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!
Meet Sir Walter at the Castle and he’ll tell you about his adventures at sea
Sir Walter Raleigh has been described as ‘great man of the Elizabethan age’, and ‘Jersey’s most distinguished Governor’, being poet, soldier, historian and explorer, among other things. He was a favourite of Elizabeth I and a ‘peacock’, always in the latest fashion with good looks and obvious charm. Raleigh was also responsible for the preservation of Mont Orgueil Castle from destruction at the time when Elizabeth Castle was being built.
This is your chance to meet Sir Walter in the Lower Ward as he takes you on a tour of the Castle as he recounts his adventures at sea as the most famous explorer of the Elizabethan Age.
Meet Sir Walter Raleigh every Wednesday at Mont Orgueil Castle.
If meeting Sir Walter is going to be the highlight of your trip to Mont Orgueil Castle, please call +44 (0)1534 853 292 before you visit to check that performances are confirmed for that date.
Meet Rose Le Brun, the Bouonnefemme at Hamptonne, who will let you in on local secrets and village gossip
Rose’s predecessor, Old Maud, had been at Hamptonne for years, but she travelled to St Aubin to see family and never returned. Perhaps the plague got her – they had a lot of it down there.
Rose was born in the parish of St Lawrence in 1606 and lived in the Vingtaine du Coin Motier, where Hamptonne House stands, all her life. She serves as housekeeper for Jurat Laurens Hamptonne, who himself witnessed Rose lugging a large poutchie of apples up the hill, and thought her constitution would be fitting to take charge of his household.
Meet the Bouonnefemme at Hamptonne from Tuesday to Friday from 10am to 4pm (except first Friday of the month when the performance will be on a Saturday)
If meeting the Bouonnefemme is going to be the highlight of your trip to Hamptonne Country Life Museum, please call +44 (0) 1534 863 955 before you visit to check that performances are confirmed for that date.

The world’s largest Celtic hoard was discovered in Jersey, this exhibition explores why people might have buried it there.
In 2012 the world’s largest Celtic hoard was discovered buried in a field in Jersey. This exhibition explores what might have led people to bury a hoard of 70,000 coins and jewellery in Jersey, 2000 years ago and looks closely at some of the items found within the hoard.
Explore the time when Roman armies marched through Europe, 2000 years ago, they left behind them a trail of death and destruction which almost wiped out the culture and civilization of the Celtic people who lived there. Using scientific and archaeological research we can learn more about the people that buried the hoard, about their lives and customs. Ground-breaking research can tell us more about the moment and the place the hoard was buried. It might even challenge some long-held ideas about why hoards were buried.
Girlguiding Jersey are excited to present Peter Pan Jr with a cast of Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Rangers.

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 Tour is of the WW2 German Resistance Nest Mole Verclut, which we call the St Catherine’s Bunker locally. This tour provides a guided walk around the Bunker and Tunnels the occupying German forces built during the Second World War.
At the start of the war, this was a low-priority site for the Germans, but by July 1944, it faced the American lines, which were now 14 miles away on the coast of France; by August 1944, the area was upgraded to include an artillery battery and a 150cm coastal searchlight. This is the only way to visit this site, and all funds raised from this tour are going back into the restoration of this site.

The world’s largest Celtic hoard was discovered in Jersey, this exhibition explores why people might have buried it there.
In 2012 the world’s largest Celtic hoard was discovered buried in a field in Jersey. This exhibition explores what might have led people to bury a hoard of 70,000 coins and jewellery in Jersey, 2000 years ago and looks closely at some of the items found within the hoard.
Explore the time when Roman armies marched through Europe, 2000 years ago, they left behind them a trail of death and destruction which almost wiped out the culture and civilization of the Celtic people who lived there. Using scientific and archaeological research we can learn more about the people that buried the hoard, about their lives and customs. Ground-breaking research can tell us more about the moment and the place the hoard was buried. It might even challenge some long-held ideas about why hoards were buried.
The Atlantic Wall – with Roger Noel, Jersey Uncovered
This guided walk with Roger takes you on a circular route of the beautiful bay of St Ouen, scattered with German fortifications from the Atlantic Wall here in Jersey.
Gain a unique perspective on these wartime relics, structures that dramatically changed the bay’s features, which serve as sombre reminder of a not-so-distant past. And understand the significance of Liberation Day, still observed today, highlighting its impact on Jersey’s identity and heritage.
Duration: Allow over 2.00 hours. Difficulty: Moderate.
Meet at Big Verns car park, Five Mile Road, St Ouen. Bus 22. Please wear sensible footwear, such as trainers, as you’ll be walking over uneven surfaces.

It’s 1865 and Francois Nicolle, her husband, mother and children live at Hamptonne Farm as tenant farmers. It’s a hard life ensuring that they can make payments to the landlord and have enough to live on, especially as Mr Nicolle is not in the best of health with his nerves.
The children have to help on the farm and Francois tries her best to school them and teach them their letters and numbers when they are not busy with harvest or planting. But there is always the animals to take care of.
Francois says “I’m a country girl, having been born in the parish of St Mary, so I’m used to hard work. But with so many children to care for as well, the cooking and cleaning chores are relentless.”
Meet Francois Nicolle every Monday from 10am to 4pm.

The Master Gunner will ensure that your backs are straight, your chins are high, and bellies are tucked-in as you stand to attention for the Midday Parade on the expanse of the Castle’s Parade Ground. Delight in the storytelling of the Gunner, who will enlighten you into the tales and mysteries of bygone times at the Castle, from the reign of Queen Elizabeth I to the Battle of Jersey in 1781. Then finally prepare yourself for the resounding bang of the signal gun and flintlock musket.

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!
Meet Lieutenant Robert Bloodsworth, the Regimental Surgeon’s mate of the 95th Regiment of Foot
Could you pass the medical for an 18th century soldier? Find out about the weapons of the period and the wounds that they could cause, then hear about the treatment for the wounded and sick after the battle. See some of the surgical and medical instruments of the 18th century that were available to the surgeon in his job.
You’ll also meet Sarah Brown, the wife of a soldier garrisoned at Elizabeth Castle, and assistant to the Regimental Surgeon. When not engaged with nursing patients, Sarah will give you an insight into the life of an 18th century army wife.
If meeting the Regimental Surgeon is going to be the highlight of your trip to Elizabeth Castle, please call +44 (0) 1534 634048 before you visit to check that performances are confirmed for that date.
Meet Rose Le Brun, the Bouonnefemme at Hamptonne, who will let you in on local secrets and village gossip
Rose’s predecessor, Old Maud, had been at Hamptonne for years, but she travelled to St Aubin to see family and never returned. Perhaps the plague got her – they had a lot of it down there.
Rose was born in the parish of St Lawrence in 1606 and lived in the Vingtaine du Coin Motier, where Hamptonne House stands, all her life. She serves as housekeeper for Jurat Laurens Hamptonne, who himself witnessed Rose lugging a large poutchie of apples up the hill, and thought her constitution would be fitting to take charge of his household.
Meet the Bouonnefemme at Hamptonne from Tuesday to Friday from 10am to 4pm (except first Friday of the month when the performance will be on a Saturday)
If meeting the Bouonnefemme is going to be the highlight of your trip to Hamptonne Country Life Museum, please call +44 (0) 1534 863 955 before you visit to check that performances are confirmed for that date.
his 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.
I’m please to confirm that the free St Helier town walks will be returning again this year, with a change of day to Tuesdays, starting on 2 April and then every Tuesday until the end of October. As usual they begin and end at the town Hall , starting at 10:30 and lasting around 2 hours.
The walks are free and sponsored by the Parish of St Helier and each week a different JTGA ( Jersey Tourist Guides Association) guide will be covering a different aspect of the town, ranging from it’s from history to people via culture to the outright bizarre!
People can turn up on the day and there MAYBE space but there are restriction on numbers for some walks so it’d be sensible to book via eventbrite HERE or by emailing me at [email protected] or 07797 780868

The world’s largest Celtic hoard was discovered in Jersey, this exhibition explores why people might have buried it there.
In 2012 the world’s largest Celtic hoard was discovered buried in a field in Jersey. This exhibition explores what might have led people to bury a hoard of 70,000 coins and jewellery in Jersey, 2000 years ago and looks closely at some of the items found within the hoard.
Explore the time when Roman armies marched through Europe, 2000 years ago, they left behind them a trail of death and destruction which almost wiped out the culture and civilization of the Celtic people who lived there. Using scientific and archaeological research we can learn more about the people that buried the hoard, about their lives and customs. Ground-breaking research can tell us more about the moment and the place the hoard was buried. It might even challenge some long-held ideas about why hoards were buried.

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.
A service of thanksgiving and re-enactment to mark the 79th anniversary of the Liberation of Jersey will be held in Liberation Square, St Helier.
Limited seats in Liberation Square are available for free on a first come first served basis for those wishing to attend the reenactment ceremony and service of thanksgiving for Liberation Day 2024.

The world’s largest Celtic hoard was discovered in Jersey, this exhibition explores why people might have buried it there.
In 2012 the world’s largest Celtic hoard was discovered buried in a field in Jersey. This exhibition explores what might have led people to bury a hoard of 70,000 coins and jewellery in Jersey, 2000 years ago and looks closely at some of the items found within the hoard.
Explore the time when Roman armies marched through Europe, 2000 years ago, they left behind them a trail of death and destruction which almost wiped out the culture and civilization of the Celtic people who lived there. Using scientific and archaeological research we can learn more about the people that buried the hoard, about their lives and customs. Ground-breaking research can tell us more about the moment and the place the hoard was buried. It might even challenge some long-held ideas about why hoards were buried.
Join Jersey War Tours and visit WW2 bunkers, which are not usually open to the public. JWT will show you how Jersey was made into an impregnable fortress and help you appreciate what the Third Reich was able to create with slave labour.
The tour is also a perfect complement to understanding the history of the D-Day invasion, which took place less than 30 miles away.
As an Island shaped by the sea, with some of the most astonishing tides in the world, Jersey’s landscapes are defined by its unique geography and rich natural history. There is nowhere better to demonstrate this than in the east.
Your expert guide, Roger will reveal the unique geography and rich natural history of this unique section of the Park, situated at the edge of The Royal Bay of Grouville, where the tides has influenced human settlement and activities for centuries.
Learn more about your knowledgeable guide, Roger Noel, here:
Duration: Allow over 2.00 hours. Difficulty: Moderate.

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.

The world’s largest Celtic hoard was discovered in Jersey, this exhibition explores why people might have buried it there.
In 2012 the world’s largest Celtic hoard was discovered buried in a field in Jersey. This exhibition explores what might have led people to bury a hoard of 70,000 coins and jewellery in Jersey, 2000 years ago and looks closely at some of the items found within the hoard.
Explore the time when Roman armies marched through Europe, 2000 years ago, they left behind them a trail of death and destruction which almost wiped out the culture and civilization of the Celtic people who lived there. Using scientific and archaeological research we can learn more about the people that buried the hoard, about their lives and customs. Ground-breaking research can tell us more about the moment and the place the hoard was buried. It might even challenge some long-held ideas about why hoards were buried.
Join Jersey War Tours and visit WW2 bunkers, which are not usually open to the public. JWT will show you how Jersey was made into an impregnable fortress and help you appreciate what the Third Reich was able to create with slave labour.
The tour is also a perfect complement to understanding the history of the D-Day invasion, which took place less than 30 miles away.

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

It’s 1865 and Francois Nicolle, her husband, mother and children live at Hamptonne Farm as tenant farmers. It’s a hard life ensuring that they can make payments to the landlord and have enough to live on, especially as Mr Nicolle is not in the best of health with his nerves.
The children have to help on the farm and Francois tries her best to school them and teach them their letters and numbers when they are not busy with harvest or planting. But there is always the animals to take care of.
Francois says “I’m a country girl, having been born in the parish of St Mary, so I’m used to hard work. But with so many children to care for as well, the cooking and cleaning chores are relentless.”

The world’s largest Celtic hoard was discovered in Jersey, this exhibition explores why people might have buried it there.
In 2012 the world’s largest Celtic hoard was discovered buried in a field in Jersey. This exhibition explores what might have led people to bury a hoard of 70,000 coins and jewellery in Jersey, 2000 years ago and looks closely at some of the items found within the hoard.
Explore the time when Roman armies marched through Europe, 2000 years ago, they left behind them a trail of death and destruction which almost wiped out the culture and civilization of the Celtic people who lived there. Using scientific and archaeological research we can learn more about the people that buried the hoard, about their lives and customs. Ground-breaking research can tell us more about the moment and the place the hoard was buried. It might even challenge some long-held ideas about why hoards were buried.
Every Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday / 10am to 4pm
Discover how Jean cares for and trains his birds of prey, and watch him perform the fascinating skills of falconry, which were important in Tudor life. Learn what a ‘hoodwinked’ or ‘haggard’ bird is, and who is a ‘cadger’ or a ‘boozer’. You’ll find Jean and Sovereign awaiting your presence in the Middle Ward.

Raleigh was also responsible for the preservation of Mont Orgueil Castle from destruction at the time when Elizabeth Castle was being built.
This is your chance to meet Sir Walter in the Lower Ward as he takes you on a tour of the Castle as he recounts his adventures at sea as the most famous explorer of the Elizabethan Age.

Meet Rose Le Brun, the Bouonnefemme at Hamptonne, who will let you in on local secrets and village gossip
Rose’s predecessor, Old Maud, had been at Hamptonne for years, but she travelled to St Aubin to see family and never returned. Perhaps the plague got her – they had a lot of it down there.
Rose was born in the parish of St Lawrence in 1606 and lived in the Vingtaine du Coin Motier, where Hamptonne House stands, all her life. She serves as housekeeper for Jurat Laurens Hamptonne, who himself witnessed Rose lugging a large poutchie of apples up the hill, and thought her constitution would be fitting to take charge of his household.

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.

Embracing Jersey’s distinctive geographical and cultural standing, Moments Musicaux Jersey is directing its attention towards programmes featuring English and French composers this year.
In association with the Jersey Opera House for the inaugural concert, Moments Musicaux Jersey are delighted to welcome the globally acclaimed flautist, Jasna Needles, alongside her chamber music partners Milan Vrsajkov on cello and Frederic Lagarde on piano.
The performance will showcase compositions by Debussy and Haydn, the renowned Austrian composer who resided in London during the 1790s, a period marked by the unfolding of the Napoleonic conflict in Europe.
Programme:
Haydn: Trio D Major Hb XV- XVI 15′ Debussy: L’apres midi d’un faune for flute and piano 11.5′ Debussy: Arabesque No.1 for piano 5′ Debussy: Sonata for cello in D minor 11′ Debussy: Trio for flute, cello and piano in G Major 23
Experience the sublime artistry of singing legend Sir Willard White and pianist Anna Tilbrook as they weave a captivating tapestry of song. From Schubert to Bernstein, with songs from the shows such as Ol Man River and modern classics enjoy a simply stunning evening. Simply unmissable.
The programme opens with music by great composers – a set of dramatic and beautiful Schubert songs with a watery theme – including Die Forelle, Der Wanderer, and Das Fischer Madchen followed by masterpieces by Vaughan Williams and Samuel Barber – Sure on this Shining Night.
The second half opens with a set of songs by Bernstein – best known for West Side Story before the second half takes flight with folksongs O Waly Waly, the spiritual Deep River, some fun Copland songs I Bought Me a Cat before finishing with Jerome Kern’s classic “Ol Man River”.
This remarkable programme is sung by legend Sir Willard White who is a regular at the great opera houses around the world from La Scala to the Metropolitan New York and of course the Royal Opera House. A Grammy award winner for his recording of Porgy and Bess, he has made countless recordings which are the pick of all interpretations and performs with the finest orchestras from the Berlin Philharmonic to the London Symphony Orchestra. In November 2023, he was awarded the Chevalier de la Legion D’honneur – the highest order of the French order of Merit.
“Tremendous performance from Willard White” The Telegraph
“When Willard White returns the temperature soars” Financial Times
“Commandingly sung” New York Times

Meet Rose Le Brun, the Bouonnefemme at Hamptonne, who will let you in on local secrets and village gossip
Rose’s predecessor, Old Maud, had been at Hamptonne for years, but she travelled to St Aubin to see family and never returned. Perhaps the plague got her – they had a lot of it down there.
Rose was born in the parish of St Lawrence in 1606 and lived in the Vingtaine du Coin Motier, where Hamptonne House stands, all her life. She serves as housekeeper for Jurat Laurens Hamptonne, who himself witnessed Rose lugging a large poutchie of apples up the hill, and thought her constitution would be fitting to take charge of his household.

Blending the story of the life of Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore before the occupation with a musical soundscape by Boulanger, Gershwin and Joplin, the evening evokes the spirit of the time and the inner world of Claude Cahun.
Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore holidayed in moved to their ‘happy Island’, Jersey, to slow down from their cosmopolitan Parisian life. Having holidayed here as teenagers both were fond of the Island.
Claude and Marcel were at the heart of the radical thinkers and creatives of their time whilst in Paris. They hosted the likes of Salvador Dali, James Joyce, Nathalie Barney and Jacques Lacan. Reflections explores this early period of Claude and Marcel written and narrated by Flora MacAngus.

Not only did the pair distribute anti-occupation propaganda, but they also harboured contraband and traded rationed goods.
The evening includes an immersive extract of the theatre piece that Music in Action seeks funding for to be performed in 2025 focusing on the war years.

The world’s largest Celtic hoard was discovered in Jersey, this exhibition explores why people might have buried it there.
In 2012 the world’s largest Celtic hoard was discovered buried in a field in Jersey. This exhibition explores what might have led people to bury a hoard of 70,000 coins and jewellery in Jersey, 2000 years ago and looks closely at some of the items found within the hoard.
Explore the time when Roman armies marched through Europe, 2000 years ago, they left behind them a trail of death and destruction which almost wiped out the culture and civilization of the Celtic people who lived there. Using scientific and archaeological research we can learn more about the people that buried the hoard, about their lives and customs. Ground-breaking research can tell us more about the moment and the place the hoard was buried. It might even challenge some long-held ideas about why hoards were buried.

This Tour is of the WW2 German Resistance Nest Mole Verclut, which we call the St Catherine’s Bunker locally. This tour provides a guided walk around the Bunker and Tunnels the occupying German forces built during the Second World War.
At the start of the war, this was a low-priority site for the Germans, but by July 1944, it faced the American lines, which were now 14 miles away on the coast of France; by August 1944, the area was upgraded to include an artillery battery and a 150cm coastal searchlight. This is the only way to visit this site, and all funds raised from this tour are going back into the restoration of this site.

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.

Light a candle for a loved one. Join us for a special evening on Saturday 18 May 2024 as we illuminate St Brelade’s Bay Beach with candles in memory of our loved ones.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join with friends, family, and as a community, to reflect, celebrate, and remember the people we love who are no longer with us.
This special event offers a real moment of reflection and a chance to come together as a community in shared remembrance.
Emily Churchill, Spiritual Care Lead at Jersey Hospice Care said, “It’s a wonderful opportunity to join with friends, family, and as a community, to reflect, celebrate, and remember the people we love who are no longer with us. Events such as this enable people to grieve in an open way and connect with others.”
Candles on the Beach was launched in 2023 with the first event attracting around 300 people.
Scott Douglas, Events Manager for Jersey Hospice Care said, “Last year it was really touching to see so many people coming together for the same reason – to honour a loved one. This year, attendees will have the opportunity to light a candle and place it in a circle on the beach to symbolise hope, love, and the enduring legacy of those we hold dear. It’s a really beautiful and poignant moment.”
The event is open to all, not just those who have benefitted from the services of Jersey Hospice Care. Those wanting to attend are encouraged to book in advance and to make a donation for their candle. The event will start at 19:45, with live music, special readings, and reflective time, before finishing at 22:00.

This Tour is of the WW2 German Resistance Nest Mole Verclut, which we call the St Catherine’s Bunker locally. This tour provides a guided walk around the Bunker and Tunnels the occupying German forces built during the Second World War.
At the start of the war, this was a low-priority site for the Germans, but by July 1944, it faced the American lines, which were now 14 miles away on the coast of France; by August 1944, the area was upgraded to include an artillery battery and a 150cm coastal searchlight. This is the only way to visit this site, and all funds raised from this tour are going back into the restoration of this site.

Light a candle for a loved one. Join us for a special evening on Saturday 18 May 2024 as we illuminate St Brelade’s Bay Beach with candles in memory of our loved ones.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join with friends, family, and as a community, to reflect, celebrate, and remember the people we love who are no longer with us.
This special event offers a real moment of reflection and a chance to come together as a community in shared remembrance.
Emily Churchill, Spiritual Care Lead at Jersey Hospice Care said, “It’s a wonderful opportunity to join with friends, family, and as a community, to reflect, celebrate, and remember the people we love who are no longer with us. Events such as this enable people to grieve in an open way and connect with others.”
Candles on the Beach was launched in 2023 with the first event attracting around 300 people.
Scott Douglas, Events Manager for Jersey Hospice Care said, “Last year it was really touching to see so many people coming together for the same reason – to honour a loved one. This year, attendees will have the opportunity to light a candle and place it in a circle on the beach to symbolise hope, love, and the enduring legacy of those we hold dear. It’s a really beautiful and poignant moment.”
The event is open to all, not just those who have benefitted from the services of Jersey Hospice Care. Those wanting to attend are encouraged to book in advance and to make a donation for their candle. The event will start at 19:45, with live music, special readings, and reflective time, before finishing at 22:00.

Originally farmland, Oaklands is a rambling garden surrounded by beds containing many specimen shrubs and trees. As you walk around you will find Cherries, Exochorda, Azaleas and Rhododendron and further still a beautiful woodland walk with a carpet of bluebells. Oaklands is a plantsman’s garden with a well recognised arboretum. The trees planted by Jurat Bonn include Acers, Drimys, Michelia, Metasequoia and what is reputed to be Jersey’s largest walnut. An informal and natural feel prevails throughout. A further highlight is the well-stocked kitchen garden which keeps the family self-sufficient in fruit and veg. Open by kind permission of owners.
??????????, ??????? ??? ?????????????. At Oaklands there will be disabled parking near the house. From the disabled parking and from the main entrance gate there is wheelchair access to the terrace where cream teas are served, however, this involves going over grass.
It is quite a long walk from the entrance gate but this is where there was a drive previously, so it is quite firm under the grass. The walk from the disabled parking involves walking on the driveway and then on the lawn for the length of the terrace to access the slope up to it.
The walks around the garden are all grassy, the lawn in front of the house and around the vegetable garden is mowed but not the grass in the woodland areas. The toilet is small, it has 2 steps up to the door and no additional handles.
JAYF Open Gardens are a fantastic family outing and a joy for garden lovers everywhere. Thank you to everyone who visited or supported our Open Gardens in 2022, we had a very successful season and it wouldn’t have been possible without all our wonderful volunteers and visitors. Guests tried their luck at tombolas and treated themselves to delicious cream tea, served with genuine Jersey clotted cream, milk and butter kindly donated by Fungi Delecti and Jersey Dairy. Thanks also to Neil and Alli Singleton of Birding Tours who ensured guests got the most out of their visit with their wonderful guided Walk and Talks. JAYF are enormously grateful to Aztec Group for its continued support of the Open Garden scheme.

It’s 1865 and Francois Nicolle, her husband, mother and children live at Hamptonne Farm as tenant farmers. It’s a hard life ensuring that they can make payments to the landlord and have enough to live on, especially as Mr Nicolle is not in the best of health with his nerves.
The children have to help on the farm and Francois tries her best to school them and teach them their letters and numbers when they are not busy with harvest or planting. But there is always the animals to take care of.
Francois says “I’m a country girl, having been born in the parish of St Mary, so I’m used to hard work. But with so many children to care for as well, the cooking and cleaning chores are relentless.”

The world’s largest Celtic hoard was discovered in Jersey, this exhibition explores why people might have buried it there.
In 2012 the world’s largest Celtic hoard was discovered buried in a field in Jersey. This exhibition explores what might have led people to bury a hoard of 70,000 coins and jewellery in Jersey, 2000 years ago and looks closely at some of the items found within the hoard.
Explore the time when Roman armies marched through Europe, 2000 years ago, they left behind them a trail of death and destruction which almost wiped out the culture and civilization of the Celtic people who lived there. Using scientific and archaeological research we can learn more about the people that buried the hoard, about their lives and customs. Ground-breaking research can tell us more about the moment and the place the hoard was buried. It might even challenge some long-held ideas about why hoards were buried.

Meet Rose Le Brun, the Bouonnefemme at Hamptonne, who will let you in on local secrets and village gossip
Rose’s predecessor, Old Maud, had been at Hamptonne for years, but she travelled to St Aubin to see family and never returned. Perhaps the plague got her – they had a lot of it down there.
Rose was born in the parish of St Lawrence in 1606 and lived in the Vingtaine du Coin Motier, where Hamptonne House stands, all her life. She serves as housekeeper for Jurat Laurens Hamptonne, who himself witnessed Rose lugging a large poutchie of apples up the hill, and thought her constitution would be fitting to take charge of his household.
Meet the Bouonnefemme at Hamptonne from Tuesday to Friday from 10am to 4pm (except first Friday of the month when the performance will be on a Saturday)

his 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.

The world’s largest Celtic hoard was discovered in Jersey, this exhibition explores why people might have buried it there.
In 2012 the world’s largest Celtic hoard was discovered buried in a field in Jersey. This exhibition explores what might have led people to bury a hoard of 70,000 coins and jewellery in Jersey, 2000 years ago and looks closely at some of the items found within the hoard.
Explore the time when Roman armies marched through Europe, 2000 years ago, they left behind them a trail of death and destruction which almost wiped out the culture and civilization of the Celtic people who lived there. Using scientific and archaeological research we can learn more about the people that buried the hoard, about their lives and customs. Ground-breaking research can tell us more about the moment and the place the hoard was buried. It might even challenge some long-held ideas about why hoards were buried.
Meet Lieutenant Robert Bloodsworth, the Regimental Surgeon’s mate of the 95th Regiment of Foot
Could you pass the medical for an 18th century soldier?

See some of the surgical and medical instruments of the 18th century that were available to the surgeon in his job.
You’ll also meet Sarah Brown, the wife of a soldier garrisoned at Elizabeth Castle, and assistant to the Regimental Surgeon. When not engaged with nursing patients, Sarah will give you an insight into the life of an 18th century army wife.

Meet Rose Le Brun, the Bouonnefemme at Hamptonne, who will let you in on local secrets and village gossip
Rose’s predecessor, Old Maud, had been at Hamptonne for years, but she travelled to St Aubin to see family and never returned. Perhaps the plague got her – they had a lot of it down there.
Rose was born in the parish of St Lawrence in 1606 and lived in the Vingtaine du Coin Motier, where Hamptonne House stands, all her life. She serves as housekeeper for Jurat Laurens Hamptonne, who himself witnessed Rose lugging a large poutchie of apples up the hill, and thought her constitution would be fitting to take charge of his household.
Meet the Bouonnefemme at Hamptonne from Tuesday to Friday from 10am to 4pm (except first Friday of the month when the performance will be on a Saturday)

The Master Gunner will ensure that your backs are straight, your chins are high, and bellies are tucked-in as you stand to attention for the Midday Parade on the expanse of the Castle’s Parade Ground. Delight in the storytelling of the Gunner, who will enlighten you into the tales and mysteries of bygone times at the Castle, from the reign of Queen Elizabeth I to the Battle of Jersey in 1781. Then finally prepare yourself for the resounding bang of the signal gun and flintlock musket.

his 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.

13th Parish Film Festival returns for another great year – and calls for support for the Arts in Jersey
26th March 2024 – Jersey’s International Film Festival Charity, the 13th Parish Festival, returns to the Jersey Arts Centre 23rd – 26th May 2024, bringing islanders the best of independent cinema, amongst other experiences, events and creative fun for all the family and die-hard independent film fans alike!
Last year was hailed as their most successful festival yet, including: an outdoor walking cinema around St. Helier ‘A Wall is a Screen’ brought over from Germany, a free 5 day ‘Kino’ filmmaking course from French film experts Off Courts, two beautifully curated movie mornings for children and families, virtual reality experiences, where you could experience climbing Mount Everest, and an incredible Jersey Showcase of films from local filmmakers. Organisers are hoping that the local community and businesses will get behind another exciting festival this year.The 13th Parish Film Festival began five years ago, initiated by experienced cinephiles keen to bring a dynamic and creative event to Jersey. The festival celebrates the best new independent films from around the world, including award-winning and acclaimed films from Venice and Sundance film festivals. The festival also gives local filmmakers a chance to make and showcase their own films, with workshops and collaborative experiences to encourage creativity and filming across the Channel Islands, plus the chance to see their films on the big screen.
With so much to include in this year’s festival, 13th Parish also hope that some long term partnerships can be made with local organisations and businesses, in a year where charities have seen funding diminish.
Director of 13th Parish Festival Tony Langlois said: ‘For the size of the island, we are proud to have created a festival with such global reach and interest and an immense amount of hard work goes into the festival. As a charity, we are also happy to work with sponsors and partners whose CSR goals share our passion for keeping the arts alive and thriving on the island, giving the community experiences and films they may never be able to get otherwise. The Channel Islands have huge potential for film and for being a creative hub. Being part of an incredible international film circuit is something we can’t loose.”

13th Parish Film Festival returns for another great year – and calls for support for the Arts in Jersey
26th March 2024 – Jersey’s International Film Festival Charity, the 13th Parish Festival, returns to the Jersey Arts Centre 23rd – 26th May 2024, bringing islanders the best of independent cinema, amongst other experiences, events and creative fun for all the family and die-hard independent film fans alike!
Last year was hailed as their most successful festival yet, including: an outdoor walking cinema around St. Helier ‘A Wall is a Screen’ brought over from Germany, a free 5 day ‘Kino’ filmmaking course from French film experts Off Courts, two beautifully curated movie mornings for children and families, virtual reality experiences, where you could experience climbing Mount Everest, and an incredible Jersey Showcase of films from local filmmakers. Organisers are hoping that the local community and businesses will get behind another exciting festival this year.The 13th Parish Film Festival began five years ago, initiated by experienced cinephiles keen to bring a dynamic and creative event to Jersey. The festival celebrates the best new independent films from around the world, including award-winning and acclaimed films from Venice and Sundance film festivals. The festival also gives local filmmakers a chance to make and showcase their own films, with workshops and collaborative experiences to encourage creativity and filming across the Channel Islands, plus the chance to see their films on the big screen.
With so much to include in this year’s festival, 13th Parish also hope that some long term partnerships can be made with local organisations and businesses, in a year where charities have seen funding diminish.
Director of 13th Parish Festival Tony Langlois said: ‘For the size of the island, we are proud to have created a festival with such global reach and interest and an immense amount of hard work goes into the festival. As a charity, we are also happy to work with sponsors and partners whose CSR goals share our passion for keeping the arts alive and thriving on the island, giving the community experiences and films they may never be able to get otherwise. The Channel Islands have huge potential for film and for being a creative hub. Being part of an incredible international film circuit is something we can’t loose.”
The world’s largest Celtic hoard was discovered in Jersey, this exhibition explores why people might have buried it there.
In 2012 the world’s largest Celtic hoard was discovered buried in a field in Jersey. This exhibition explores what might have led people to bury a hoard of 70,000 coins and jewellery in Jersey, 2000 years ago and looks closely at some of the items found within the hoard.
Explore the time when Roman armies marched through Europe, 2000 years ago, they left behind them a trail of death and destruction which almost wiped out the culture and civilization of the Celtic people who lived there. Using scientific and archaeological research we can learn more about the people that buried the hoard, about their lives and customs. Ground-breaking research can tell us more about the moment and the place the hoard was buried. It might even challenge some long-held ideas about why hoards were buried.
Find out about the Gothic folly that is the magnificent Princes’ Tower

Meet Rose Le Brun, the Bouonnefemme at Hamptonne, who will let you in on local secrets and village gossip
Rose’s predecessor, Old Maud, had been at Hamptonne for years, but she travelled to St Aubin to see family and never returned. Perhaps the plague got her – they had a lot of it down there.
Rose was born in the parish of St Lawrence in 1606 and lived in the Vingtaine du Coin Motier, where Hamptonne House stands, all her life. She serves as housekeeper for Jurat Laurens Hamptonne, who himself witnessed Rose lugging a large poutchie of apples up the hill, and thought her constitution would be fitting to take charge of his household.
Meet the Bouonnefemme at Hamptonne from Tuesday to Friday from 10am to 4pm (except first Friday of the month when the performance will be on a Saturday)
If meeting the Bouonnefemme is going to be the highlight of your trip to Hamptonne Country Life Museum, please call +44 (0) 1534 863 955 before you visit to check that performances are confirmed for that date.

Delight in the storytelling of the Gunner, who will enlighten you into the tales and mysteries of bygone times at the Castle, from the reign of Queen Elizabeth I to the Battle of Jersey in 1781. Then finally prepare yourself for the resounding bang of the signal gun and flintlock musket.

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 regular artisans’ market takes place in the pretty harbour village of St. Aubin in front of the parish hall.
There will be local wares on display, including goods from producers and craft workers.
All goods sold by Genuine Jersey Members will have been crafted, brewed, baked or processed by the stall holder, so come along and soak up the atmosphere while celebrating Jersey’s finest.

This is the only way to visit this site, and all funds raised from this tour are going back into the restoration of this site.

As a charity, we are also happy to work with sponsors and partners whose CSR goals share our passion for keeping the arts alive and thriving on the island, giving the community experiences and films they may never be able to get otherwise. The Channel Islands have huge potential for film and for being a creative hub. Being part of an incredible international film circuit is something we can’t loose.”
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 regular artisans’ market takes place in the pretty harbour village of St. Aubin in front of the parish hall.
There will be local wares on display, including goods from producers and craft workers.
All goods sold by Genuine Jersey Members will have been crafted, brewed, baked or processed by the stall holder, so come along and soak up the atmosphere while celebrating Jersey’s finest.
This Tour is of the WW2 German Resistance Nest Mole Verclut, which we call the St Catherine’s Bunker locally. This tour provides a guided walk around the Bunker and Tunnels the occupying German forces built during the Second World War.
At the start of the war, this was a low-priority site for the Germans, but by July 1944, it faced the American lines, which were now 14 miles away on the coast of France; by August 1944, the area was upgraded to include an artillery battery and a 150cm coastal searchlight. This is the only way to visit this site, and all funds raised from this tour are going back into the restoration of this site.

The world’s largest Celtic hoard was discovered in Jersey, this exhibition explores why people might have buried it there.
In 2012 the world’s largest Celtic hoard was discovered buried in a field in Jersey. This exhibition explores what might have led people to bury a hoard of 70,000 coins and jewellery in Jersey, 2000 years ago and looks closely at some of the items found within the hoard.
Explore the time when Roman armies marched through Europe, 2000 years ago, they left behind them a trail of death and destruction which almost wiped out the culture and civilization of the Celtic people who lived there. Using scientific and archaeological research we can learn more about the people that buried the hoard, about their lives and customs. Ground-breaking research can tell us more about the moment and the place the hoard was buried. It might even challenge some long-held ideas about why hoards were buried.
It’s 1865 and Francois Nicolle, her husband, mother and children live at Hamptonne Farm as tenant farmers. It’s a hard life ensuring that they can make payments to the landlord and have enough to live on, especially as Mr Nicolle is not in the best of health with his nerves.
The children have to help on the farm and Francois tries her best to school them and teach them their letters and numbers when they are not busy with harvest or planting. But there is always the animals to take care of.
Francois says “I’m a country girl, having been born in the parish of St Mary, so I’m used to hard work. But with so many children to care for as well, the cooking and cleaning chores are relentless.”
Meet Francois Nicolle every Monday from 10am to 4pm.
If meeting Francois Nicolle is going to be the highlight of your trip to Hamptonne Country Life Museum, please call +44 (0) 1534 863 955 before you visit to check that performances are confirmed for that date.
Meet the ‘Merry Monarch’ for a tour of his Castle and he’ll tell you some fascinating stories of his time in Jersey
It is September 1649, amidst the tumultuous events of the English Civil War, having been exiled from his ‘dear England’, King Charles II, and his younger brother, The Duke of York, have sought refuge in Jersey. Meet the ‘Merry Monarch’ at the Third Gate and he’ll take you on a tour of his Castle and he’ll tell you some fascinating stories of his time in Jersey.
Meet King Charles II every Monday and Thursday from 10am to 4pm at Elizabeth Castle.

Stand to attention for the Midday Parade and prepare yourself for the resounding bang of the signal gun
The Master Gunner will ensure that your backs are straight, your chins are high, and bellies are tucked-in as you stand to attention for the Midday Parade on the expanse of the Castle’s Parade Ground. Delight in the storytelling of the Gunner, who will enlighten you into the tales and mysteries of bygone times at the Castle, from the reign of Queen Elizabeth I to the Battle of Jersey in 1781. Then finally prepare yourself for the resounding bang of the signal gun and flintlock musket.
Meet the Master Gunner or Cadet Gunner at Elizabeth Castle on the following days:
Tuesday to Saturday from 10am to 4pm with some performances on Monday and Sunday.
If the Master Gunner is going to be the highlight of your trip to Elizabeth Castle, please call +44 (0) 1534 634048 before you visit to check that performances 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.

Meet Lieutenant Robert Bloodsworth, the Regimental Surgeon’s mate of the 95th Regiment of Foot
Could you pass the medical for an 18th century soldier? Find out about the weapons of the period and the wounds that they could cause, then hear about the treatment for the wounded and sick after the battle. See some of the surgical and medical instruments of the 18th century that were available to the surgeon in his job.
You’ll also meet Sarah Brown, the wife of a soldier garrisoned at Elizabeth Castle, and assistant to the Regimental Surgeon. When not engaged with nursing patients, Sarah will give you an insight into the life of an 18th century army wife.
If meeting the Regimental Surgeon is going to be the highlight of your trip to Elizabeth Castle, please call +44 (0) 1534 634048 before you visit to check that performances are confirmed for that date.
Meet Rose Le Brun, the Bouonnefemme at Hamptonne, who will let you in on local secrets and village gossip
Rose’s predecessor, Old Maud, had been at Hamptonne for years, but she travelled to St Aubin to see family and never returned. Perhaps the plague got her – they had a lot of it down there.
Rose was born in the parish of St Lawrence in 1606 and lived in the Vingtaine du Coin Motier, where Hamptonne House stands, all her life. She serves as housekeeper for Jurat Laurens Hamptonne, who himself witnessed Rose lugging a large poutchie of apples up the hill, and thought her constitution would be fitting to take charge of his household.
Meet the Bouonnefemme at Hamptonne from Tuesday to Friday from 10am to 4pm (except first Friday of the month when the performance will be on a Saturday)
If meeting the Bouonnefemme is going to be the highlight of your trip to Hamptonne Country Life Museum, please call +44 (0) 1534 863 955 before you visit to check that performances are confirmed for that date.
his 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.
I’m please to confirm that the free St Helier town walks will be returning again this year, with a change of day to Tuesdays, starting on 2 April and then every Tuesday until the end of October. As usual they begin and end at the town Hall , starting at 10:30 and lasting around 2 hours.
The walks are free and sponsored by the Parish of St Helier and each week a different JTGA ( Jersey Tourist Guides Association) guide will be covering a different aspect of the town, ranging from it’s from history to people via culture to the outright bizarre!
People can turn up on the day and there MAYBE space but there are restriction on numbers for some walks so it’d be sensible to book via eventbrite HERE or by emailing me at [email protected] or 07797 780868

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!
Meet Lieutenant Robert Bloodsworth, the Regimental Surgeon’s mate of the 95th Regiment of Foot
Could you pass the medical for an 18th century soldier? Find out about the weapons of the period and the wounds that they could cause, then hear about the treatment for the wounded and sick after the battle. See some of the surgical and medical instruments of the 18th century that were available to the surgeon in his job.
You’ll also meet Sarah Brown, the wife of a soldier garrisoned at Elizabeth Castle, and assistant to the Regimental Surgeon. When not engaged with nursing patients, Sarah will give you an insight into the life of an 18th century army wife.
If meeting the Regimental Surgeon is going to be the highlight of your trip to Elizabeth Castle, please call +44 (0) 1534 634048 before you visit to check that performances are confirmed for that date.
Meet Rose Le Brun, the Bouonnefemme at Hamptonne, who will let you in on local secrets and village gossip
Rose’s predecessor, Old Maud, had been at Hamptonne for years, but she travelled to St Aubin to see family and never returned. Perhaps the plague got her – they had a lot of it down there.
Rose was born in the parish of St Lawrence in 1606 and lived in the Vingtaine du Coin Motier, where Hamptonne House stands, all her life. She serves as housekeeper for Jurat Laurens Hamptonne, who himself witnessed Rose lugging a large poutchie of apples up the hill, and thought her constitution would be fitting to take charge of his household.
Meet the Bouonnefemme at Hamptonne from Tuesday to Friday from 10am to 4pm (except first Friday of the month when the performance will be on a Saturday)
If meeting the Bouonnefemme is going to be the highlight of your trip to Hamptonne Country Life Museum, please call +44 (0) 1534 863 955 before you visit to check that performances are confirmed for that date.
his 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.
I’m please to confirm that the free St Helier town walks will be returning again this year, with a change of day to Tuesdays, starting on 2 April and then every Tuesday until the end of October. As usual they begin and end at the town Hall , starting at 10:30 and lasting around 2 hours.
The walks are free and sponsored by the Parish of St Helier and each week a different JTGA ( Jersey Tourist Guides Association) guide will be covering a different aspect of the town, ranging from it’s from history to people via culture to the outright bizarre!
People can turn up on the day and there MAYBE space but there are restriction on numbers for some walks so it’d be sensible to book via eventbrite HERE or by emailing me at [email protected] or 07797 780868

Help us manage a non-native and invasive plant species. Kindly sponsored by Jersey Electricity.
We will be holding a session, removing the Purple Dew plant from the coastal strips of St. Ouens Bay.
The Purple Dew Plant is an alien invader! It is a non-native plant species that has found its way onto the coastal strips of St. Ouens bay. Due to the plant thriving in sandy environments, if not managed correctly, the plant would otherwise blanket the grass and sandy areas of the bay, suffocating the growth of Jersey’s rich and diverse native species that would normally thrive in this area. Purple Dew plant will also prevent some insects, such as solitary bees, from accessing their nesting sites.
So we really need your help to remove this ailen species from our coastline!
No tools are necessary and we will be hand-pulling the plant from the sandy ground, but please do bring your own gloves if possible.

The world’s largest Celtic hoard was discovered in Jersey, this exhibition explores why people might have buried it there.
In 2012 the world’s largest Celtic hoard was discovered buried in a field in Jersey. This exhibition explores what might have led people to bury a hoard of 70,000 coins and jewellery in Jersey, 2000 years ago and looks closely at some of the items found within the hoard.
Explore the time when Roman armies marched through Europe, 2000 years ago, they left behind them a trail of death and destruction which almost wiped out the culture and civilization of the Celtic people who lived there. Using scientific and archaeological research we can learn more about the people that buried the hoard, about their lives and customs. Ground-breaking research can tell us more about the moment and the place the hoard was buried. It might even challenge some long-held ideas about why hoards were buried.
Every Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday / 10am to 4pm

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.

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.
