The monumental events of January 1781, when a French invasion force landed in Jersey

Britain was at war with France on and off throughout the 18th century. In the 1760s, Britain and Jersey set about a campaign of privateering, or licensing pirating, which inflicted considerable damage on French trade in the English Channel. It wasn’t long before retaliation was on the cards. This display explores that time using John Singleton Copley’s painting ‘The Death of Major Peirson’ and artefacts in the Jersey Heritage Collection. The exhibition also considers the abiding influence of these historic events upon the Island’s self-image.

Gather by the fire for some ghostly tales

Jersey folklore is rich with tales of ghosts, monsters and witches. Gather around the fire in Hamptonne House to listen to spine-tingling tales from days of old. Are they myth or legend? That’s for you to decide!

Watch the ladies of Hamptonne use the Jersey spindle wheel to create local textile crafts.

Every Sunday, Monday and Tuesday / 10am to 4pm

Within the atmospheric setting of Langlois House, seen as it may have appeared in 1770, the ladies of Hamptonne will demonstrate wool spinning on the Jersey spindle wheel as spin the finest quality Jersey 3-ply yarn, used in the creation of Jersey stockings.

Learn about the rise and fall of the Jersey stocking knitting industry and of its significance in the Island’s history.

The world’s largest Celtic hoard was discovered in Jersey, this exhibition explores why people might have buried it there.

In 2012 the world’s largest Celtic hoard was discovered buried in a field in Jersey. This exhibition explores what might have led people to bury a hoard of 70,000 coins and jewellery in Jersey, 2000 years ago and looks closely at some of the items found within the hoard.

Explore the time when Roman armies marched through Europe, 2000 years ago, they left behind them a trail of death and destruction which almost wiped out the culture and civilization of the Celtic people who lived there. Using scientific and archaeological research we can learn more about the people that buried the hoard, about their lives and customs. Ground-breaking research can tell us more about the moment and the place the hoard was buried. It might even challenge some long-held ideas about why hoards were buried.

Explore Jersey’s rich cultural heritage through the Brilliance Trail, which offers a glimpse into the Island’s past and showcases its diversity

Follow the trail and discover several objects across the Jersey Heritage sites to learn about their significance and to gain a deeper understanding of the Island’s people, culture, and traditions. Members can enjoy the trail for free, while non-members can purchase the Heritage 4 for 3 pass to discover the Island’s story with family and friends.

This event is part of the Island’s Brilliance Festival.

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.

This 20-metre long replica Longhouse was built over two years by volunteers, with oversight from Ancient Technology expert Luke Winter. Since it was officially opened in 2019, volunteers have performed day-to-day maintenance tasks using authentic techniques and tools, and act as guides, demonstrators and interpreters to explain the project to visitors. They are also continually researching, experimenting and training to acquire more Stone Age skills to share, including basket-making and flintknapping.

Every Tuesday, a member of the volunteer team lights a fire in the Longhouse using authentic techniques. This adds warmth to the building but also stops any insect infestation in the traditional straw roof. During your visit, the volunteer will also talk about the traditional methods used and the lessons learned during the build.

If speaking to a Longhouse volunteer is going to be the highlight of your trip to La Hougue Bie, please call +44 (0) 1534 853 823 before you visit to check they are confirmed for that date.

Meteorologist Frank Le Blancq talks about some early Jersey weather commentators.

In this talk we will look at the works of some early Jersey writers and diarists. Starting from the 12th century extending up to the early Victorian era, after which the availability of accurate instruments at modest cost put weather recording on a more formal footing.

Who were these early historical figures? What did they write about, why did they mention the weather at all and how is it that they came to provide much very useful information for weather and climate historians?

It’s the weekend and time to hit the town, to go ‘out out’. Part gig, part theatre, and just in time for last orders. Lash takes us on a booze-fuelled adrenaline rush, through bustling streets and bouncing clubs, where big tunes and mad characters collide. It’s a post-Brexit, post-Covid epiphany on a youth, wasted in more ways than one.

Direct from the Edinburgh Fringe, this is the new play from multi award-winning playwright Philip Stokes, recognised by the British Library as a Culturally Important Playwright of the 21st Century, and Olivier, TONY and EMMY award-winning producer Richard Jordan.

From the creative team behind the hit play Jesus, Jane, Mother and Me.

Contains strong language, adult themes, depictions of drug use and themes of suicide.

The SJ Open Day is the ‘last blast’ for our 150th Anniversary, and we intend to showcase the work done throughout the organisation.

We achieve our aims through the expertise of individual members in various fields, through the work of our active Sections which now number sixteen, by means of the resources held in our unique research collections in the Lord Coutanche Library and our Photo Archive, and via community outreach programmes and collaboration with local and international heritage partners in delivering cultural projects.

Each Section will provide a 15-minute presentation, the rest of the time they will each have a dedicated space with table/stands, where they can interact with the public and rally support for the projects they are doing or want to do.

The Photo Archive, Library and Bookshop will be all be open, and staff on hand to interact with the public.

Please find details of the programme listed below:

The World Premiere of a new play in progress about growing up, childhood, and the shows you made when imagination knew no bounds!

Joe & Jack is comedy, drama and physical theatre for anyone who is, or was ever, young – set in a time where rules were made for breaking! Finding their older selves drifting apart, two brothers step back in time to discover how meeting your younger self can still hold significance when moving forward in life. Enter their dressing-up box, bring your inner child’s perspective and be whisked back to days scored by Ultravox and Duran Duran.

From the creative team behind the hit play Jesus, Jane, Mother and Me

It’s the weekend and time to hit the town, to go ‘out out’. Part gig, part theatre, and just in time for last orders. Lash takes us on a booze-fuelled adrenaline rush, through bustling streets and bouncing clubs, where big tunes and mad characters collide. It’s a post-Brexit, post-Covid epiphany on a youth, wasted in more ways than one.

Direct from the Edinburgh Fringe, this is the new play from multi award-winning playwright Philip Stokes, recognised by the British Library as a Culturally Important Playwright of the 21st Century, and Olivier, TONY and EMMY award-winning producer Richard Jordan.

From the creative team behind the hit play Jesus, Jane, Mother and Me.

Contains strong language, adult themes, depictions of drug use and themes of suicide.

Suitable for 16 years +
