Downbeat. Giles annually tours over 15 countries across the world.

    He plays and sings beautiful, powerful, emotional and timeless blues, with a deep groove that’s laden with feeling. He is widely considered one of the world’s greatest blues harmonica virtuosos. He plays in his own accomplished and distinct style that captures stunned audiences’ hearts and imaginations with his mixture of superb technique, rhythmic power, tonal control, and sensitive, emotional expression.

    7:00 pm-10:00 pm
    2022.08.15

    An evening of class, sophistication and the highest quality of music.

    The concert opens with Wonderbrass, a twelve-piece brass and percussion ensemble, performing a set of the very best film and show music. Then you will be treated to a performance from Classical Brit nominees, Ida. As seen on BBC One and ITV, these four stunning sopranos bring you a collection of re-worked operatic arias, chart-topping hits, and musical theatre favourites. Ida’s impressive versatility within these musical genres has seen them performing their mesmerising show across the continents, on the West End, and for royalty at Windsor Castle.

    As Classical Brit nominees, they’ve been hailed as ‘remarkable’ and ‘breath-taking’ by Official London Theatre and ‘quite incredible’ by Gary Barlow. The girls went straight into the Classical Charts with their critically acclaimed album ‘Believe’. From West End Live in Trafalgar Square to headlining festivals in Australia, their recent video ‘Stars: A Les Mis Medley’ has been viewed over 100,000 times across social media. As a proud Jersey girl, Ida member Georgi Mottram was thrilled that the group performed their show at Jersey Opera House and at Government House. Ida has most recently been seen on ITV’s new show ‘Walk the Line’.

    All day
    2022.08.17-2023.01.22

    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.

    • PEOPLE! POWER! PROTEST!
      All day
      2022.08.17-2023.01.22

      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.

  • A Town Tour – Discover Six Jersey Heroes
    10:30 am-12:30 pm
    2022.08.23

    On this gentle meander from St Helier Town Hall, through our charming town of St Helier, where contemporary architecture sits comfortably, and unobtrusively alongside Georgian, Regency and Victorian, meet six Jersey heroes.

    Firstly, we meet the heroes of the occupation, whose stories are told in moving quotes in the paving stones of York Street.

    The second, a young Victorian Lawyer, Statesman and hero of the people.  A brilliant advocate,  but remembered more as one of the greatest of all Constables of St Helier.

    The third, an 11th Century poet, author to Kings and the source of two of the greatest and longest poems in history,

    The fourth, the Historian of Jersey, a Rector, Statesman, Island benefactor, and the founder of our very first Library.

    The fifth Hero of the 20th Century, the man who guided the Island through the trials of the German Occupation during World War II, and proved a constant thorn in the side of the Head of the Occupying forces;

    And finally, we learn of a beautiful and feisty socialite, actress, and author. A women feted on two continents, loved by both a King and a Prince, but who died alone, with only her housekeeper by her side.

    Uncover the stories of the sensational six  – walk in their footsteps, and admire the world in which they lived, still visible in the hustle and bustle of modern-day St Helier.

  • PEOPLE! POWER! PROTEST!
    All day
    2022.08.24-2023.01.29

    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.

  • St Helier Capital & Character
    10:30 am-12:30 pm
    2022.08.24

    The Royal Square was the Old Market Place of St Helier.

    It has seen Royalists & Parliamentarians; Stuarts, Georgians & Victorians; fishing & cider, knitting & cattle.

    It has seen Royalty and Jersey has its involvement in Wars that reached this Square.

    The character of Jersey was formed in oh… so many different ways and this is ancient footprint on which we start our tour.

    St Helier grew over the centuries from a marshy low lying basin surrounded on three sides by steep sided hills to become the islands capital. A castle & a fort defended our capital while a safe harbour was built for Jersey merchants.

    We will also spy a few of the remnants to give us a clue how this was made possible.

    • PEOPLE! POWER! PROTEST!
      All day
      2022.08.24-2023.01.29

      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.

    • St Helier Capital & Character
      10:30 am-12:30 pm
      2022.08.24

      The Royal Square was the Old Market Place of St Helier.

      It has seen Royalists & Parliamentarians; Stuarts, Georgians & Victorians; fishing & cider, knitting & cattle.

      It has seen Royalty and Jersey has its involvement in Wars that reached this Square.

      The character of Jersey was formed in oh… so many different ways and this is ancient footprint on which we start our tour.

      St Helier grew over the centuries from a marshy low lying basin surrounded on three sides by steep sided hills to become the islands capital. A castle & a fort defended our capital while a safe harbour was built for Jersey merchants.

      We will also spy a few of the remnants to give us a clue how this was made possible.

    She simply cannot contain herself, and has rushed here to see if the rumours are true.

    • Mary Le Brun
      10:00 am-4:00 pm
      2022.08.26

      Mary Le Brun will share stories and the latest tittle tattle from 1793 every Friday from May until end of September.

      The year is 1793. There is much speculation around St Helier about a fabulous tower that Captain Philippe D’Auverge is erecting atop the medieval chapel at La Hougue Bie.

      Mary Le Brun is known, just on occasion mind you, to engage in tittle tattle.

      She simply cannot contain herself, and has rushed here to see if the rumours are true.

      If your path should happen to cross with hers, she’ll no doubt be keen to divulge little-known rumours of the Captain’s adventurers and heroism.

  • Batterie Lothringen Command Bunker
    1:00 pm-5:00 pm
    2022.08.28

    BATTERIE LOTHRINGEN COMMAND BUNKER – NOIRMONT POINT, ST. BRELADE’S
    Originally intended as ‘Marine Battery 2’ armed with 4 modern quick firing 15cm turreted guns which never arrived thanks to the success of Allied bombing raids in Europe, Coastal Artillery Batterie Lothringen at Noirmont Point was the only Kriegsmarine (Naval) battery found in Jersey and armed with ex-battleship 15cm guns.
    The ‘eyes’ of the battery is the CIOS maintained large multi-floored Command Bunker equipped with both a 6 meter range finder and Azimuth direction finding periscopes protected by armoured turrets. Originally equipped with state of the art equipment to calculate the ‘target’ location and how humidity wind etc. would affect the shell’s flight, today parts of the bunker are restored to how it looked when operational.
    There is also information on Allied attacks that took place off the headland and items found in the area of relevance to the Battery and those who manned it, and you can even look through one of the periscopes! Knowledgeable members will be on hand to help you with your visit and the CIOS has also progressively opened up a large proportion of the Battery’s sealed bunkers behind the command bunker which allows the interested visitor to explore them and have a better understanding of how the battery worked thanks to numerous interpretation panels found on multiple structures.
    £5 admission, children under 16 & CIOS members free of charge.

    BATTERIE LOTHRINGEN TOUR

    This is the biggest, most detailed book on the German Atlantic Wall fortifications ever published in the Island and is an absolute must for anyone interested in this particular subject. ‘The book is packed with details of the coastal defences – including then and now photos of the fortifications, bunker plans, maps, RAF reconnaissance photos and much more’!
  • Towers Tides and Turnstones – Uncovering La Rocque with Roger Noel
    2:00 pm-4:30 pm
    2022.08.28

    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.

    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.

      GUNNER BLAKE

      Saturdays 11am to 2pm

      Gunner Blake will delight you with tales of his mother’s bean crock, among other delicacies, as he unravels the threads of Jersey’s history.  His skilled gunnery will ensure that you learn how to lead the signal gun in a way which will pack a punch when fired!

      GUNNER BELL

      Wednesdays 10am to 4pm

      Don’t be fooled by Gunner Bell’s impeccable manners and jolly disposition….a lifetime career in His Majesty’s service has hardened Gunner Bell to the wit and humour of the cheekiest of recruits.  His clear-cut demonstrations of cannon and musket fire are something to marvel at.  Gunner Bell does not visit the Castle every week, to avoid disappointment please call Elizabeth Castle on +44 (0)1534 723 971
