Follow the Fairy Folklore trail sponsored by Ogier across all Jersey Heritage sites over the Easter Holidays to discover 18 fairy doors and learn the language of Les P’tits Faîtchieaux, or the little people, on the way.
Have the doors always been there or can you only see them if your mind is open to the magic?
Things you should know about Les P’tits Faîtchieaux
They don’t really like to be disturbed, so when you’ve found each door try not to poke about too much.
We don’t want them to move out so just watch, wonder and imagine.
They like to be spoken to in Jèrriais, the language of Jersey. Make sure to say bouônjour.
Les P’tits Faîtchieaux at Hamptonne, La Hougue Bie, Mont Orgueil and Elizabeth Castle like to receive handmade presents, something natural such as a tiny leaf umbrella, an acorn cup filled with rain water or a daisy crown.
The fairies that live at Jersey Museum and The Maritime Museum are practical and can make everything they need, they don’t appreciate gifts, but they do like to receive written messages. Maybe you have a wish or something you’d like to ask them, leave your messages in the jar provided.

Every Jersey resident has an immigration story – whether their family came here 500 years or five years ago. This exhibition explores some of these stories and the ways in which immigration has shaped and influenced the Island we know today
Jersey’s first permanent settlers arrived around 7,000 years ago. They were driven by a changing climate to seek a new and sheltered place where they could plant their crops and raise their families. Since that time, waves of immigrants have arrived in Jersey.
Some were fleeing religious or political persecution and they found refuge in this Island. Others were economic migrants seeking a better way of life for themselves and their families, from retired English army officers in the 19th century to Breton farm workers in the early 20th century.
Normal entry fee applies, Jersey Heritage Members go FREE.

Families are invited to come along to help our team protect this important SSI by removing the invasive Purple Dew Plant
Purple Dew Plant is a non-native invasive plant that spreads quickly and suffocates many other small, delicate native plants.

Come along to help our team remove the plants and find out more about the work they do to protect this important habitat.
Please note that in line with COVID-19 outdoor gathering guidelines, this event is limited to 5 children and one accompanying adult per child.

Families are invited to lend a hand to clean up nurdles from the SSI around the White House

To ensure safety under COVID guidelines, the group size is limited to 20. To help us to limit numbers, please book one ticket per child, and ensure only one accompanying adult attends per child.

Families are invited to lend a hand to clean up nurdles from the SSI around the White House
Nurdles are small plastic pellets which have ended up at sea. So small they largely go unnoticed, they release harmful chemicals into the water and are mistaken as food by many marine animals meaning that they enter the food chain.
Join Plastic-Free-Jersey and our Education Officer at Le Don Hilton (the White House) to help this important SSI by finding and correctly disposing of these Nurdles, along with other waste discovered along the way.
To ensure safety under COVID guidelines, the group size is limited to 20. To help us to limit numbers, please book one ticket per child, and ensure only one accompanying adult attends per child.

Every Jersey resident has an immigration story – whether their family came here 500 years or five years ago. This exhibition explores some of these stories and the ways in which immigration has shaped and influenced the Island we know today
Jersey’s first permanent settlers arrived around 7,000 years ago. They were driven by a changing climate to seek a new and sheltered place where they could plant their crops and raise their families. Since that time, waves of immigrants have arrived in Jersey.
Some were fleeing religious or political persecution and they found refuge in this Island. Others were economic migrants seeking a better way of life for themselves and their families, from retired English army officers in the 19th century to Breton farm workers in the early 20th century.
