Mondays May to September
10am to 4pm
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. ,
A Town Tour - Discover Six Jersey Heroes
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!
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 Queen`s Visits To Jersey

St Helier Capital & Character
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.
