Saturday 10th October
Inspired by the exceptional properties of the light in Jersey, which have made it home to artists over the centuries, this exhibition is a rare chance to view works from the Jersey Heritage collection that see the light in different ways.
This new FREE exhibition examines how Jersey artists have treated light as a subject in their work. The clarity of light in Jersey – the sunniest place in the British Isles – has long been recognised by visiting and local artists as a unique and attractive feature of the Island. The exhibition examines artists’ responses to Jersey’s natural light through the lens of light as a subject, as a contemplation and as a tool to market a vision of Jersey. Visitors will have the opportunity to see artworks from the Jersey Heritage collection that have not been on display for a number of years.
The surprising story of how Hamptonne and other Jersey farms almost collapsed during the Occupation, and how they thrived following Liberation in May 1945
This short exhibition tells the Occupation story of Hamptonne and examines how farming recovered after Liberation. As Jersey’s major industry before and after the Second World War, it was seen as vital that farming should prosper following the Occupation. By May 1945, Islanders were concerned that the unique Jersey breed of cattle was under threat due to looting and food shortages, and many felt the decimated farms would never get back to pre-war production. They could not have been more wrong. Learn the surprising story of how farms survived the Occupation and thrived following Liberation.
To mark the 80th anniversary of Liberation, immerse yourself in this captivating ten-minute projected film, ‘A Day to Remember’. As the magnificent events unfold, we hear from Islanders who witnessed them, as well as evacuees in England and deportees in Germany.
Drawing upon archive film and an immense library of stills, we experience the anticipation of freedom, the final surrender on 9 May 1945 and the arrival of Force 135, set to clear away the aftermath of war and make the Island safe again.
Released from captivity, Islanders explore their homeland afresh and begin the journey of recovery. Civilians and servicemen return with news of those who would never come home. Finally, we hear of the gratitude felt by descendants of Occupation veterans for the freedom that was gained all those years ago and the life that it has given them.
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 Link Gallery is a small gallery at Jersey Museum where every month a local artist displays their work. Each month the exhibition changes, creating a year of local artwork covering a wide-range of topics, medias and artistic styles. We also invite local artistic groups, schools or arts organisations to use the Link Gallery.
The Link Gallery is on the ground floor of Jersey Museum and is free to access.
Get ready for an exciting day filled with hands-on experiences, live demonstrations and the chance to try a wide range of sports and fitness activities—all in a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment.
James Hadley-Piggin from All Matters Neurodiverse is organising a sporting event on Sunday 1st February 2026 at Trinity showground (TSG) to encourage neurodiverse individuals to get into sports. James is neurodiverse and sport helped transform him from an under confident teenager with low self-esteem to an individual who has run an ultra-marathon and numerous other sporting feats over the last few years to his most recent challenge – running seven marathons in seven days across multiple locations in support for the All Matters Neurodiverse Charity raising over £6,500.
The idea is to have a range of sports clubs, gyms and wellbeing organisations from across the Island distributed around the rooms in TSG between 10:00 – 14:00 promoting their sport and providing some sort of activation activity where people can get an insight into how to participate in a variety of sports, fitness activities and wellbeing in an inclusive, neurodivergent way’.
The event is open to anyone so bring your friends, families, colleagues to help make this event as inclusive as possible.
Every Sunday morning one of our qualified guides will take you on a journey through the fascinating history and culture of Jersey.
With their unique insights, our guide will take you on a journey beginning at the end of the last ice-age, some 6,000 years ago when Jersey became an Island. You will learn about the people, see some of the iconic sites of St Helier and hear about the events that have helped shape Jersey’s history, making it the modern, bustling and multicultural island it is today.

Mont Orgueil’s ancient links with the Crown make it the perfect site to explore the history of the charters granted to the Island from Edward III onwards
Our ‘Jersey Royal Charters’ banner exhibition is in residence in the Undercroft at Mont Orgueil.
Many of the Royal Charters before Elizabeth I’s reign mention the Castle with its military and strategic importance to the English monarch.
Elizabeth I, of course, favoured the new castle named for her in St Aubin’s Bay (Elizabeth Castle). Following her reign, mention of Mont Orgueil ceased, although the charters continued to reinforce Jersey’s special relationship with the Crown.
This special exhibition examines the many challenges and opportunities Jersey faced following its release from five long years of German Occupation
This exhibition examines the many challenges Jersey faced following its release from five long years of German Occupation. After the celebrations are over, how do you manage the transition from military rule to civilian administration? How do you unite a population divided by loss, separation, and suspicions of collaboration? And how do you return the Island to prosperity after five years of economic isolation and mounting war debts?
The exhibition explores the years following Liberation, both the challenges, joys and opportunities, and traces the Island’s long road to recovery. It also considers how we have remembered Liberation as the years have passed and asks what we can learn from this experience.
The Link Gallery is a small gallery at Jersey Museum where every month a local artist displays their work.

Jersey is a special Island. It is tiny – a small dot on the world map. But its size belies the breadth of its unique and varied heritage. This NEW free exhibition explores what makes us Jersey.
The Island has been a home, a haven, a paradise, a battleground, a prison. It has been a place of dreams and disasters, of connection and isolation, of vulnerability and strength, of unique creatures and ancient landscapes, of pioneers and tradition.
Over the course of hundreds of thousands of years, four million people have been part of its history.
This exhibition celebrates some of our Island’s most significant moments and discovers how living here has affected the lives of just a few of those four million. Using our most special objects as witnesses to our past, it explores how we have come to be an Island and Islanders.
Prehistoric mammoth skulls and dwarf red deer bones tell the story of becoming an island; gold torques and ancient coin hoards explore the theme of Jersey as a sacred island; royal charters describe the Island as separate and different. During the Battle of Jersey and the Occupation, the Island was a place of conflict. At other times, Jersey was a place of refuge. Islands are also a little bit exotic and Jersey has attracted artists, honeymooners and holidaymakers. In this new exhibition, discover stories of our Island and explore what it means to be Jersey.
The Link Gallery is a small gallery at Jersey Museum where every month a local artist displays their work. Each month the exhibition changes, creating a year of local artwork covering a wide-range of topics, medias and artistic styles.

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.

As Jersey’s major industry before and after the Second World War, it was seen as vital that farming should prosper following the Occupation. By May 1945, Islanders were concerned that the unique Jersey breed of cattle was under threat due to looting and food shortages, and many felt the decimated farms would never get back to pre-war production.

To mark the 80th anniversary of Liberation, immerse yourself in this captivating ten-minute projected film, ‘A Day to Remember’. As the magnificent events unfold, we hear from Islanders who witnessed them, as well as evacuees in England and deportees in Germany.
Drawing upon archive film and an immense library of stills, we experience the anticipation of freedom, the final surrender on 9 May 1945 and the arrival of Force 135, set to clear away the aftermath of war and make the Island safe again.
Released from captivity, Islanders explore their homeland afresh and begin the journey of recovery. Civilians and servicemen return with news of those who would never come home. Finally, we hear of the gratitude felt by descendants of Occupation veterans for the freedom that was gained all those years ago and the life that it has given them.

Mont Orgueil’s ancient links with the Crown make it the perfect site to explore the history of the charters granted to the Island from Edward III onwards
Our ‘Jersey Royal Charters’ banner exhibition is in residence in the Undercroft at Mont Orgueil.
Many of the Royal Charters before Elizabeth I’s reign mention the Castle with its military and strategic importance to the English monarch.
Elizabeth I, of course, favoured the new castle named for her in St Aubin’s Bay (Elizabeth Castle). Following her reign, mention of Mont Orgueil ceased, although the charters continued to reinforce Jersey’s special relationship with the Crown.
This special exhibition examines the many challenges and opportunities Jersey faced following its release from five long years of German Occupation
This exhibition examines the many challenges Jersey faced following its release from five long years of German Occupation. After the celebrations are over, how do you manage the transition from military rule to civilian administration? How do you unite a population divided by loss, separation, and suspicions of collaboration? And how do you return the Island to prosperity after five years of economic isolation and mounting war debts?
The exhibition explores the years following Liberation, both the challenges, joys and opportunities, and traces the Island’s long road to recovery. It also considers how we have remembered Liberation as the years have passed and asks what we can learn from this experience.
The Link Gallery is a small gallery at Jersey Museum where every month a local artist displays their work. Each month the exhibition changes, creating a year of local artwork covering a wide-range of topics, medias and artistic styles. We also invite local artistic groups, schools or arts organisations to use the Link Gallery.
The Link Gallery is on the ground floor of Jersey Museum and is free to access.
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.

Jersey is a special Island. It is tiny – a small dot on the world map. But its size belies the breadth of its unique and varied heritage. This NEW free exhibition explores what makes us Jersey.
The Island has been a home, a haven, a paradise, a battleground, a prison. It has been a place of dreams and disasters, of connection and isolation, of vulnerability and strength, of unique creatures and ancient landscapes, of pioneers and tradition.
Over the course of hundreds of thousands of years, four million people have been part of its history.
This exhibition celebrates some of our Island’s most significant moments and discovers how living here has affected the lives of just a few of those four million. Using our most special objects as witnesses to our past, it explores how we have come to be an Island and Islanders.
Prehistoric mammoth skulls and dwarf red deer bones tell the story of becoming an island; gold torques and ancient coin hoards explore the theme of Jersey as a sacred island; royal charters describe the Island as separate and different. During the Battle of Jersey and the Occupation, the Island was a place of conflict. At other times, Jersey was a place of refuge. Islands are also a little bit exotic and Jersey has attracted artists, honeymooners and holidaymakers. In this new exhibition, discover stories of our Island and explore what it means to be Jersey.

Ballet d’Jèrri presents an evening of choreographic premieres with live music
Ballet d’Jèrri invites you to an evening of world premieres, framed with music at its pulse and reimagined through the eyes of today’s choreographic voices.
Curated by pianist Anika Vavić and performed live (in duet with distinguished violinist Rémy Ballot), the musical thread underpins seven new works by choreographers already carving their names into the international dance world, including some Jersey-based perspectives: Stanley Young, Hannah Joseph, Daniel Davidson, Noemi Andreotti Coin, Tabi Dombroski, duo Anna Daly and Donovan Délis-McCarthy.
Each choreographer brings a unique gesture to the dialogue between movement and score, tasked with testing the boundaries of what contemporary ballet can become while honouring its heritage.
Musical Notes
·Anika Vavić (Viennese pianist, born in Belgrade) is known for her sensitive, probing interpretations of the classical canon — unveiling hidden tensions and setting private dialogues with her collaborators.
·Rémy Ballot, a French violinist and conductor based in Vienna, studied under Gérard Poulet and was a pupil of Sergiu Celibidache. He remains active as both soloist and conductor, particularly acclaimed for his interpretations of Bruckner.
Together, their musical partnership underscores the evening — not simply as accompaniment, but as a living, responsive force shaping or counterbalancing each dance’s architecture.
This is more than contemporary dance to classical music. It’s a conversation: a chance to hear emerging choreographers respond to great scores, and to feel the tension between tradition and invention. For audiences, it’s a rare opportunity — one evening, many voices, all in touch with classical roots and the impulse to break new ground.
Well thank you for being interested in my show. Inkling (WIP) is a work in progress of what will become my third hour long show… Uh oh!
I’ve been thinking of some stuff for a bit and it might be coming out here… Uh oh!
This might be a show about where I get my ideas and what it all might mean… Uh oh!!!
It’s got stories and silent bits and loud bits and gossip bits and I think it’s my stupidest smartest one yet. I’d love for you to be there to help me figure things out. If you’d like that, do come along! I am deeply excited about this show… I think.

Inspired by the exceptional properties of the light in Jersey, which have made it home to artists over the centuries, this exhibition is a rare chance to view works from the Jersey Heritage collection that see the light in different ways.
This new FREE exhibition examines how Jersey artists have treated light as a subject in their work. The clarity of light in Jersey – the sunniest place in the British Isles – has long been recognised by visiting and local artists as a unique and attractive feature of the Island. The exhibition examines artists’ responses to Jersey’s natural light through the lens of light as a subject, as a contemplation and as a tool to market a vision of Jersey. Visitors will have the opportunity to see artworks from the Jersey Heritage collection that have not been on display for a number of years.
The surprising story of how Hamptonne and other Jersey farms almost collapsed during the Occupation, and how they thrived following Liberation in May 1945
This short exhibition tells the Occupation story of Hamptonne and examines how farming recovered after Liberation. As Jersey’s major industry before and after the Second World War, it was seen as vital that farming should prosper following the Occupation. By May 1945, Islanders were concerned that the unique Jersey breed of cattle was under threat due to looting and food shortages, and many felt the decimated farms would never get back to pre-war production. They could not have been more wrong. Learn the surprising story of how farms survived the Occupation and thrived following Liberation.
To mark the 80th anniversary of Liberation, immerse yourself in this captivating ten-minute projected film, ‘A Day to Remember’. As the magnificent events unfold, we hear from Islanders who witnessed them, as well as evacuees in England and deportees in Germany.
Drawing upon archive film and an immense library of stills, we experience the anticipation of freedom, the final surrender on 9 May 1945 and the arrival of Force 135, set to clear away the aftermath of war and make the Island safe again.
Released from captivity, Islanders explore their homeland afresh and begin the journey of recovery. Civilians and servicemen return with news of those who would never come home. Finally, we hear of the gratitude felt by descendants of Occupation veterans for the freedom that was gained all those years ago and the life that it has given them.
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 Link Gallery is a small gallery at Jersey Museum where every month a local artist displays their work. Each month the exhibition changes, creating a year of local artwork covering a wide-range of topics, medias and artistic styles. We also invite local artistic groups, schools or arts organisations to use the Link Gallery.

This exhibition celebrates some of our Island’s most significant moments and discovers how living here has affected the lives of just a few of those four million. Using our most special objects as witnesses to our past, it explores how we have come to be an Island and Islanders.
Prehistoric mammoth skulls and dwarf red deer bones tell the story of becoming an island; gold torques and ancient coin hoards explore the theme of Jersey as a sacred island; royal charters describe the Island as separate and different. During the Battle of Jersey and the Occupation, the Island was a place of conflict. At other times, Jersey was a place of refuge. Islands are also a little bit exotic and Jersey has attracted artists, honeymooners and holidaymakers. In this new exhibition, discover stories of our Island and explore what it means to be Jersey.
The Link Gallery is a small gallery at Jersey Museum where every month a local artist displays their work. Each month the exhibition changes, creating a year of local artwork covering a wide-range of topics, medias and artistic styles. We also invite local artistic groups, schools or arts organisations to use the Link Gallery.
The Link Gallery is on the ground floor of Jersey Museum and is free to access.

Jersey is a special Island. It is tiny – a small dot on the world map. But its size belies the breadth of its unique and varied heritage. This NEW free exhibition explores what makes us Jersey.

Inspired by the exceptional properties of the light in Jersey, which have made it home to artists over the centuries, this exhibition is a rare chance to view works from the Jersey Heritage collection that see the light in different ways.
This new FREE exhibition examines how Jersey artists have treated light as a subject in their work. The clarity of light in Jersey – the sunniest place in the British Isles – has long been recognised by visiting and local artists as a unique and attractive feature of the Island. The exhibition examines artists’ responses to Jersey’s natural light through the lens of light as a subject, as a contemplation and as a tool to market a vision of Jersey. Visitors will have the opportunity to see artworks from the Jersey Heritage collection that have not been on display for a number of years.
The surprising story of how Hamptonne and other Jersey farms almost collapsed during the Occupation, and how they thrived following Liberation in May 1945
This short exhibition tells the Occupation story of Hamptonne and examines how farming recovered after Liberation. As Jersey’s major industry before and after the Second World War, it was seen as vital that farming should prosper following the Occupation. By May 1945, Islanders were concerned that the unique Jersey breed of cattle was under threat due to looting and food shortages, and many felt the decimated farms would never get back to pre-war production. They could not have been more wrong. Learn the surprising story of how farms survived the Occupation and thrived following Liberation.
To mark the 80th anniversary of Liberation, immerse yourself in this captivating ten-minute projected film, ‘A Day to Remember’. As the magnificent events unfold, we hear from Islanders who witnessed them, as well as evacuees in England and deportees in Germany.
Drawing upon archive film and an immense library of stills, we experience the anticipation of freedom, the final surrender on 9 May 1945 and the arrival of Force 135, set to clear away the aftermath of war and make the Island safe again.
Released from captivity, Islanders explore their homeland afresh and begin the journey of recovery. Civilians and servicemen return with news of those who would never come home. Finally, we hear of the gratitude felt by descendants of Occupation veterans for the freedom that was gained all those years ago and the life that it has given them.
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 Link Gallery is a small gallery at Jersey Museum where every month a local artist displays their work. Each month the exhibition changes, creating a year of local artwork covering a wide-range of topics, medias and artistic styles. We also invite local artistic groups, schools or arts organisations to use the Link Gallery.

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.

When blind date newbie Aaron is set up with serial-dater Casey, a casual drink at a New York restaurant turns into a hilarious high-stakes dinner. As the date unfolds in real time, the couple quickly finds that they are not alone on this unpredictable evening. In an unexpected twist, Casey and Aaron’s inner critics take on a life of their own when other restaurant patrons transform into supportive best friends, manipulative exes and protective parents. Can this couple turn what could be a dating disaster into something special before dessert?
From the creative team behind JGRTC’s recent productions of Shrek, Chicago and Ghost, this laugh-out-loud comedy musical sees a cast of just seven seasoned performers, accompanied by an amazing band of musicians, bring over 30 outrageous characters to life in the perfect antidote to Valentine’s week: come for Date Night with your sweetheart (if you dare), or ditch the other half and come with your mates – either way, you’ll leave laughing!

Celebrate 100 years of surfing in Jersey, from the first beach huts and wooden boards of the 1920s to the international surfing competitions of the 1960s. Discover how the sport has developed over the past century and how Jersey has led the way in innovative surfboard designs, from the earliest boards of solid teak to the latest in sustainable surfboards made of seaweed!
Then, visit the Surfing Cinema for three documentary films, taken from the archives, that explore the history of surfing in Jersey, featuring interviews with the people who shaped the Island’s surfing scene.
Mont Orgueil’s ancient links with the Crown make it the perfect site to explore the history of the charters granted to the Island from Edward III onwards
Our ‘Jersey Royal Charters’ banner exhibition is in residence in the Undercroft at Mont Orgueil.
Many of the Royal Charters before Elizabeth I’s reign mention the Castle with its military and strategic importance to the English monarch.
Elizabeth I, of course, favoured the new castle named for her in St Aubin’s Bay (Elizabeth Castle). Following her reign, mention of Mont Orgueil ceased, although the charters continued to reinforce Jersey’s special relationship with the Crown.
This special exhibition examines the many challenges and opportunities Jersey faced following its release from five long years of German Occupation
This exhibition examines the many challenges Jersey faced following its release from five long years of German Occupation. After the celebrations are over, how do you manage the transition from military rule to civilian administration? How do you unite a population divided by loss, separation, and suspicions of collaboration? And how do you return the Island to prosperity after five years of economic isolation and mounting war debts?
The exhibition explores the years following Liberation, both the challenges, joys and opportunities, and traces the Island’s long road to recovery. It also considers how we have remembered Liberation as the years have passed and asks what we can learn from this experience.

The surprising story of how Hamptonne and other Jersey farms almost collapsed during the Occupation, and how they thrived following Liberation in May 1945
This short exhibition tells the Occupation story of Hamptonne and examines how farming recovered after Liberation. As Jersey’s major industry before and after the Second World War, it was seen as vital that farming should prosper following the Occupation. By May 1945, Islanders were concerned that the unique Jersey breed of cattle was under threat due to looting and food shortages, and many felt the decimated farms would never get back to pre-war production. They could not have been more wrong. Learn the surprising story of how farms survived the Occupation and thrived following Liberation.
To mark the 80th anniversary of Liberation, immerse yourself in this captivating ten-minute projected film, ‘A Day to Remember’. As the magnificent events unfold, we hear from Islanders who witnessed them, as well as evacuees in England and deportees in Germany.
Drawing upon archive film and an immense library of stills, we experience the anticipation of freedom, the final surrender on 9 May 1945 and the arrival of Force 135, set to clear away the aftermath of war and make the Island safe again.
Released from captivity, Islanders explore their homeland afresh and begin the journey of recovery. Civilians and servicemen return with news of those who would never come home. Finally, we hear of the gratitude felt by descendants of Occupation veterans for the freedom that was gained all those years ago and the life that it has given them.
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 Link Gallery is a small gallery at Jersey Museum where every month a local artist displays their work. Each month the exhibition changes, creating a year of local artwork covering a wide-range of topics, medias and artistic styles. We also invite local artistic groups, schools or arts organisations to use the Link Gallery.
The Link Gallery is on the ground floor of Jersey Museum and is free to access.

This new FREE exhibition examines how Jersey artists have treated light as a subject in their work. The clarity of light in Jersey – the sunniest place in the British Isles – has long been recognised by visiting and local artists as a unique and attractive feature of the Island. The exhibition examines artists’ responses to Jersey’s natural light through the lens of light as a subject, as a contemplation and as a tool to market a vision of Jersey. Visitors will have the opportunity to see artworks from the Jersey Heritage collection that have not been on display for a number of years.

Discover how the sport has developed over the past century and how Jersey has led the way in innovative surfboard designs, from the earliest boards of solid teak to the latest in sustainable surfboards made of seaweed!
Then, visit the Surfing Cinema for three documentary films, taken from the archives, that explore the history of surfing in Jersey, featuring interviews with the people who shaped the Island’s surfing scene.
Mont Orgueil’s ancient links with the Crown make it the perfect site to explore the history of the charters granted to the Island from Edward III onwards
Our ‘Jersey Royal Charters’ banner exhibition is in residence in the Undercroft at Mont Orgueil.
Many of the Royal Charters before Elizabeth I’s reign mention the Castle with its military and strategic importance to the English monarch.
Elizabeth I, of course, favoured the new castle named for her in St Aubin’s Bay (Elizabeth Castle). Following her reign, mention of Mont Orgueil ceased, although the charters continued to reinforce Jersey’s special relationship with the Crown.
This special exhibition examines the many challenges and opportunities Jersey faced following its release from five long years of German Occupation
This exhibition examines the many challenges Jersey faced following its release from five long years of German Occupation. After the celebrations are over, how do you manage the transition from military rule to civilian administration? How do you unite a population divided by loss, separation, and suspicions of collaboration? And how do you return the Island to prosperity after five years of economic isolation and mounting war debts?
The exhibition explores the years following Liberation, both the challenges, joys and opportunities, and traces the Island’s long road to recovery. It also considers how we have remembered Liberation as the years have passed and asks what we can learn from this experience.
The Link Gallery is a small gallery at Jersey Museum where every month a local artist displays their work.

Jersey is a special Island. It is tiny – a small dot on the world map. But its size belies the breadth of its unique and varied heritage. This NEW free exhibition explores what makes us Jersey.
The Island has been a home, a haven, a paradise, a battleground, a prison. It has been a place of dreams and disasters, of connection and isolation, of vulnerability and strength, of unique creatures and ancient landscapes, of pioneers and tradition.
Over the course of hundreds of thousands of years, four million people have been part of its history.
This exhibition celebrates some of our Island’s most significant moments and discovers how living here has affected the lives of just a few of those four million. Using our most special objects as witnesses to our past, it explores how we have come to be an Island and Islanders.
Prehistoric mammoth skulls and dwarf red deer bones tell the story of becoming an island; gold torques and ancient coin hoards explore the theme of Jersey as a sacred island; royal charters describe the Island as separate and different. During the Battle of Jersey and the Occupation, the Island was a place of conflict. At other times, Jersey was a place of refuge. Islands are also a little bit exotic and Jersey has attracted artists, honeymooners and holidaymakers. In this new exhibition, discover stories of our Island and explore what it means to be Jersey.

Every Sunday morning one of our qualified guides will take you on a journey through the fascinating history and culture of Jersey.
With their unique insights, our guide will take you on a journey beginning at the end of the last ice-age, some 6,000 years ago when Jersey became an Island. You will learn about the people, see some of the iconic sites of St Helier and hear about the events that have helped shape Jersey’s history, making it the modern, bustling and multicultural island it is today.

Any stroll through town soon reveals its long and important history – some reminders are obvious, while others are more challenging to spot and interpret. On this fascinating walk, you’ll learn about the military history of St Helier’s southern quarter, around its harbour and across the town hills. Led by historian Ian Ronayne, you’ll examine evidence of Occupation railways, explore Jersey’s last British fortifications, learn about the mighty Napoleonic-era Fort Regent, and visit a beleaguered bunker that once held the keys to St Helier Harbour.
Kindly supported by the Jersey Community Foundation with funds from the Channel Islands Lottery.
Enjoy an immersive and relaxing afternoon, where you’ll be introduced to the sensory arts of foraging and Forest Therapy.
You’ll experience the restorative and energising power of becoming one with nature, through tasting wild food, with an embodied connection to the land.
Relaxing, gentle ways of bodyful connectedness, becoming fully present with your environs. This involves tuning into the plant and animal world through your senses, the way our ancestors knew the land, exploring the new spring shoots that are emerging now.
An infused wild herbal tea and some home-baked sourdough cake will be served to celebrate our time together. Finishing around 4.30pm.
This is a seasonal foraging exploration, with Forest Therapy invitations woven through the experience, inviting you to engage with nature to develop your own wild relationship with the land, and your own inner nature.
BONUS: Learn about Operation Hardtack 28 – Jersey’s only Allied Commando raid on Christmas night 1943 with living history and kit displays!
Visit the M19 5cm automatic fortress mortar bunker which is uniquely connected to a 6-loopholed heavy machine gun turret bunker by an impressive underground corridor. The bunkers are authentically restored to their original wartime condition and displays are based around information given by the soldiers who actually served there! There is also information on the forced labourers who constructed the site and interactions between the soldiers with nearby civilians as well as an escape attempt which ended in failure on the causeway to the lighthouse in September 1944.

With their unique insights, our guide will take you on a journey beginning at the end of the last ice-age, some 6,000 years ago when Jersey became an Island. You will learn about the people, see some of the iconic sites of St Helier and hear about the events that have helped shape Jersey’s history, making it the modern, bustling and multicultural island it is today.

Any stroll through town soon reveals its long and important history – some reminders are obvious, while others are more challenging to spot and interpret. On this fascinating walk, you’ll learn about the military history of St Helier’s southern quarter, around its harbour and across the town hills. Led by historian Ian Ronayne, you’ll examine evidence of Occupation railways, explore Jersey’s last British fortifications, learn about the mighty Napoleonic-era Fort Regent, and visit a beleaguered bunker that once held the keys to St Helier Harbour.
Kindly supported by the Jersey Community Foundation with funds from the Channel Islands Lottery.
Enjoy an immersive and relaxing afternoon, where you’ll be introduced to the sensory arts of foraging and Forest Therapy.
You’ll experience the restorative and energising power of becoming one with nature, through tasting wild food, with an embodied connection to the land.
Relaxing, gentle ways of bodyful connectedness, becoming fully present with your environs. This involves tuning into the plant and animal world through your senses, the way our ancestors knew the land, exploring the new spring shoots that are emerging now.
An infused wild herbal tea and some home-baked sourdough cake will be served to celebrate our time together. Finishing around 4.30pm.
This is a seasonal foraging exploration, with Forest Therapy invitations woven through the experience, inviting you to engage with nature to develop your own wild relationship with the land, and your own inner nature.
BONUS: Learn about Operation Hardtack 28 – Jersey’s only Allied Commando raid on Christmas night 1943 with living history and kit displays!
Visit the M19 5cm automatic fortress mortar bunker which is uniquely connected to a 6-loopholed heavy machine gun turret bunker by an impressive underground corridor. The bunkers are authentically restored to their original wartime condition and displays are based around information given by the soldiers who actually served there! There is also information on the forced labourers who constructed the site and interactions between the soldiers with nearby civilians as well as an escape attempt which ended in failure on the causeway to the lighthouse in September 1944.

Inspired by the exceptional properties of the light in Jersey, which have made it home to artists over the centuries, this exhibition is a rare chance to view works from the Jersey Heritage collection that see the light in different ways.
This new FREE exhibition examines how Jersey artists have treated light as a subject in their work. The clarity of light in Jersey – the sunniest place in the British Isles – has long been recognised by visiting and local artists as a unique and attractive feature of the Island. The exhibition examines artists’ responses to Jersey’s natural light through the lens of light as a subject, as a contemplation and as a tool to market a vision of Jersey. Visitors will have the opportunity to see artworks from the Jersey Heritage collection that have not been on display for a number of years.
The surprising story of how Hamptonne and other Jersey farms almost collapsed during the Occupation, and how they thrived following Liberation in May 1945
This short exhibition tells the Occupation story of Hamptonne and examines how farming recovered after Liberation. As Jersey’s major industry before and after the Second World War, it was seen as vital that farming should prosper following the Occupation. By May 1945, Islanders were concerned that the unique Jersey breed of cattle was under threat due to looting and food shortages, and many felt the decimated farms would never get back to pre-war production. They could not have been more wrong. Learn the surprising story of how farms survived the Occupation and thrived following Liberation.
To mark the 80th anniversary of Liberation, immerse yourself in this captivating ten-minute projected film, ‘A Day to Remember’. As the magnificent events unfold, we hear from Islanders who witnessed them, as well as evacuees in England and deportees in Germany.
Drawing upon archive film and an immense library of stills, we experience the anticipation of freedom, the final surrender on 9 May 1945 and the arrival of Force 135, set to clear away the aftermath of war and make the Island safe again.
Released from captivity, Islanders explore their homeland afresh and begin the journey of recovery. Civilians and servicemen return with news of those who would never come home. Finally, we hear of the gratitude felt by descendants of Occupation veterans for the freedom that was gained all those years ago and the life that it has given them.
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 Link Gallery is a small gallery at Jersey Museum where every month a local artist displays their work. Each month the exhibition changes, creating a year of local artwork covering a wide-range of topics, medias and artistic styles. We also invite local artistic groups, schools or arts organisations to use the Link Gallery.

Mont Orgueil’s ancient links with the Crown make it the perfect site to explore the history of the charters granted to the Island from Edward III onwards
Our ‘Jersey Royal Charters’ banner exhibition is in residence in the Undercroft at Mont Orgueil.
Many of the Royal Charters before Elizabeth I’s reign mention the Castle with its military and strategic importance to the English monarch.
Elizabeth I, of course, favoured the new castle named for her in St Aubin’s Bay (Elizabeth Castle). Following her reign, mention of Mont Orgueil ceased, although the charters continued to reinforce Jersey’s special relationship with the Crown.
This special exhibition examines the many challenges and opportunities Jersey faced following its release from five long years of German Occupation
This exhibition examines the many challenges Jersey faced following its release from five long years of German Occupation. After the celebrations are over, how do you manage the transition from military rule to civilian administration? How do you unite a population divided by loss, separation, and suspicions of collaboration? And how do you return the Island to prosperity after five years of economic isolation and mounting war debts?
The exhibition explores the years following Liberation, both the challenges, joys and opportunities, and traces the Island’s long road to recovery. It also considers how we have remembered Liberation as the years have passed and asks what we can learn from this experience.

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.

Jersey is a special Island. It is tiny – a small dot on the world map. But its size belies the breadth of its unique and varied heritage. This NEW free exhibition explores what makes us Jersey.
The Island has been a home, a haven, a paradise, a battleground, a prison. It has been a place of dreams and disasters, of connection and isolation, of vulnerability and strength, of unique creatures and ancient landscapes, of pioneers and tradition.
Over the course of hundreds of thousands of years, four million people have been part of its history.
This exhibition celebrates some of our Island’s most significant moments and discovers how living here has affected the lives of just a few of those four million. Using our most special objects as witnesses to our past, it explores how we have come to be an Island and Islanders.
Prehistoric mammoth skulls and dwarf red deer bones tell the story of becoming an island; gold torques and ancient coin hoards explore the theme of Jersey as a sacred island; royal charters describe the Island as separate and different. During the Battle of Jersey and the Occupation, the Island was a place of conflict. At other times, Jersey was a place of refuge. Islands are also a little bit exotic and Jersey has attracted artists, honeymooners and holidaymakers. In this new exhibition, discover stories of our Island and explore what it means to be Jersey.

Prehistoric mammoth skulls and dwarf red deer bones tell the story of becoming an island; gold torques and ancient coin hoards explore the theme of Jersey as a sacred island; royal charters describe the Island as separate and different. During the Battle of Jersey and the Occupation, the Island was a place of conflict. At other times, Jersey was a place of refuge. Islands are also a little bit exotic and Jersey has attracted artists, honeymooners and holidaymakers. In this new exhibition, discover stories of our Island and explore what it means to be Jersey.
The Link Gallery is a small gallery at Jersey Museum where every month a local artist displays their work. Each month the exhibition changes, creating a year of local artwork covering a wide-range of topics, medias and artistic styles. We also invite local artistic groups, schools or arts organisations to use the Link Gallery.
The Link Gallery is on the ground floor of Jersey Museum and is free to access.

Inspired by the exceptional properties of the light in Jersey, which have made it home to artists over the centuries, this exhibition is a rare chance to view works from the Jersey Heritage collection that see the light in different ways.
This new FREE exhibition examines how Jersey artists have treated light as a subject in their work. The clarity of light in Jersey – the sunniest place in the British Isles – has long been recognised by visiting and local artists as a unique and attractive feature of the Island. The exhibition examines artists’ responses to Jersey’s natural light through the lens of light as a subject, as a contemplation and as a tool to market a vision of Jersey. Visitors will have the opportunity to see artworks from the Jersey Heritage collection that have not been on display for a number of years.
The surprising story of how Hamptonne and other Jersey farms almost collapsed during the Occupation, and how they thrived following Liberation in May 1945
This short exhibition tells the Occupation story of Hamptonne and examines how farming recovered after Liberation. As Jersey’s major industry before and after the Second World War, it was seen as vital that farming should prosper following the Occupation. By May 1945, Islanders were concerned that the unique Jersey breed of cattle was under threat due to looting and food shortages, and many felt the decimated farms would never get back to pre-war production. They could not have been more wrong. Learn the surprising story of how farms survived the Occupation and thrived following Liberation.
To mark the 80th anniversary of Liberation, immerse yourself in this captivating ten-minute projected film, ‘A Day to Remember’. As the magnificent events unfold, we hear from Islanders who witnessed them, as well as evacuees in England and deportees in Germany.
Drawing upon archive film and an immense library of stills, we experience the anticipation of freedom, the final surrender on 9 May 1945 and the arrival of Force 135, set to clear away the aftermath of war and make the Island safe again.
Released from captivity, Islanders explore their homeland afresh and begin the journey of recovery. Civilians and servicemen return with news of those who would never come home. Finally, we hear of the gratitude felt by descendants of Occupation veterans for the freedom that was gained all those years ago and the life that it has given them.
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 Link Gallery is a small gallery at Jersey Museum where every month a local artist displays their work. Each month the exhibition changes, creating a year of local artwork covering a wide-range of topics, medias and artistic styles.

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.

“Gentlemen, I have invited you here to convey some extremely unpleasant news. We are to be visited by a government inspector…”
The mayor and local officials of a small provincial town in Russia have got it made: corruption is rife and they have all the power. Yet, when they learn that an undercover government inspector is about to make a visit, they face a mad dash to cover their tracks…
One of the most famous comedies in world theatre, Gogol’s masterpiece has lost none of its bite. The Government Inspector remains a classic satire on the nature of human vanity full of outrageous characters, witty wordplay and sharp social commentary.

Mont Orgueil’s ancient links with the Crown make it the perfect site to explore the history of the charters granted to the Island from Edward III onwards
Our ‘Jersey Royal Charters’ banner exhibition is in residence in the Undercroft at Mont Orgueil.
Many of the Royal Charters before Elizabeth I’s reign mention the Castle with its military and strategic importance to the English monarch.
Elizabeth I, of course, favoured the new castle named for her in St Aubin’s Bay (Elizabeth Castle). Following her reign, mention of Mont Orgueil ceased, although the charters continued to reinforce Jersey’s special relationship with the Crown.
This special exhibition examines the many challenges and opportunities Jersey faced following its release from five long years of German Occupation
This exhibition examines the many challenges Jersey faced following its release from five long years of German Occupation. After the celebrations are over, how do you manage the transition from military rule to civilian administration? How do you unite a population divided by loss, separation, and suspicions of collaboration? And how do you return the Island to prosperity after five years of economic isolation and mounting war debts?
The exhibition explores the years following Liberation, both the challenges, joys and opportunities, and traces the Island’s long road to recovery. It also considers how we have remembered Liberation as the years have passed and asks what we can learn from this experience.
The Link Gallery is a small gallery at Jersey Museum where every month a local artist displays their work.

Discover the lesser-known history of St Clement as we follow Le Hocq Lane to the old Le Hocq Station, then climb La Houguette to see the site of the planned WWII range tower, followed by the remains of the earlier Royalist fort on the same headland. Quiet lanes lead us on to Batterie Seeckt and the former Lager Rommel forced-labour camp, later used to house German troops.
We then drop to Nicolle Tower, pass the dolmen, continue to Samares Station, and finish at the surviving JER cattle arch before returning to the Parish Hall.
A 4km walk is of moderate difficulty, on mix of lanes, hills and muddy paths – sturdy footwear recommended.
Kindly supported by the Jersey Community Foundation with funds from the Channel Islands Lottery.

“Gentlemen, I have invited you here to convey some extremely unpleasant news. We are to be visited by a government inspector…”
The mayor and local officials of a small provincial town in Russia have got it made: corruption is rife and they have all the power. Yet, when they learn that an undercover government inspector is about to make a visit, they face a mad dash to cover their tracks…
One of the most famous comedies in world theatre, Gogol’s masterpiece has lost none of its bite. The Government Inspector remains a classic satire on the nature of human vanity full of outrageous characters, witty wordplay and sharp social commentary.

Jersey is a special Island. It is tiny – a small dot on the world map. But its size belies the breadth of its unique and varied heritage. This NEW free exhibition explores what makes us Jersey.
The Island has been a home, a haven, a paradise, a battleground, a prison. It has been a place of dreams and disasters, of connection and isolation, of vulnerability and strength, of unique creatures and ancient landscapes, of pioneers and tradition.
Over the course of hundreds of thousands of years, four million people have been part of its history.
This exhibition celebrates some of our Island’s most significant moments and discovers how living here has affected the lives of just a few of those four million. Using our most special objects as witnesses to our past, it explores how we have come to be an Island and Islanders.
Prehistoric mammoth skulls and dwarf red deer bones tell the story of becoming an island; gold torques and ancient coin hoards explore the theme of Jersey as a sacred island; royal charters describe the Island as separate and different. During the Battle of Jersey and the Occupation, the Island was a place of conflict. At other times, Jersey was a place of refuge. Islands are also a little bit exotic and Jersey has attracted artists, honeymooners and holidaymakers. In this new exhibition, discover stories of our Island and explore what it means to be Jersey.
The Link Gallery is a small gallery at Jersey Museum where every month a local artist displays their work. Each month the exhibition changes, creating a year of local artwork covering a wide-range of topics, medias and artistic styles.

Inspired by the exceptional properties of the light in Jersey, which have made it home to artists over the centuries, this exhibition is a rare chance to view works from the Jersey Heritage collection that see the light in different ways.
This new FREE exhibition examines how Jersey artists have treated light as a subject in their work. The clarity of light in Jersey – the sunniest place in the British Isles – has long been recognised by visiting and local artists as a unique and attractive feature of the Island. The exhibition examines artists’ responses to Jersey’s natural light through the lens of light as a subject, as a contemplation and as a tool to market a vision of Jersey. Visitors will have the opportunity to see artworks from the Jersey Heritage collection that have not been on display for a number of years.
The surprising story of how Hamptonne and other Jersey farms almost collapsed during the Occupation, and how they thrived following Liberation in May 1945
This short exhibition tells the Occupation story of Hamptonne and examines how farming recovered after Liberation. As Jersey’s major industry before and after the Second World War, it was seen as vital that farming should prosper following the Occupation. By May 1945, Islanders were concerned that the unique Jersey breed of cattle was under threat due to looting and food shortages, and many felt the decimated farms would never get back to pre-war production. They could not have been more wrong. Learn the surprising story of how farms survived the Occupation and thrived following Liberation.
To mark the 80th anniversary of Liberation, immerse yourself in this captivating ten-minute projected film, ‘A Day to Remember’. As the magnificent events unfold, we hear from Islanders who witnessed them, as well as evacuees in England and deportees in Germany.
Drawing upon archive film and an immense library of stills, we experience the anticipation of freedom, the final surrender on 9 May 1945 and the arrival of Force 135, set to clear away the aftermath of war and make the Island safe again.
Released from captivity, Islanders explore their homeland afresh and begin the journey of recovery. Civilians and servicemen return with news of those who would never come home. Finally, we hear of the gratitude felt by descendants of Occupation veterans for the freedom that was gained all those years ago and the life that it has given them.
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 Link Gallery is a small gallery at Jersey Museum where every month a local artist displays their work. Each month the exhibition changes, creating a year of local artwork covering a wide-range of topics, medias and artistic styles. We also invite local artistic groups, schools or arts organisations to use the Link Gallery.

BATTERIE LOTHRINGEN 2 STORY COMMAND BUNKER – NAVAL OBSERVATION & RANGE FINDING TOWER ‘MP1’ – TYPE 101v PERSONNEL BUNKER – Noirmont Point, St. Brelade’s.
Originally intended as ‘Marine Battery 2’ armed with 4 modern quick firing 15cm turreted guns which never arrived thanks to the success of Allied bombing raids in Europe, Coastal Artillery Batterie Lothringen at Noirmont Point was the only Kriegsmarine (Naval) battery found in Jersey and armed with ex-battleship 15cm guns. The ‘eyes’ of the battery is the CIOS maintained large multi-floored Command Bunker equipped with both a 6 meter range finder and Azimuth direction finding periscopes protected by armoured turrets.
Originally equipped with state of the art equipment to calculate the ‘target’ location and how humidity wind etc. would affect the shell’s flight, today parts of the bunker are restored to how it looked when operational. There is also information on Allied attacks that took place off the headland and items found in the area of relevance to the Battery and those who manned it, and you can even look through one of the periscopes!
Knowledgeable members will be on hand to help you with your visit and the CIOS has also progressively opened up a large proportion of the Battery’s sealed bunkers behind the command bunker which allows the interested visitor to explore them and have a better understanding of how the battery worked thanks to numerous interpretation panels found on multiple structures.
Every Sunday morning one of our qualified guides will take you on a journey through the fascinating history and culture of Jersey.

You will learn about the people, see some of the iconic sites of St Helier and hear about the events that have helped shape Jersey’s history, making it the modern, bustling and multicultural island it is today.

Mont Orgueil’s ancient links with the Crown make it the perfect site to explore the history of the charters granted to the Island from Edward III onwards
Our ‘Jersey Royal Charters’ banner exhibition is in residence in the Undercroft at Mont Orgueil.
Many of the Royal Charters before Elizabeth I’s reign mention the Castle with its military and strategic importance to the English monarch.
Elizabeth I, of course, favoured the new castle named for her in St Aubin’s Bay (Elizabeth Castle). Following her reign, mention of Mont Orgueil ceased, although the charters continued to reinforce Jersey’s special relationship with the Crown.
This special exhibition examines the many challenges and opportunities Jersey faced following its release from five long years of German Occupation
This exhibition examines the many challenges Jersey faced following its release from five long years of German Occupation. After the celebrations are over, how do you manage the transition from military rule to civilian administration? How do you unite a population divided by loss, separation, and suspicions of collaboration? And how do you return the Island to prosperity after five years of economic isolation and mounting war debts?
The exhibition explores the years following Liberation, both the challenges, joys and opportunities, and traces the Island’s long road to recovery. It also considers how we have remembered Liberation as the years have passed and asks what we can learn from this experience.
The Link Gallery is a small gallery at Jersey Museum where every month a local artist displays their work. Each month the exhibition changes, creating a year of local artwork covering a wide-range of topics, medias and artistic styles. We also invite local artistic groups, schools or arts organisations to use the Link Gallery.
The Link Gallery is on the ground floor of Jersey Museum and is free to access.

Jersey is a special Island. It is tiny – a small dot on the world map. But its size belies the breadth of its unique and varied heritage. This NEW free exhibition explores what makes us Jersey.
The Island has been a home, a haven, a paradise, a battleground, a prison. It has been a place of dreams and disasters, of connection and isolation, of vulnerability and strength, of unique creatures and ancient landscapes, of pioneers and tradition.
Over the course of hundreds of thousands of years, four million people have been part of its history.
This exhibition celebrates some of our Island’s most significant moments and discovers how living here has affected the lives of just a few of those four million. Using our most special objects as witnesses to our past, it explores how we have come to be an Island and Islanders.
Prehistoric mammoth skulls and dwarf red deer bones tell the story of becoming an island; gold torques and ancient coin hoards explore the theme of Jersey as a sacred island; royal charters describe the Island as separate and different. During the Battle of Jersey and the Occupation, the Island was a place of conflict. At other times, Jersey was a place of refuge. Islands are also a little bit exotic and Jersey has attracted artists, honeymooners and holidaymakers. In this new exhibition, discover stories of our Island and explore what it means to be Jersey.

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.

Inspired by the exceptional properties of the light in Jersey, which have made it home to artists over the centuries, this exhibition is a rare chance to view works from the Jersey Heritage collection that see the light in different ways.
This new FREE exhibition examines how Jersey artists have treated light as a subject in their work. The clarity of light in Jersey – the sunniest place in the British Isles – has long been recognised by visiting and local artists as a unique and attractive feature of the Island. The exhibition examines artists’ responses to Jersey’s natural light through the lens of light as a subject, as a contemplation and as a tool to market a vision of Jersey. Visitors will have the opportunity to see artworks from the Jersey Heritage collection that have not been on display for a number of years.
The surprising story of how Hamptonne and other Jersey farms almost collapsed during the Occupation, and how they thrived following Liberation in May 1945
This short exhibition tells the Occupation story of Hamptonne and examines how farming recovered after Liberation. As Jersey’s major industry before and after the Second World War, it was seen as vital that farming should prosper following the Occupation. By May 1945, Islanders were concerned that the unique Jersey breed of cattle was under threat due to looting and food shortages, and many felt the decimated farms would never get back to pre-war production. They could not have been more wrong. Learn the surprising story of how farms survived the Occupation and thrived following Liberation.
To mark the 80th anniversary of Liberation, immerse yourself in this captivating ten-minute projected film, ‘A Day to Remember’. As the magnificent events unfold, we hear from Islanders who witnessed them, as well as evacuees in England and deportees in Germany.
Drawing upon archive film and an immense library of stills, we experience the anticipation of freedom, the final surrender on 9 May 1945 and the arrival of Force 135, set to clear away the aftermath of war and make the Island safe again.
Released from captivity, Islanders explore their homeland afresh and begin the journey of recovery. Civilians and servicemen return with news of those who would never come home. Finally, we hear of the gratitude felt by descendants of Occupation veterans for the freedom that was gained all those years ago and the life that it has given them.
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 Link Gallery is a small gallery at Jersey Museum where every month a local artist displays their work. Each month the exhibition changes, creating a year of local artwork covering a wide-range of topics, medias and artistic styles. We also invite local artistic groups, schools or arts organisations to use the Link Gallery.

The Island has been a home, a haven, a paradise, a battleground, a prison. It has been a place of dreams and disasters, of connection and isolation, of vulnerability and strength, of unique creatures and ancient landscapes, of pioneers and tradition.
Over the course of hundreds of thousands of years, four million people have been part of its history.
This exhibition celebrates some of our Island’s most significant moments and discovers how living here has affected the lives of just a few of those four million. Using our most special objects as witnesses to our past, it explores how we have come to be an Island and Islanders.
Prehistoric mammoth skulls and dwarf red deer bones tell the story of becoming an island; gold torques and ancient coin hoards explore the theme of Jersey as a sacred island; royal charters describe the Island as separate and different. During the Battle of Jersey and the Occupation, the Island was a place of conflict. At other times, Jersey was a place of refuge. Islands are also a little bit exotic and Jersey has attracted artists, honeymooners and holidaymakers. In this new exhibition, discover stories of our Island and explore what it means to be Jersey.
The Link Gallery is a small gallery at Jersey Museum where every month a local artist displays their work.

Inspired by the exceptional properties of the light in Jersey, which have made it home to artists over the centuries, this exhibition is a rare chance to view works from the Jersey Heritage collection that see the light in different ways.
This new FREE exhibition examines how Jersey artists have treated light as a subject in their work. The clarity of light in Jersey – the sunniest place in the British Isles – has long been recognised by visiting and local artists as a unique and attractive feature of the Island. The exhibition examines artists’ responses to Jersey’s natural light through the lens of light as a subject, as a contemplation and as a tool to market a vision of Jersey. Visitors will have the opportunity to see artworks from the Jersey Heritage collection that have not been on display for a number of years.
The surprising story of how Hamptonne and other Jersey farms almost collapsed during the Occupation, and how they thrived following Liberation in May 1945
This short exhibition tells the Occupation story of Hamptonne and examines how farming recovered after Liberation. As Jersey’s major industry before and after the Second World War, it was seen as vital that farming should prosper following the Occupation. By May 1945, Islanders were concerned that the unique Jersey breed of cattle was under threat due to looting and food shortages, and many felt the decimated farms would never get back to pre-war production. They could not have been more wrong. Learn the surprising story of how farms survived the Occupation and thrived following Liberation.
To mark the 80th anniversary of Liberation, immerse yourself in this captivating ten-minute projected film, ‘A Day to Remember’. As the magnificent events unfold, we hear from Islanders who witnessed them, as well as evacuees in England and deportees in Germany.
Drawing upon archive film and an immense library of stills, we experience the anticipation of freedom, the final surrender on 9 May 1945 and the arrival of Force 135, set to clear away the aftermath of war and make the Island safe again.
Released from captivity, Islanders explore their homeland afresh and begin the journey of recovery. Civilians and servicemen return with news of those who would never come home. Finally, we hear of the gratitude felt by descendants of Occupation veterans for the freedom that was gained all those years ago and the life that it has given them.
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 Link Gallery is a small gallery at Jersey Museum where every month a local artist displays their work. Each month the exhibition changes, creating a year of local artwork covering a wide-range of topics, medias and artistic styles. We also invite local artistic groups, schools or arts organisations to use the Link Gallery.

Join us for a hands-on morning learning the art of apple grafting with Vincent Obbard, set among the beautiful gardens of Samarès Manor
We begin at 9:30 a.m. with a warm welcome and coffee/tea before heading out for a guided walk around the apple trees in the herb garden and vegetable garden.
Vincent will demonstrate his pruning techniques, and everyone will have the chance to try pruning for themselves.
Grafting by the Fire
Afterwards, we return to the cosy hall by the fire, where each participant will receive:
– an apple rootstock – a scion (apple cutting)
Vincent will guide you step-by-step through the grafting process – showing how to make a clean join so your cutting will successfully fuse with its rootstock.
Take Home Your Own Apple Tree! You’ll leave with your grafted tree and the knowledge to continue grafting at home.
Returning home from an outing to a nearby town, bored housewife Laura Jesson (Celia Johnson) is thrown by chance into an acquaintance with idealistic doctor Alec Harvey (Trevor Howard). Their casual friendship soon develops into something more emotionally fulfilling, and they must wrestle with the potential devastation their deepening relationship would have on their lives and the lives of those they love. A classic romantic drama from iconic director David Lean.

Air Force pilot Peter Carter (David Niven) is on his way home from a World War II bombing mission in a badly damaged aircraft.

However, Peter survives, against the odds, finds June and they fall in love. A problem arises when a divine messenger arrives to escort Peter to heaven to rectify his wrongful survival…
Ken Loach’s acclaimed drama focuses on Billy Casper (David Bradley), a tormented working-class boy who is subjected to abuse both at school and at home. Billy’s existence is mostly bleak until he takes up an interest in falconry and begins training a kestrel that he finds on a nearby farm. While Billy forms a close bond with the kestrel, his difficult life and harsh environment prove to be a challenge to the boy and his beloved bird.
