Bright Young Things is a showcase of some of the best artwork produced by this years’ UAL students.
Despite the challenges presented by a very difficult year, all of the students have responded well and produced work that is a very high standard. On display is work from some of the L3 year 1, L3 year 2 and Foundation Diploma students.
During their final major project, all students have been encouraged to explore a theme of their choice. Environmental, mental health, feminism, economics and even laundry have formed the starting points for the work on display. The students have responded to the themes by exploring diverse materials and techniques to communicate their ideas.
This year’s summer show at the School of Art proved to be one of the most successful yet for the department. We had many visitors to the show who gave glowing feedback on the work displayed. Unfortunately, not all of the work is on display here, but it is hoped that anyone viewing the show gains a greater understanding of the work produced by the School of Art and the hard work and variety of disciplines and concepts the students are able to interrogate.
The Bright Young Things will now be moving on to the next step of their artistic career. Be it studying Women’s Wear at the Royal College of Fashion, Illustration at AUB or coming on to the next level of study at Highlands College.

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.
An ancient burial site, a rock used by witches, a murderous windmill and a folly…

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.

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.
An ancient burial site, a rock used by witches, a murderous windmill and a folly…
Happen upon all these fragments of Jersey history as you traverse salt marshes, fields, hills, beaches and pathways that wind through the sleepy south-east of the island.
Starting and finishing at La Rocque enjoy a circular walk taking in the delightful rural lanes of Grouville and a walk along the beach and find out the fascinating history of this part of the Island. Please wear comfortable shoes that you don’t mind getting wet.

The Channel Islands Great Summer Festival Has RETURNED.
An all ages celebration of music, food and entertainment.
Sat 4th & Sun 5th Sept 2021. Royal Jersey Showground, Jersey. weekenderjersey.com
After a long year that many of us would like to forget, Weekender is back to brighten up your 2021!
The Channel Island’s greatest music festival returns for the party we have all been waiting for since 2019!
COVID has presented challenges for the whole island and the events industry has been no exception. Our industry has received little support or guidance from those leading our island and it has been down to us to survive. It’s important that everyone realises what we bring to the island, that something special, and that we ensure it survives and continues to get bigger and better.
Across the British isles a number of events companies and festivals have been lost. Others have turned to crowdfunding to save themselves. We feel fortunate now that it looks like we are close to being able to return a year you might recognise and the best way all of you can support us is to invest in Weekender by buying your tickets early!
Your investment helps keep us alive, and enables us to bring you the party you’ve dreamed of for so long. There is no extra cost to you, purchasing your ticket early actually gets you a bargain! But having that security means absolutely everything to us, and will allow us to make some incredible things happen!
After COVID laid waste to our 2020 plans, we are well and truly ready to get back to what we do best, and we cannot wait to share all the news with you over the next few months!
The end is in sight! On Sat 4th and Sun 5th Sept – we will be back at the Royal Jersey Showground alongside all of you, and some of the world’s biggest musicians and artists, for quite possibly the most historic festival we have ever been a part of!
We will be releasing updates on artists and first ticket offers on March 5th exclusively via our new Telegram channel (InSERT address)
Now is the time for us all to come together and realise what special things we have here in Jersey. Support your local scene, support your local companies, support your local creatives – and let’s make 2021 truly special for everyone!

Bright Young Things is a showcase of some of the best artwork produced by this years’ UAL students.
Despite the challenges presented by a very difficult year, all of the students have responded well and produced work that is a very high standard. On display is work from some of the L3 year 1, L3 year 2 and Foundation Diploma students.
During their final major project, all students have been encouraged to explore a theme of their choice. Environmental, mental health, feminism, economics and even laundry have formed the starting points for the work on display. The students have responded to the themes by exploring diverse materials and techniques to communicate their ideas.
This year’s summer show at the School of Art proved to be one of the most successful yet for the department. We had many visitors to the show who gave glowing feedback on the work displayed. Unfortunately, not all of the work is on display here, but it is hoped that anyone viewing the show gains a greater understanding of the work produced by the School of Art and the hard work and variety of disciplines and concepts the students are able to interrogate.
The Bright Young Things will now be moving on to the next step of their artistic career. Be it studying Women’s Wear at the Royal College of Fashion, Illustration at AUB or coming on to the next level of study at Highlands College.

There is also the opportunity to sample some local flavour at the food fair on the lower park.

Bright Young Things is a showcase of some of the best artwork produced by this years’ UAL students.
Despite the challenges presented by a very difficult year, all of the students have responded well and produced work that is a very high standard. On display is work from some of the L3 year 1, L3 year 2 and Foundation Diploma students.
During their final major project, all students have been encouraged to explore a theme of their choice. Environmental, mental health, feminism, economics and even laundry have formed the starting points for the work on display. The students have responded to the themes by exploring diverse materials and techniques to communicate their ideas.
This year’s summer show at the School of Art proved to be one of the most successful yet for the department. We had many visitors to the show who gave glowing feedback on the work displayed. Unfortunately, not all of the work is on display here, but it is hoped that anyone viewing the show gains a greater understanding of the work produced by the School of Art and the hard work and variety of disciplines and concepts the students are able to interrogate.
The Bright Young Things will now be moving on to the next step of their artistic career. Be it studying Women’s Wear at the Royal College of Fashion, Illustration at AUB or coming on to the next level of study at Highlands College.
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.
Catherine Best & Ellis Collection proudly invite you to join us for a sparkling evening of couture, clusters, champagne & caviar!
Included in the ticket price is free flow champagne and canapes, along with recognisable faces taking to the catwalk dressed by Catherine Best and Ellis Collection. There will be a raffle with some ‘quite something’ prizes too.

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.
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.
Pre-book by telephoning Roger on 07797 824721
Please meet at the Telephone Box at La Rocque Harbour.
WHERE: TRINITY, JERSEY WHEN: 11TH SEPTEMBER 2021 (10:00AM)

After a summer of feeling hopeful and positive, the last few weeks and the subsequent rise in cases have seen us once again fighting to try and keep OUT-THERE alive. Alive not just for us, but for every single one of you that wanted to spend your time with us in the Valley of the Unknown at the most anticipated dance event ever on our beautiful island.
Earlier this year we took the decision to move our dates to the 21st and 22nd August to give the event the best possible chance of being able to bring you the kind of party you all deserve – moving to two days to bring you the lineup we promised last year, as well as a completely fresh world-class lineup of talent for 2021.
Unfortunately following Friday’s announcement by the government it is now clear that we will not be able to run OUT-THERE on the re-scheduled dates as all large-scale events have been ruled out for August, as they try to stem the current COVID tide in the island.
We are not going to let this stop us just yet! After urgent discussions with the local authorities, event suppliers and artist agents, we have decided to reschedule OUT-THERE to the 11th and 12th Sept 2021 (Subject to Bailiff’s Permission) and are hopeful that the current situation will have improved enough by then for OUT-THERE to take place!
This is an event that we have all been waiting for now for over 2 years. We have poured our hearts and souls into it every single day of planning, hoping that we would be able to share this outstanding event with you. Despite the number of recent challenges, you have given us your support and seen us through the toughest of times, and what that meant to all of us on the OUT-THERE team cannot be easily summed up into words.
You showed your support by snapping up tickets in record time, with 4000 weekend tickets selling out almost overnight. The sense of anticipation in the air has been palpable, truth be told we probably could have sold 10000 tickets this year, demand has been that crazy. That desire is what has kept us fighting!
The thing keeping us going is the thought of seeing all of you back together again in front of us in the Valley of the Unknown, for the party we all deserve after quite possibly the toughest couple of years we as an island have had in our lifetimes.
We know these new dates may not be suitable for everyone, but please bare with us as we make these changes. It is no mean feat trying to reorganise a festival on such short notice! But you can truly have faith that if we are allowed to run in September – we will make this the most unmissable party the island has ever witnessed!
We have been working non-stop with agents and have managed to move across 80% of the artists from our original lineup, which at this short notice is unbelievable, and will be announcing our full lineups very soon. Any artists that were already fully booked with other shows will return at OUT-THERE 2022!
Your tickets will be automatically rolled over to our new dates in September, you do not need to do anything! Should you not be able to make these new dates we will offer you the opportunity to roll your tickets over to next year’s event free of charge!
Over the next few weeks please be safe, be responsible, and lend your support to our cause. Events and nightlife are part of the cultural lifeblood of Jersey and we all really hope to get back to doing what we do best as soon as we possibly can!
A Jersey Arts Centre Residency in association with Societe Jersiaise
Join scholar, performer, and local fairy Dr Adam Perchard for an hour of theatrical ritual, magic and song at the Faldouet Dolmen.
This piece will immerse you in Jersey’s Neolithic past, brining to life the people who erected the stones and were buried amongst them. Flitting between the worlds of opera, comedy, drama, and academia, your Puckish guide will lead you on an interactive journey through history and folklore to ask new questions about Jersey’s identity. Who were we 6,000 years ago, and who are we now? There’s something queer about these stones. Ask the right questions, and you’ll find them full of answers.
Praise for Dr Adam Perchard’s other projects:
“Dazzling” – The Financial Times
“Hugely talented” – The Times
“Perchard makes song and sentiment throb with life” – The Guardian
Capacity limited to 30 at each performance, so book early to avoid disappointment!
THE WEATHER: Please bring warm and waterproof clothing as performances will go ahead whatever the weather. Please note that no refunds will be offered unless a performance is cancelled.
PARKING: As there is no allocated parking at Faldouet Dolmen, please arrive by bike, on foot, or by public transport, or make arrangements to park your car safely, appropriately and with plenty of time to spare!
11 September – 12 September 4pm + 6pm (50 minutes)

Gates open at 6pm and ‘The Bounce’ will be live on stage at 7pm.
Please come and join us for a full night of live entertainment, as we celebrate music through the ages and our freedom after a challenging 18 months through the pandemic.

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.
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.

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.
After a summer of feeling hopeful and positive, the last few weeks and the subsequent rise in cases have seen us once again fighting to try and keep OUT-THERE alive. Alive not just for us, but for every single one of you that wanted to spend your time with us in the Valley of the Unknown at the most anticipated dance event ever on our beautiful island.
Earlier this year we took the decision to move our dates to the 21st and 22nd August to give the event the best possible chance of being able to bring you the kind of party you all deserve – moving to two days to bring you the lineup we promised last year, as well as a completely fresh world-class lineup of talent for 2021.
Unfortunately following Friday’s announcement by the government it is now clear that we will not be able to run OUT-THERE on the re-scheduled dates as all large-scale events have been ruled out for August, as they try to stem the current COVID tide in the island.
We are not going to let this stop us just yet! After urgent discussions with the local authorities, event suppliers and artist agents, we have decided to reschedule OUT-THERE to the 11th and 12th Sept 2021 (Subject to Bailiff’s Permission) and are hopeful that the current situation will have improved enough by then for OUT-THERE to take place!
This is an event that we have all been waiting for now for over 2 years. We have poured our hearts and souls into it every single day of planning, hoping that we would be able to share this outstanding event with you. Despite the number of recent challenges, you have given us your support and seen us through the toughest of times, and what that meant to all of us on the OUT-THERE team cannot be easily summed up into words.
You showed your support by snapping up tickets in record time, with 4000 weekend tickets selling out almost overnight. The sense of anticipation in the air has been palpable, truth be told we probably could have sold 10000 tickets this year, demand has been that crazy. That desire is what has kept us fighting!
The thing keeping us going is the thought of seeing all of you back together again in front of us in the Valley of the Unknown, for the party we all deserve after quite possibly the toughest couple of years we as an island have had in our lifetimes.
We know these new dates may not be suitable for everyone, but please bare with us as we make these changes. It is no mean feat trying to reorganise a festival on such short notice! But you can truly have faith that if we are allowed to run in September – we will make this the most unmissable party the island has ever witnessed!
We have been working non-stop with agents and have managed to move across 80% of the artists from our original lineup, which at this short notice is unbelievable, and will be announcing our full lineups very soon. Any artists that were already fully booked with other shows will return at OUT-THERE 2022!
Your tickets will be automatically rolled over to our new dates in September, you do not need to do anything! Should you not be able to make these new dates we will offer you the opportunity to roll your tickets over to next year’s event free of charge!
Over the next few weeks please be safe, be responsible, and lend your support to our cause. Events and nightlife are part of the cultural lifeblood of Jersey and we all really hope to get back to doing what we do best as soon as we possibly can!
A Jersey Arts Centre Residency in association with Societe Jersiaise
Join scholar, performer, and local fairy Dr Adam Perchard for an hour of theatrical ritual, magic and song at the Faldouet Dolmen.
This piece will immerse you in Jersey’s Neolithic past, brining to life the people who erected the stones and were buried amongst them. Flitting between the worlds of opera, comedy, drama, and academia, your Puckish guide will lead you on an interactive journey through history and folklore to ask new questions about Jersey’s identity. Who were we 6,000 years ago, and who are we now? There’s something queer about these stones. Ask the right questions, and you’ll find them full of answers.
Praise for Dr Adam Perchard’s other projects:
“Dazzling” – The Financial Times
“Hugely talented” – The Times
“Perchard makes song and sentiment throb with life” – The Guardian
Capacity limited to 30 at each performance, so book early to avoid disappointment!
THE WEATHER: Please bring warm and waterproof clothing as performances will go ahead whatever the weather. Please note that no refunds will be offered unless a performance is cancelled.
PARKING: As there is no allocated parking at Faldouet Dolmen, please arrive by bike, on foot, or by public transport, or make arrangements to park your car safely, appropriately and with plenty of time to spare!

Bright Young Things is a showcase of some of the best artwork produced by this years’ UAL students.
Despite the challenges presented by a very difficult year, all of the students have responded well and produced work that is a very high standard. On display is work from some of the L3 year 1, L3 year 2 and Foundation Diploma students.
During their final major project, all students have been encouraged to explore a theme of their choice. Environmental, mental health, feminism, economics and even laundry have formed the starting points for the work on display. The students have responded to the themes by exploring diverse materials and techniques to communicate their ideas.
This year’s summer show at the School of Art proved to be one of the most successful yet for the department. We had many visitors to the show who gave glowing feedback on the work displayed. Unfortunately, not all of the work is on display here, but it is hoped that anyone viewing the show gains a greater understanding of the work produced by the School of Art and the hard work and variety of disciplines and concepts the students are able to interrogate.
The Bright Young Things will now be moving on to the next step of their artistic career. Be it studying Women’s Wear at the Royal College of Fashion, Illustration at AUB or coming on to the next level of study at Highlands College.
Join Blue Badge Guide Tracey Radford on a journey of discovery around Elizabeth Castle. Peel back the layers of Jersey’s history, climb battlements dating back to the 1590s, explore the turrets and bunkers and visit the Hermitage where St Helier, the Patron Saint of our Town is thought to have lived around 550 A.D.
Built on a rocky islet in St Aubin’s Bay, Elizabeth Castle has defended Jersey for more than 300 years. With Tracey discover the original site of the Abbey of St Helier, and visit the Governor’s House, once temporary home to important historical figures such as Sir Walter Raleigh and Charles II of England.
Take an entertaining trip through the Castle’s long and varied history. Discover just how significant our small Island was in important historical events, through the days of the Empire, Civil War and the World Wars of the 20th Century. Enjoy stories of battles, and their heroes. Explore occupation bunkers, Tudor stairways, and a Georgian Parade Ground, there is so much to see and admire. History, legends, and amazing views – this is a tour to be savoured.
As part of the Jersey Heritage attractions, Elizabeth Castle is accessible at low tide by foot, or, at both low and high tide, the Castle Ferry, which will transport you across the bay to and from the Castle. Elizabeth Castle is the perfect place to spend a day exploring Jersey’s history.
The cost of Tracey’s tour is included in your castle admission.
Tour begins at 10:45 a.m. until 12 noon
Tickets can be obtained at the Castle Ferry Kiosk, Les Jardins de la Mer, West Park, St Helier, JE3 3NU

I will show you through Guided Meditations, Mindfulness, Manifesting and whatever else is brought to my mind on the day.
There are many ways that I can help you, so get in touch today and let’s get Healing…

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.
The Corn riots weren’t the first unrest felt by the people in this era. They had a deal with the selling off of the Seigneurial rights to men who took advantage of the situation. Next came the six-aux-sol, even the weather joined in. It was no wonder that the people rioted but little seems to have been heard of the women, who rioted in their own way

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.

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.

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.
