Meet the friendly and welcoming Goodwyf, who looks after the house of her master, Monsieur Laurens Hamptonne in the year 1660. She is very respectful of her employer, who is a well-educated and important man, however this doesn’t prevent her from spreading the odd bit of gossip. The Goodwyf will tell you about Hamptonne’s royal connections and give you an insight into her day to day life, including cooking on the open fire, making soap and candles, and preparing herbal remedies and makeup.
This circular walk begins at Longbeach car park, Grouville to take you on a time travelling adventure through Jersey History with spectacular views, especially on a clear day. Wander through the medieval village of Gorey, and up to the headland of Mont St Nicholas, to find a hidden 6000 year old megalithic tomb and a 19th Century defensive tower. Descend to the Castle, which was once the headquarters of an 18th Century spymaster and Prince, and on to the harbour. The walk is in the most part a gentle ramble. Although it contains a flight of steep steps, it is possible to bypass these if necessary. Toilet facilities and refreshments available at the beginning and end of route.

We catch a glimpse of how Islanders once lived, with a tour past the often-overlooked parish pump in Rue de Causie, and other Jersey National Trust gems.
We continue through the wonderful rural aspects of St Clement and at the top of the St Clements Trail, we will catch our breath and enjoy the panoramic view, including Icho Tower, Seymour Tower, the entirety of the RAMSAR wetlands site and the ancient Grouville windmill.
Discover the landscape of Les Landes with Blue Badge Guide Nicky Mansell.
This walk will start at Grosnez Castle and go along the cliff paths across the coastal heathland to the Pinnacle where we can see the impact of climate change on the landscape. We will then take a route inland and back to the car park.
Amanda will guide you in simple practices to enable you to slow down, quieten that monkey mind, so you may receive the gifts of nature.
Now more than ever, an immersive wander in nature, inspired by the Japanese practice of Forest Bathing, will help relieve the stresses and strains of life .
Take time to immerse yourself amongst the trees through your senses – it will restore your equilibrium and revitalise your whole being.
It is not a hike, nor nature walk where we identify species. Deeply relaxing, sometimes playful, you’ll tune into the plant and animal world. Herbal tea and homemade cake will complete the walk
Duration: 2 hours. Wear appropriate clothing, and bring water.

Welcome to our exhibition which has been prompted by our shared love of colour. Our styles, although very different, we think are complimentary.
We both spend many hours walking our beautiful Island observing and loving the flora and fauna. Gardens too are a major part of our lives and as for so many people this last year we have spent even more time than usual with spade and fork. This is clearly reflected in our artwork!
We hope you delight in sumptuous colour and, even if only momentarily, feel uplifted sharing our love of nature.

Come to the Lower Ward for dramatic storytelling at its best, with gossip and stories from the castle’s chequered history. Hear what it is like to live in the castle at a time when it was the centre of life in Jersey.
By Timberlake Wertenbaker / Directed by Nicole Twinam and Hettie Duncan
“Act like a man. What is that supposed to mean? How would I know what it is to act like a man?”
Telemachus’ father left long ago to fight a war. He doesn’t remember him. Now the man of the house, he must step up to defend his father’s legacy and protect his mother from the suitors that lounge around the court.
This timeless Greek myth has been reinvented by extraordinary playwright Timberlake Wertenbaker (‘Our Country’s Good’, ‘Three Birds Alighting on a Field’) to create a modern, rich and powerful work about a son searching for his father and a father searching for himself that explores masculinity and the effects of war.

That was the quote that best summed up last year’s Seymour Sprint.
Offering the 10km Long Beach – Seymour Slip and out to the iconic Seymour Tower and back again, or the shorter 6km Long Beach – Seymour Slip (not the Tower) and back.
***PRE-EVENT BOOKING ESSENTIAL *** there will be NO on the day registrations.
We’re delighted to announce that this event is “Proudly sponsored by SLOMANS”
Meanwhile, follow this event for updates!
CHECK IN: from 1:00pm SAFETY BRIEFING 1:45pm RACE START 2:00pm
Fancy a 10km Seymour Sprint or 6km Seymour Six? This run takes place along Jersey’s South East coast, out to the historic Seymour Tower and back to the start, racing the tide across this beautiful Ramsar site.
The 10km trail run, from Long Beach – Seymour Slip – Seymour Tower and back, is across the inter-tidal zone, so be prepared to get WET and run over sandy and rocky surfaces.
The 6km run is from Long Beach – Seymour Slip and back (not the tower).
***Unfortunately, due to the timing challenges with beating the tide, entrants must be over 18 only.***
The run takes place over beach and inter-tidal terrain and shoes and clothing will be exposed to sea water and part of the course may be under water. You are expected to use common sense, follow the marshalled route and avoid running over rocky outcrops and through deeper water.
This event will be physically challenging – you will be running 10km across uneven coastal/ inter-tidal terrain, through the gulleys. Due to the risk of tidal cut-off, there is a time limit for reaching the turn-around point (40mins – 5km).
YOU MUST BE ABLE TO RUN THE 10KM DISTANCE WITHIN THE 90 MINUTE TIME SET.
You are expected to be in good health and not have any medical conditions which might prevent you doing that.
In the event of poor weather making the event unsafe, Philip’s Footprints reserves the right to postpone or cancel the event.
In the current climate we have chosen not to provide refreshments, but hot and cold drinks and food bought from Rhona’s just down the beach.

That was the quote that best summed up last year’s Seymour Sprint.
Offering the 10km Long Beach – Seymour Slip and out to the iconic Seymour Tower and back again, or the shorter 6km Long Beach – Seymour Slip (not the Tower) and back.
***PRE-EVENT BOOKING ESSENTIAL *** there will be NO on the day registrations.
We’re delighted to announce that this event is “Proudly sponsored by SLOMANS”
Meanwhile, follow this event for updates!
CHECK IN: from 1:00pm SAFETY BRIEFING 1:45pm RACE START 2:00pm
Fancy a 10km Seymour Sprint or 6km Seymour Six? This run takes place along Jersey’s South East coast, out to the historic Seymour Tower and back to the start, racing the tide across this beautiful Ramsar site.
The 10km trail run, from Long Beach – Seymour Slip – Seymour Tower and back, is across the inter-tidal zone, so be prepared to get WET and run over sandy and rocky surfaces.
The 6km run is from Long Beach – Seymour Slip and back (not the tower).
***Unfortunately, due to the timing challenges with beating the tide, entrants must be over 18 only.***
The run takes place over beach and inter-tidal terrain and shoes and clothing will be exposed to sea water and part of the course may be under water. You are expected to use common sense, follow the marshalled route and avoid running over rocky outcrops and through deeper water.
This event will be physically challenging – you will be running 10km across uneven coastal/ inter-tidal terrain, through the gulleys. Due to the risk of tidal cut-off, there is a time limit for reaching the turn-around point (40mins – 5km).
YOU MUST BE ABLE TO RUN THE 10KM DISTANCE WITHIN THE 90 MINUTE TIME SET.
You are expected to be in good health and not have any medical conditions which might prevent you doing that.
In the event of poor weather making the event unsafe, Philip’s Footprints reserves the right to postpone or cancel the event.
In the current climate we have chosen not to provide refreshments, but hot and cold drinks and food bought from Rhona’s just down the beach.

Welcome to our exhibition which has been prompted by our shared love of colour. Our styles, although very different, we think are complimentary.
We both spend many hours walking our beautiful Island observing and loving the flora and fauna. Gardens too are a major part of our lives and as for so many people this last year we have spent even more time than usual with spade and fork. This is clearly reflected in our artwork!
We hope you delight in sumptuous colour and, even if only momentarily, feel uplifted sharing our love of nature.

Meet the friendly and welcoming Goodwyf, who looks after the house of her master, Monsieur Laurens Hamptonne in the year 1660. She is very respectful of her employer, who is a well-educated and important man, however this doesn’t prevent her from spreading the odd bit of gossip. The Goodwyf will tell you about Hamptonne’s royal connections and give you an insight into her day to day life, including cooking on the open fire, making soap and candles, and preparing herbal remedies and makeup.

ArtsCentreTheatre presents their take on the inhabitants of 221b Baker Street performed by two casts, alternating nightly.
Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson find themselves in a dark and, apparently, deserted theatre with no idea how they got there or who brought them to the place. Suddenly from the gloom a familiar voice rings out; it is James Moriarty, Professor of Mathematics and Napoleon of Crime, who proceeds to hold a drumhead court to discredit the Master Sleuth with Inspector Lestrade as the Judge and the testimony of six women from Holmes’ past cases as his evidence.
But is all as it seems? Is the Professor actually responsible for what is transpiring or is it the work of some even more devious power; and if the latter, what is their ultimate goal?
