Forty talented photographers from Jersey and Guernsey have contributed to this wonderful exhibition, which is the first to take place in our new museum space at Hamptonne.
More than 200 images, printed on banners, capture the incredibly rich biodiversity we have in the Channel Islands – from birds, insects and mammals, to wildflowers, fungi and sea life, with a focus particularly upon Jersey.
Visit the Aspiring Geopark Visitor Centre to discover how Jersey has been shaped by tide and time.
This FREE Visitor Centre will help you to understand and explore Jersey’s amazing places from new perspectives. So get ready to go out and about around the Island and enjoy all of the beauty and history Jersey has to offer.
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.

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?

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.
Engraved stones found in Jersey are the the earliest art forms discovered in the British Isles
In 2010, 15,000 years after the first pioneer hunter-gatherers arrived in Jersey, archaeologists came to the area of Les Varines to the south-east of the Island, where stone artefacts had been discovered after the fields were ploughed. Excavations took place over the next eight years. They revealed hearths, paving stones of a camp and thousands of flint tools left behind by the hunters. Ten fragile fragments of engraved stone were also discovered, each marked with abstract designs. This display tells the story of the pioneer people, and investigates the meaning of these mysterious stones, which have been described as the earliest art forms to have yet been discovered in the British Isles.
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.

We are what we eat! An exhibition celebrating Jersey’s rich heritage of farming, fishing and food
Our Island identity is shaped by the landscape, our south-facing côtils, the sea that surrounds us. From our iconic Jersey Royal potatoes to our world-famous Jersey cows to our stunning shellfish, Jersey is celebrated for its food.
Step back in time to find an Island covered in apple orchards when cider was our major export, explore the future of farming in an Island with a growing population, and discover some of our local specialities like the famous ‘merveille’ or Jersey wonder.
Our new exhibition will give you plenty of food for thought!

This week we are delighted to join Ariel Luke at her stunning wildlife-friendly garden in rural St Peter.
We will spend time looking at both wildflowers and garden plants, all planted by Ariel to encourage our native wildlife.
Around the property are mature trees and a wet meadow. We shall keep a look out for a pair of Buzzard that nest every year in the old oak tree.
Not only is the garden a haven for nature, the property is thought to be one of the oldest medieval houses in the Channel Islands, dating from the mid 13th century.

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.

Meet the Collections gives you 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 you and will be on hand to tell you about these objects, where they came from and what they can tell us about our Island’s history.
We have all sorts of unusual objects in our collection, come along and see some of the strangest things our staff have picked out just for you.
Tours of our social history store will also run at 10am and 11am giving you an opportunity to see many more of the objects in our collection that are weird and wonderful.
The Société are excited to announce our Open Day ! Come and join this fantastic island event, taking place on Saturday 04th November 2023
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.

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.
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.
Engraved stones found in Jersey are the the earliest art forms discovered in the British Isles
In 2010, 15,000 years after the first pioneer hunter-gatherers arrived in Jersey, archaeologists came to the area of Les Varines to the south-east of the Island, where stone artefacts had been discovered after the fields were ploughed. Excavations took place over the next eight years. They revealed hearths, paving stones of a camp and thousands of flint tools left behind by the hunters. Ten fragile fragments of engraved stone were also discovered, each marked with abstract designs. This display tells the story of the pioneer people, and investigates the meaning of these mysterious stones, which have been described as the earliest art forms to have yet been discovered in the British Isles.
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.

Forty talented photographers from Jersey and Guernsey have contributed to this wonderful exhibition, which is the first to take place in our new museum space at Hamptonne.
More than 200 images, printed on banners, capture the incredibly rich biodiversity we have in the Channel Islands – from birds, insects and mammals, to wildflowers, fungi and sea life, with a focus particularly upon Jersey.
Visit the Aspiring Geopark Visitor Centre to discover how Jersey has been shaped by tide and time.
This FREE Visitor Centre will help you to understand and explore Jersey’s amazing places from new perspectives. So get ready to go out and about around the Island and enjoy all of the beauty and history Jersey has to offer.
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.
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.

Engraved stones found in Jersey are the the earliest art forms discovered in the British Isles
In 2010, 15,000 years after the first pioneer hunter-gatherers arrived in Jersey, archaeologists came to the area of Les Varines to the south-east of the Island, where stone artefacts had been discovered after the fields were ploughed. Excavations took place over the next eight years. They revealed hearths, paving stones of a camp and thousands of flint tools left behind by the hunters. Ten fragile fragments of engraved stone were also discovered, each marked with abstract designs. This display tells the story of the pioneer people, and investigates the meaning of these mysterious stones, which have been described as the earliest art forms to have yet been discovered in the British Isles.
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.

ArtsCentreTheatre (ACT) presents an evening of original duologues, written, directed and performed by members of the group – set on one (or more) of three stages measuring eight feet by twelve feet. One stage has two chairs and a square table upon it, the second has a double bed and the third has no furniture at all.
These pieces are so new that, as we go to press, they are still in the process of being written, but it is already clear that there will be comedy, there will be tragedy and there will be everything in between.
Some of these pieces will also be performed later in the month in the Jersey Eisteddfod continuing ACT’s decade-long participation in Jersey’s annual festival of the arts.
This production will include adult subject matter and strong language.
Suitable for 16 years +
Please note: Jersey Arts Centre will update its website with specific trigger warnings for this production when the final selection of scripts has been made.

Engraved stones found in Jersey are the the earliest art forms discovered in the British Isles
In 2010, 15,000 years after the first pioneer hunter-gatherers arrived in Jersey, archaeologists came to the area of Les Varines to the south-east of the Island, where stone artefacts had been discovered after the fields were ploughed. Excavations took place over the next eight years. They revealed hearths, paving stones of a camp and thousands of flint tools left behind by the hunters. Ten fragile fragments of engraved stone were also discovered, each marked with abstract designs. This display tells the story of the pioneer people, and investigates the meaning of these mysterious stones, which have been described as the earliest art forms to have yet been discovered in the British Isles.
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 young guitar genius is a youtube sensation achieving over 17 million hits for her evocative portrayal of the classic piece Capricho Arabe. Her unmissable event in the 2024 International Guitar Festival focuses on romantic pieces of the spanish guitar repertoire and will fill you with the dramatic flair and colour of spanish life.
After studying classical guitar, piano, jazz guitar and composition at Chetham’s School of Music for seven years, Alexandra Whittingham gained a scholarship to study at the Royal Academy of Music in London. Having been awarded first class honours and the Timothy Gilson Guitar Prize in 2019, she returned to the Royal Academy the following year to complete her master’s degree. She graduated with a distinction, a Diploma of the Royal Academy of Music (awarded for an outstanding performance in a final recital) and the Regency Award for distinguished studentship.
In May 2021 Alexandra released her debut studio album My European Journey, which explores the guitar’s great coming of age in nineteenth-century Europe. The album reached No.1 on the iTunes Classical Chart as well as taking first place on The Presto Chart solely through pre-orders before its release. My European Journey sees Alexandra’s passion for nineteenth-century music combine with a love of discovering lesser-known composers and bringing them into the spotlight.

Forty talented photographers from Jersey and Guernsey have contributed to this wonderful exhibition, which is the first to take place in our new museum space at Hamptonne.
More than 200 images, printed on banners, capture the incredibly rich biodiversity we have in the Channel Islands – from birds, insects and mammals, to wildflowers, fungi and sea life, with a focus particularly upon Jersey.
Visit the Aspiring Geopark Visitor Centre to discover how Jersey has been shaped by tide and time.
This FREE Visitor Centre will help you to understand and explore Jersey’s amazing places from new perspectives. So get ready to go out and about around the Island and enjoy all of the beauty and history Jersey has to offer.
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.

Forty talented photographers from Jersey and Guernsey have contributed to this wonderful exhibition, which is the first to take place in our new museum space at Hamptonne.
More than 200 images, printed on banners, capture the incredibly rich biodiversity we have in the Channel Islands – from birds, insects and mammals, to wildflowers, fungi and sea life, with a focus particularly upon Jersey.
Visit the Aspiring Geopark Visitor Centre to discover how Jersey has been shaped by tide and time.
This FREE Visitor Centre will help you to understand and explore Jersey’s amazing places from new perspectives. So get ready to go out and about around the Island and enjoy all of the beauty and history Jersey has to offer.
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.

Spanish Guitar music at lunchtime – performed by youtube sensation Alexandra Whittingham
Alexandra Whittingham – guitar
https://youtu.be/V2F6RswMYpw
‘An artist to shape the classical world’ – Classic FM
This young guitar genius is a youtube sensation achieving over 17 million hits for her evocative portrayal of the classic piece Capricho Arabe. Her unmissable event in the 2024 International Guitar Festival focuses on romantic pieces of the spanish guitar repertoire and will fill you with the dramatic flair and colour of spanish life.
After studying classical guitar, piano, jazz guitar and composition at Chetham’s School of Music for seven years, Alexandra Whittingham gained a scholarship to study at the Royal Academy of Music in London. Having been awarded first class honours and the Timothy Gilson Guitar Prize in 2019, she returned to the Royal Academy the following year to complete her master’s degree. She graduated with a distinction, a Diploma of the Royal Academy of Music (awarded for an outstanding performance in a final recital) and the Regency Award for distinguished studentship.
In May 2021 Alexandra released her debut studio album My European Journey, which explores the guitar’s great coming of age in nineteenth-century Europe. The album reached No.1 on the iTunes Classical Chart as well as taking first place on The Presto Chart solely through pre-orders before its release. My European Journey sees Alexandra’s passion for nineteenth-century music combine with a love of discovering lesser-known composers and bringing them into the spotlight.

ArtsCentreTheatre (ACT) presents an evening of original duologues, written, directed and performed by members of the group – set on one (or more) of three stages measuring eight feet by twelve feet. One stage has two chairs and a square table upon it, the second has a double bed and the third has no furniture at all.
These pieces are so new that, as we go to press, they are still in the process of being written, but it is already clear that there will be comedy, there will be tragedy and there will be everything in between.
Some of these pieces will also be performed later in the month in the Jersey Eisteddfod continuing ACT’s decade-long participation in Jersey’s annual festival of the arts.
This production will include adult subject matter and strong language.
Suitable for 16 years +
Please note: Jersey Arts Centre will update its website with specific trigger warnings for this production when the final selection of scripts has been made.

Engraved stones found in Jersey are the the earliest art forms discovered in the British Isles
In 2010, 15,000 years after the first pioneer hunter-gatherers arrived in Jersey, archaeologists came to the area of Les Varines to the south-east of the Island, where stone artefacts had been discovered after the fields were ploughed. Excavations took place over the next eight years. They revealed hearths, paving stones of a camp and thousands of flint tools left behind by the hunters. Ten fragile fragments of engraved stone were also discovered, each marked with abstract designs. This display tells the story of the pioneer people, and investigates the meaning of these mysterious stones, which have been described as the earliest art forms to have yet been discovered in the British Isles.
At The Parish Hall in St. Aubin on Saturday 11th November, 9.30am-1pm.
FREE event where you can bring your broken household items to see if we can repair them with you

Refreshments – Free hot drinks, cakes and biscuits.
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.

Forty talented photographers from Jersey and Guernsey have contributed to this wonderful exhibition, which is the first to take place in our new museum space at Hamptonne.
More than 200 images, printed on banners, capture the incredibly rich biodiversity we have in the Channel Islands – from birds, insects and mammals, to wildflowers, fungi and sea life, with a focus particularly upon Jersey.
Visit the Aspiring Geopark Visitor Centre to discover how Jersey has been shaped by tide and time.
This FREE Visitor Centre will help you to understand and explore Jersey’s amazing places from new perspectives. So get ready to go out and about around the Island and enjoy all of the beauty and history Jersey has to offer.
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.

Directed by and starring Denzel Washington, and written by August Wilson, this powerful drama based on Wilson’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play of the same name is a portrait of a man trying to raise his family in 1950s Pittsburgh. Denzel Washington and Viola Davis give tour-de-force performances in this critically acclaimed story of family dynamics, personal truths and the power of forgiveness.
Fed up with life in her New Jersey hometown, Patricia Dombrowski, aka Patti Cake$, hopes to follow in the footsteps of idol and hit the road to achieve stardom as a rapper. With help from her best friend, a mysterious musician and her loving grandmother, Patti leads the charge against an army of haters, unpaid bills and the broken dreams that are holding her back.

Engraved stones found in Jersey are the the earliest art forms discovered in the British Isles
In 2010, 15,000 years after the first pioneer hunter-gatherers arrived in Jersey, archaeologists came to the area of Les Varines to the south-east of the Island, where stone artefacts had been discovered after the fields were ploughed. Excavations took place over the next eight years. They revealed hearths, paving stones of a camp and thousands of flint tools left behind by the hunters. Ten fragile fragments of engraved stone were also discovered, each marked with abstract designs. This display tells the story of the pioneer people, and investigates the meaning of these mysterious stones, which have been described as the earliest art forms to have yet been discovered in the British Isles.

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.
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.

1st Prizewinner and Audience Prizewinner at the 9th Trondheim International Chamber Music Competition in 2017 and hailed as “brilliantly fresh, unexpected and exhilarating” by the Scottish Herald, the Maxwell Quartet is now firmly regarded as one of Britain’s finest young string quartets, with a strong connection to their folk music heritage and a commitment to bringing together wide-ranging projects and programmes to expand the string quartet repertoire.
The quartet performs regularly across the UK, at venues including London’s Wigmore Hall, Purcell Room, Queen’s Hall Edinburgh and Perth Concert Hall. The quartet has toured widely across Europe, with performances at Tivoli Copenhagen, Muziekgebouw Amsterdam, Stavanger Kammermusikkfestival and the Rheingau, Just Classik, Wonderfeel, Lammermuir, Cheltenham and St Magnus Festivals. The Maxwell’s debut tour of the USA in January 2019 garnered critical acclaim from the New York Times “eloquent performers who bring the same series of charisma and sense of adventure to their programming”, and saw the group performing to sold out venues in New York, Florida, California and Washington.
Programme includes: Haydn: String Quartet in E flat major Op.20 no.1 Hob. III: 31; Maxwell Quartet: Gather (folk music of Scotland); Beethoven: String Quartet no.14 in C Sharp minor Op.1

Co-produced by Cambridge Junction and Sheffield Theatres
Two performers engage in an absurd test that seems to shift and change as they work their way through it. Fragments of a language lesson. Questions from a personality quiz. Slogans from some future society. The performers laugh, hesitate, ask for more time. The test continues. As the clock ticks it’s not even certain if the subjects of the test are the audience or the performers.
If All Else Fails is a new collaboration with dancer, maker and choreographer Seke Chimutengwende. Performed with Chimutengwende and Cathy Naden, a founder member of Forced Entertainment, the piece is a dialogue of speech and movement, questions and answers. If All Else Fails brings together two powerful forces in the contemporary theatre scene to create a perplexing and original exploration of new territory.

More than 200 images, printed on banners, capture the incredibly rich biodiversity we have in the Channel Islands – from birds, insects and mammals, to wildflowers, fungi and sea life, with a focus particularly upon Jersey.
Visit the Aspiring Geopark Visitor Centre to discover how Jersey has been shaped by tide and time.
This FREE Visitor Centre will help you to understand and explore Jersey’s amazing places from new perspectives. So get ready to go out and about around the Island and enjoy all of the beauty and history Jersey has to offer.
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.

Jazz en Jèrri – Supporting creativity and making jazz music accessible to all!
Adria Godfrey was born in the Caribbean coast of Colombia. A musically charged environment in her upbringing led to her discovery of great jazz musicians whose influences continue to shape her style.
When it comes to her approach to music Adria is a free spirit with no boundaries. Adria’s Latin roots are always present in her performance, she has a natural flare for mixing various genres and making them work with great finesse, innovation and improvisation. Adria spent time in Cuba among the Buena Vista Social Club crowd as well as regular slots at The Jazz Cafe in London. She has performed at exclusive venues such as Ronnie’s Scott and curated projects of musical art of different cultures. Adria lives in Jersey and is an active member of the local music scene.
“A natural performer with a gorgeous voice and a knack for developing a rapport with an audience” Jersey Evening Post.
Adam King was introduced to jazz by his father, a saxophonist. Adam’s musical journey started with learning to play alto saxophone, he then learned to play bass guitar after discovering the musical genius of Jaco Pastorius. Adam studied Jazz music at Middlesex University gaining First Class Honours. Taking up double bass in the 2nd year of his studies he has become one of the most in demand bassists on the UK scene. He has played with some of the most prolific musicians in the UK and international jazz scene including Peter King, Stan Tracey, Julian Joseph, Joe Cohn, Jim Mullen, Dave Newton and Nigel Hitchcock amongst others. Adam won the 2015 Worshipful Company Of Musicians- Young Jazz Musician Of The Year award. He can often be seen playing at London’s top jazz establishments such as Ronnie Scott’s, 606 Jazz Club and Pizza Express Jazz Club.
Adam is currently based in the UK and has toured internationally with various bands and artists. He has recorded for Warner brothers, Universal and the BBC. He is also a busy composer and producer and writes in many different genres for commercial purposes.
Tim Horsfall is a multi-instrumentalist musician, composer and arranger who has been a stalwart member of Jersey’s jazz community for over 2 decades.
Being from a musical family Tim discovered jazz at an early age and through listening to and transcribing the recordings of such jazz musicians as
Wes Montgomery, Dexter Gordon, Miles Davies and Cannonball Adderley quickly began to develop his ability on multiple instruments, initially including guitar, Alto and tenor sax and trumpet.More recently focusing primarily on guitar, piano, rhodes and double bass, Tim is a much in demand and busy musician performing regularly on Jersey’s music scene as well as frequently accompanying visiting musicians.

Two performers engage in an absurd test that seems to shift and change as they work their way through it. Fragments of a language lesson. Questions from a personality quiz. Slogans from some future society. The performers laugh, hesitate, ask for more time. The test continues. As the clock ticks it’s not even certain if the subjects of the test are the audience or the performers.
If All Else Fails is a new collaboration with dancer, maker and choreographer Seke Chimutengwende. Performed with Chimutengwende and Cathy Naden, a founder member of Forced Entertainment, the piece is a dialogue of speech and movement, questions and answers.

Engraved stones found in Jersey are the the earliest art forms discovered in the British Isles
In 2010, 15,000 years after the first pioneer hunter-gatherers arrived in Jersey, archaeologists came to the area of Les Varines to the south-east of the Island, where stone artefacts had been discovered after the fields were ploughed. Excavations took place over the next eight years. They revealed hearths, paving stones of a camp and thousands of flint tools left behind by the hunters. Ten fragile fragments of engraved stone were also discovered, each marked with abstract designs. This display tells the story of the pioneer people, and investigates the meaning of these mysterious stones, which have been described as the earliest art forms to have yet been discovered in the British Isles.
The final classes of the Music Section will take place at Jersey Arts Centre with the culmination classes of the Music Festival, including the Rock and Pop section, Adult Choirs and Deaf Signing Choir Classes.
Daily Tickets available on the door: £4 per session
Premier Winners Concert: Sunday 19 November 6pm – tickets available on the door.

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.

Forty talented photographers from Jersey and Guernsey have contributed to this wonderful exhibition, which is the first to take place in our new museum space at Hamptonne.
More than 200 images, printed on banners, capture the incredibly rich biodiversity we have in the Channel Islands – from birds, insects and mammals, to wildflowers, fungi and sea life, with a focus particularly upon Jersey.
Visit the Aspiring Geopark Visitor Centre to discover how Jersey has been shaped by tide and time.
This FREE Visitor Centre will help you to understand and explore Jersey’s amazing places from new perspectives. So get ready to go out and about around the Island and enjoy all of the beauty and history Jersey has to offer.
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.

Jersey Arts Centre is once again hosting a wonderful display of local talent in the English, Speech and Drama classes. This section is pleased to incorporate the Jersey Eisteddfod Young Actor of the Year.
Daily Tickets available on the door: £4 per session
Engraved stones found in Jersey are the the earliest art forms discovered in the British Isles
In 2010, 15,000 years after the first pioneer hunter-gatherers arrived in Jersey, archaeologists came to the area of Les Varines to the south-east of the Island, where stone artefacts had been discovered after the fields were ploughed. Excavations took place over the next eight years. They revealed hearths, paving stones of a camp and thousands of flint tools left behind by the hunters. Ten fragile fragments of engraved stone were also discovered, each marked with abstract designs. This display tells the story of the pioneer people, and investigates the meaning of these mysterious stones, which have been described as the earliest art forms to have yet been discovered in the British Isles.
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.

With hot food and live music, it’s the perfect place to buy unique gifts directly from the artisans who have created and produced them. The markets are located in the historic Royal Square in the centre of St Helier, just a few minutes walk from the central bus station.
The Markets will be open:-
Thursday 23 & 30 Nov, 7 Dec 10:00 – 20:00 (late night shopping in St Helier)
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.

Engraved stones found in Jersey are the the earliest art forms discovered in the British Isles
In 2010, 15,000 years after the first pioneer hunter-gatherers arrived in Jersey, archaeologists came to the area of Les Varines to the south-east of the Island, where stone artefacts had been discovered after the fields were ploughed. Excavations took place over the next eight years. They revealed hearths, paving stones of a camp and thousands of flint tools left behind by the hunters. Ten fragile fragments of engraved stone were also discovered, each marked with abstract designs. This display tells the story of the pioneer people, and investigates the meaning of these mysterious stones, which have been described as the earliest art forms to have yet been discovered in the British Isles.

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.
Saturday 25th November, 9.30am-1pm at Janvrin Primary School on La Pouquelaye (behind the old JCG)
Bring along any broken household items and learn how to repair them FREE in a friendly café environment, with FREE refreshments and FREE parking!

Engraved stones found in Jersey are the the earliest art forms discovered in the British Isles
In 2010, 15,000 years after the first pioneer hunter-gatherers arrived in Jersey, archaeologists came to the area of Les Varines to the south-east of the Island, where stone artefacts had been discovered after the fields were ploughed. Excavations took place over the next eight years. They revealed hearths, paving stones of a camp and thousands of flint tools left behind by the hunters. Ten fragile fragments of engraved stone were also discovered, each marked with abstract designs. This display tells the story of the pioneer people, and investigates the meaning of these mysterious stones, which have been described as the earliest art forms to have yet been discovered in the British Isles.
Wow, we are absolutely over the moon with the turnout at our Christmas Festival yesterday & still recovering from the awesomeness of it all.
We are genuinely emotionally delighted about how well it went and would like to thank everybody that took the time to come down to The Radisson Blu Waterfront Hotel, Jersey and enjoy the Vibrancy and Fantastic Atmosphere that was on show.
We would especially like to thank our partners Island Fever Events for helping to bring this amazing event together.
We would also like to thank Father Christmas who took several hours out to be present not only at the Festival itself,
but also afterwards by giving his services for a “Quiet Grotto” session in support of Autism Jersey
We would like to thank the Grinch for not stealing Christmas , but instead providing great entertainment and Paul Watson Photography for the Family Mini Photo Shoots.
Last but not least we would like to thank all the stall holders & charities who had an array of wonderful seasonal gifts for sale & to help create an unbelievable festive atmosphere which we are sure will be talked about for many weeks.
We look forward to seeing you all again next year @followers

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.

Wow, we are absolutely over the moon with the turnout at our Christmas Festival yesterday & still recovering from the awesomeness of it all.
We are genuinely emotionally delighted about how well it went and would like to thank everybody that took the time to come down to The Radisson Blu Waterfront Hotel, Jersey and enjoy the Vibrancy and Fantastic Atmosphere that was on show.
We would especially like to thank our partners Island Fever Events for helping to bring this amazing event together.
We would also like to thank Father Christmas who took several hours out to be present not only at the Festival itself,
but also afterwards by giving his services for a “Quiet Grotto” session in support of Autism Jersey
We would like to thank the Grinch for not stealing Christmas , but instead providing great entertainment and Paul Watson Photography for the Family Mini Photo Shoots.
Last but not least we would like to thank all the stall holders & charities who had an array of wonderful seasonal gifts for sale & to help create an unbelievable festive atmosphere which we are sure will be talked about for many weeks.
We look forward to seeing you all again next year @followers

Gather your friends and family and immerse yourself in Christmas cheer at this year’s Genuine Jersey Simply Christmas markets in St Helier’s Royal Square. Showcasing over 50 of Jersey’s finest artisans, Simply Christmas brings you a labyrinth of stalls oozing with festive magic, beautiful gifts and tasty treats.
With hot food and live music, it’s the perfect place to buy unique gifts directly from the artisans who have created and produced them. The markets are located in the historic Royal Square in the centre of St Helier, just a few minutes walk from the central bus station.
The Markets will be open:-
Thursday 23 & 30 Nov, 7 Dec 10:00 – 20:00 (late night shopping in St Helier)
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.

Forty talented photographers from Jersey and Guernsey have contributed to this wonderful exhibition, which is the first to take place in our new museum space at Hamptonne.
More than 200 images, printed on banners, capture the incredibly rich biodiversity we have in the Channel Islands – from birds, insects and mammals, to wildflowers, fungi and sea life, with a focus particularly upon Jersey.
Visit the Aspiring Geopark Visitor Centre to discover how Jersey has been shaped by tide and time.
This FREE Visitor Centre will help you to understand and explore Jersey’s amazing places from new perspectives. So get ready to go out and about around the Island and enjoy all of the beauty and history Jersey has to offer.
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.
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.

Engraved stones found in Jersey are the the earliest art forms discovered in the British Isles
In 2010, 15,000 years after the first pioneer hunter-gatherers arrived in Jersey, archaeologists came to the area of Les Varines to the south-east of the Island, where stone artefacts had been discovered after the fields were ploughed. Excavations took place over the next eight years. They revealed hearths, paving stones of a camp and thousands of flint tools left behind by the hunters. Ten fragile fragments of engraved stone were also discovered, each marked with abstract designs. This display tells the story of the pioneer people, and investigates the meaning of these mysterious stones, which have been described as the earliest art forms to have yet been discovered in the British Isles.
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.

Eventually, it is intended to extend the Survey to cover all the areas of St Helier Harbour.

We are what we eat! An exhibition celebrating Jersey’s rich heritage of farming, fishing and food
