Jersey What's On / Visitor Guide Autumn 2023

UNDERGROUND

TUNNEL COMPLEX

Each edition, we ask one of our islanders, who live and work in the island and symbolise local life, to introduce you to Jersey.

Welcome

To an Island shaped by time and tide.

Millie Butel Landscape Engagement & Geopark Development Curator

I am lucky enough to have been born and raised here, on this beautiful Island, amongst a vibrant community of Islanders where the question on everyone’s lips is, “what time is high tide?”.

Entering autumn, the leaves change and bring new colours into the landscape – red, orange and yellow. The sea temperature remains warm and inviting after the heat of summer, offering the opportunity to explore an underwater world.

At the top of the steps to Portelet, I pause and smile as I take in the picture-perfect view of just one of Jersey’s many special places and breathe in the fresh sea air – the tide is just right. A small boat goes across the back of the Bay and around the granite headland and I see a local fisherman heading back to harbour to sort today’s catch. As I walk down the steps, I hear a rustle along the path and spot a lizard dashing into the undergrowth. In front of me is the small islet with a round tower on top that I love to explore at low tide. When I reach the beach, I look along towards the beach café on my right and see friends waiting sat beneath the large rounded cobbled stones of the raised beach – these cobbles show just how the Earth’s shifting plates and changing sea level have altered Jersey’s coastline over hundreds of thousands of years. After following the snorkel trail with my friends, we peel off our wetsuits to dry off before we slowly make our way back up together in good spirits, leaving only footprints behind.

From our country lanes winding between fields of Jersey cows, prehistoric remains in coastal caves, historic harbours and medieval castles, to a ‘five-mile’ long sandy beach and the offshore reefs just waiting for you on the horizon, Jersey is a truly special place – shaped by time and tide. You are never more than a stone’s throw away from your next adventure.

BOUÔNJOUR

Welcome to What’s On, Jersey’s handy visitor guidebook, with a comprehensive events listing section to make sure you find something great to do during your stay. Also over the coming pages of our pocketfriendly, but strangely well-packed guide, we include a full run-down of our wonderful visitor attractions, our miles and miles of fabulous beaches and the incredible natural and built environment that has developed over Jersey’s rich history. We also share some local shopping picks from our diverse range of retailers and a guide to local restaurants, whether you’re hunting for some local seafood or a Michelin starred feast. We polish that off with a profile of some of our late night bars, in case you’ve still got some energy after your days enjoying our beautiful island.

St. Helier

While the island holds appeal at every corner, you’ll no doubt spend some time in our capital, the mighty St. Helier. Liberation Square is the anchor-point at which most people find themselves when they begin exploring the island’s capital. There you’ll find the Liberation Statue and fountains. The bus station and Tourist Information Centre, are both a short walk away. Head down Conway Street and you’ll find yourself on King Street, the centre of St. Helier’s main shopping area. From there, use the list below to find something that takes your fancy.

Did you know that Jersey is an Aspiring Geopark?

Geoparks are outstanding places around the world that celebrate the links between people and the earth. Jersey is a strong contender for this special designation because of our island’s exceptional geology and unique cultural heritage which forms the breathtaking surroundings we enjoy every day.

As an ‘Aspiring Geopark’, Jersey is on track to achieving the special designation of a ‘Geopark.’ Explore Jersey’s diverse landscapes,

uncover our unique heritage and be inspired by our remarkable seascapes – it’s all waiting to be discovered in our Aspiring Geopark.

A Geopark is about more than rocks. Each one is unique and tells the whole story of an area, right from the very beginning. There are 177 UNESCO Global Geoparks in 46 countries around the world. United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) seeks to

La Cotte de St. Brelade and Neanderthal Landscapes

build peace through international cooperation in Education, the Sciences and Culture. The UNESCO Global Geoparks celebrate the links between people and the Earth. Jersey hopes to be recognised as a unique place by being awarded Geopark status.

The Aspiring Jersey Island

Geopark Visitor Centre at Jersey Museum introduces the story of Jersey’s geological heritage and is the Island hub for information on exploring Jersey to see firsthand how geology has shaped and influenced the Island we know today.

Walking.

Jersey’s cliff-edged heights and wide sandy bays are best seen on foot, with a breeze to keep you cool. You’ll find an extensive network of footpaths as well as winding country lanes, and breathtaking beaches. Walking is a great way to explore the outdoors allowing us to wander through Jersey’s spectacular landscapes, enjoying this Aspiring Geopark’s natural and built heritage.

We may be small, but we pack many diverse, beautiful and challenging cycle routes into our nine miles by five. You’ll be spoilt for choice for bike hire in Jersey, you’ll find mountain, leisure and road bikes and e-bikes if you’re looking for a little assistance.

See an example ride on page 100

Diving and Snorkelling.

The sun has warmed the sea all summer long, making autumn the perfect time to dive in! It’s a special time of year when the air and water temperature meet, existing at the same temperature, making getting in and out of the water a slightly lesser feat. Jersey’s shallow marine habitats offer an opportunity to explore the beauty and diversity that lies beneath the waves through the creation of a snorkel trail. Portelet Bay boasts an element of isolation from the island, forming its own little oasis. A small islet located in the middle of the bay, Janvrin’s Tomb (or Île au Guerdain), is surrounded by water at high tide. At low tide, the islet becomes accessible via a soft sand bar.

What makes our Aspiring Jersey Geopark so special?

Geopark Ambassadors are Jersey locals who champion our unique landscapes and seascapes through their roles within our community and their passion for island life. Each Ambassador was asked about what makes this island such a remarkable place…

Jerry Neil

Jersey National Park Officer.

Sand dunes at Le Braye, St. Ouen’s Bay. “Standing on the dunes, you can experience the openness and feeling of space, seeing the Jersey National Park stretching out northwards and inland to the escarpment that cradles the whole bay. You also see the sea, feel the breeze whilst looking at the miles of beach curved by the sea wall all the way to L’Étacq.”

Ralph Nichols

Member of the Geology, Archaeology and Jèrriais sections in the Société Jersiaise.

“My favourite geology is La Crête point which is on the east coast, north side of Anne Port Bay which is an outcrop of columnar joints of lava flow called rhyolite”.

Samantha Blampied PhD

Researcher with University of Plymouth, Blue Marine Foundation.

Favourite of Jersey’s marine life: Tope. “Tope is a species of shark found in our waters. They are on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species as they are being unsustainably fished in other parts of the world.” Tope can be found at Les Minquiers, one of our offshore reefs, which boasts hundreds of granite fangs, wildlife, geology and archaeology.

GET SET! THINGS TO KNOW WHILE YOU’RE HERE

Where are you?

You’re on our beautiful little island in the English Channel but you’re a lot closer to France (around 14 miles at the closest point) than you are to England (closer to 100 miles). You’re surrounded by four other main Channel Islands; Guernsey, Alderney, Sark and Herm and a handful of smaller inhabited and uninhabited islands. Our nearest coastal towns in France are Granville and the historic port of Saint-Malo. The term “Channel Islands” began to be used around 1830, possibly first by the Royal Navy as a collective name for the islands.

Où es-tu?

Vous êtes sur notre belle petite île de la Manche mais vous êtes beaucoup plus proche de la France (environ 22 km au plus près) que de l'Angleterre (plus près de 100 km). Vous êtes entouré de quatre autres îles anglo-normandes principales ; Guernesey, Alderney, Sark et Herm et une poignée de petites îles habitées et inhabitées. Nos villes côtières les plus proches en France sont Granville et le port historique de SaintMalo. Le terme « îles anglo-normandes » a commencé à être utilisé vers 1830, peut-être d'abord par la Royal Navy comme nom collectif pour les îles.

Wo befinden Sie sich?

Sie sind auf unserer wunderschönen kleinen Insel im Ärmelkanal, aber eigentlich viel näher an Frankreich (nur etwa 22 Kilometer Luftlinie) als an England (bis dorthin sind es über 160 Kilometer).

Eine Handvoll kleinere bewohnte und unbewohnte Inseln und die vier größeren Kanalinseln Guernsey, Alderney, Sark und Herm umgeben Sie. Granville und der historische Hafen von Saint-Malo sind unsere nächstgelegenen französischen Küstenstädte. Der Begriff „Kanalinseln“ wird seit etwa 1830 verwendet, wahrscheinlich hat die Royal Navy ihn damals eingeführt als Sammelbezeichnung für die Inseln.

Money

Pounds Sterling is the legal tender but we also have our own banknotes and coins which are classed as accepted tender elsewhere in the UK, people can take it, but they don’t have to - so don’t forget to spend your last few pound notes on souvenirs before you leave. If you forget though, a pound note also makes a great souvenir. Also, if you hold one of our bank notes up to the light you’ll not see Queen Elizabeth II’s image in the hologram but the image of one of our own royalty.

De l'argent

La livre sterling est la monnaie légale, mais nous avons également nos propres billets et pièces qui sont classés comme monnaie acceptée ailleurs au RoyaumeUni, les gens peuvent le prendre, mais ils n'y sont pas obligés - alors n'oubliez pas de dépenser vos dernières livres notes sur les souvenirs avant de partir. Si vous oubliez cependant, un billet d'une livre fait également un excellent souvenir. De plus, si vous tenez l'un de nos billets de banque à la lumière, vous ne verrez pas l'image de la reine Elizabeth II dans l'hologramme, mais l'image de l'un de nos propres membres de la royauté.

Geld

Das Britische Pfund Sterling ist das offizielle Zahlungsmittel, aber wir haben auch unsere eigenen Banknoten und Münzen, die theoretisch überall in Großbritannien als akzeptiertes Zahlungsmittel gelten. Theoretisch. Besser geben Sie vor Abreise Ihre letzten paar Jersey-Pfund aus für nette Souvenirs. Oder Sie behalten einfach direkt eine Jersey-Pfundnote als Souvenir. Denn wenn Sie eine unserer Banknoten gegen das Licht halten, sehen Sie im Hologramm nicht das Bild von Königin Elizabeth II., sondern das Bild eines unserer eigenen Könige.

Our Population

Since the last census in 2011 it’s estimated that our population has grown to around 105,500. You’ll find most of us in and around St. Helier leaving most of the northern, easterly and westerly parishes unspoilt and rural in nature. Roughly 50% of Jersey dwellers on the last census were locally born with 31% from the UK, 7% from Portugal/Madeira, 3% from Poland, 2% from Ireland and the rest from elsewhere.

Notre population Depuis le dernier recensement de 2011, on estime que notre population est passée à environ 105 500. Vous trouverez la plupart d'entre nous dans et autour de Saint-Hélier, laissant la plupart des paroisses du nord, de l'est et de l'ouest intactes et de nature rurale. Environ 50% des habitants de Jersey lors du dernier recensement étaient nés localement, dont 31% du Royaume-Uni, 7% du Portugal / Madère, 3% de Pologne, 2% d'Irlande et le reste d'ailleurs.

Unsere Bevölkerung

Seit der letzten Volkszählung im Jahr 2011 ist unsere Bevölkerung auf rund 105.500 angewachsen. Sie finden die meisten von uns in und um St. Helier, während die nördlichen, östlichen und westlichen Gemeinden überwiegend ländlich geprägt und ruhig sind. Etwa 50 % der Einwohner Jerseys wurden schon auf der Insel geboren, 31 % stammen aus dem Vereinigten Königreich, 7 % aus Portugal/ Madeira, 3 % aus Polen, 2 % aus Irland und der Rest aus anderen Ländern.

GETTING ABOUT

Arriving and leaving

If you arrive by air you’ll be one of a historical average of 1.6 million passengers per year to use Jersey Airport in the west of the island. Served by buses and taxis for onward travel right outside the arrivals hall, hire car services are also available inside the arrivals hall. Foreign exchange and postal services, including posting excess baggage are available in the departures hall.

www.jerseyairport.com / +44 (0) 1534 446000

If you’re wearing your sea legs, you’ll have arrived in St. Helier, Jersey’s capital. Like the airport, buses and taxis are available outside the arrivals hall although central St. Helier is only a short walk away. Scheduled ferries operate between the Channel Islands, England and France and for those with their own boat Jersey Marinas offer a whole host of services for which they’ve earned ‘5 Gold Anchor’ status, an internationally recognised accolade. www.ports.je / +44 (0) 1534 446000

Ankommen und abreisen

Wenn Sie mit dem Flugzeug anreisen, gehören Sie zu den historisch durchschnittlich 1,6 Millionen Passagieren pro Jahr, die den Flughafen Jersey im Westen der Insel nutzen. Direkt vor der Ankunftshalle stehen Busse und Taxis für die Weiterreise bereit, Mietwagenanbieter finden Sie in der Ankunftshalle. In der Abflughalle finden Sie eine Wechselstube und eine Post, die auch Übergepäck, versendet. www.jerseyairport.com

Wenn Sie den Seeweg bevorzugen, kommen Sie in St. Helier, der Hauptstadt von Jersey, an. Wie auch am Flughafen stehen Busse und Taxis vor der Ankunftshalle bereit und das Zentrum von St. Helier ist nur wenige Schritte entfernt. Linienfähren verkehren zwischen den Kanalinseln, England und Frankreich, und für Gäste mit eigenem Boot bieten die Jachthäfen von Jersey eine ganze Reihe von Dienstleistungen an, für die sie den „5 Gold Anchor“-Status erhalten haben, eine international anerkannte Auszeichnung.. www.ports.je / +44 (0) 1534 446000

Arriver et partir

Si vous arrivez par avion, vous ferez partie d'une moyenne historique de 1,6 million de passagers par an à utiliser l'aéroport de Jersey à l'ouest de l'île. Desservi par des bus et des taxis pour continuer le voyage juste devant le hall des arrivées, des services de location de voitures sont également disponibles à l'intérieur du hall des arrivées. Les services de change et postaux, y compris le dépôt des excédents de bagages, sont disponibles dans le hall des départs.

Si vous avez le pied marin, vous serez arrivé à Saint-Hélier, la capitale de Jersey. Comme l'aéroport, des bus et des taxis sont disponibles à l'extérieur du hall des arrivées, bien que le centre de Saint-Hélier ne soit qu'à quelques pas. Des ferries réguliers opèrent entre les îles anglo-normandes, l'Angleterre et la France et pour ceux qui ont leur propre bateau, les marinas de Jersey offrent une multitude de services pour lesquels ils ont obtenu le statut de "5 Gold Anchor", une distinction internationalement reconnue.

Driving

If you get lost, it’s worth bearing in mind that most locals won’t know where the A6 or B12 roads are, because all of our roads bear their own names in addition to these classifications. Your best bet? Point on a map or tell someone where you’re trying to get to! If you’re renting a car you’ll notice that the registration plate bears a white ‘H’ on a red background which denotes it as a hired vehicle. You’d best not flag down one of these for directions as they’re probably lost too. Like the United Kingdom, we drive on the left hand side of the road and all speed limits are posted in mph. The maximum permissable speed limit anywhere is 40mph, with a large number of 30mph and 20mph zones. In the rural parishes you may also notice signs denoting ‘Green Lanes’ where the maximum speed limit is 15mph and right of way is

Conduite

Si vous vous perdez, sachez que la plupart des habitants ne sauront pas où se trouvent les routes A6 ou B12, car toutes nos routes portent leur propre nom en plus de ces classifications. Votre meilleur pari ? Pointez sur une carte ou dites à quelqu’un où vous essayez de vous rendre ! Si vous louez une voiture, vous remarquerez que la plaque d’immatriculation porte un « H » blanc sur fond rouge qui indique qu’il s’agit d’un

HOLD THE LINE!

Fahren

Sollten Sie sich verfahren, bedenken Sie, dass die meisten Einheimischen nicht wissen, wo sich die Straßen A6 oder B12 befinden, da alle unsere Straßen zusätzlich zu diesen Klassifizierungen ihre eigenen Namen tragen. Am besten zeigen Sie auf eine Karte oder sagen Sie einfach, wo Sie hinmöchten. Wenn Sie ein Auto mieten, werden Sie feststellen, dass das Nummernschild ein weißes „H“ auf rotem Grund trägt, welches

given to those walking, cycling or riding horses. You’re also likely to come across a local driving phenomenon known as filter in turn. As you approach one, priority is given to traffic on your right. After they’ve made their move it’s your turn and traffic on your left will yield to you. It’s a great way to keep traffic flowing and once you see it in action it’ll all make sense. The mini roundabout at the bottom of Beaumont Hill is a prime example. Don’t panic, you’ll be fine!

véhicule de location. Vous feriez mieux de ne pas signaler l’un d’entre eux pour les directions car ils sont probablement perdus aussi. Comme au Royaume-Uni, nous conduisons sur le côté gauche de la route et toutes les limites de vitesse sont affichées en mph. La limite de vitesse maximale autorisée n’importe où est de 40 mph, avec un grand nombre de 30 mph et 20 mph zones. Dans les paroisses rurales, vous remarquerez peut-être également des panneaux indiquant les «voies vertes» où la limite de vitesse maximale est de 15 mph et le droit de passage est donné à ceux qui marchent, font du vélo ou montent à cheval.

Vous êtes également susceptible de rencontrer à son tour un phénomène de conduite locale appelé filtre. A l’approche de celui-ci, la priorité est donnée à la circulation sur votre droite. Une fois qu’ils ont fait leur mouvement, c’est à votre tour et la circulation sur votre gauche vous cédera la place. C’est un excellent moyen de maintenir la fluidité du trafic et une fois que vous le verrez en action, tout cela aura du sens. Le mini rond-point au bas de Beaumont Hill en est un excellent exemple. Pas de panique, tout ira bien !

es als Mietwagen kennzeichnet. Sie sollten sich also am besten nicht an Fahrer solcher Autos für Ihre Frage nach dem Weg richten, da sich diese wahrscheinlich selbst verfahren haben. Wie im Vereinigten Königreich fahren wir auf der linken Straßenseite und alle Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungen sind in mph angegeben. Die maximal zulässige Geschwindigkeit beträgt 40 Meilen pro Stunde, in vielen Bereichen liegt die Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung bei 30 oder 20 Meilen pro Stunde. In ländlichen Gemeinden finden Sie Schilder mit der Aufschrift „Green Lanes“. Hier beträgt die Höchstgeschwindigkeit 15 mph und Fußgänger, Radfahrer oder Reiter haben Vorrang. Sie werden wahrscheinlich auch auf eine lokale Besonderheit stoßen, das Straßenschild „Filter in Turn“. Kommen Sie an eine solche Kreuzung, hat zunächst ein von rechts kommendes Fahrzeug Vorrang. Danach sind Sie an der Reihe, gefolgt von einem Fahrzeug zu Ihrer Linken. Auf diese Weise wird der Verkehrsfluss am Laufen gehalten, und es ist weniger kompliziert, als es klingt. Der kleine Kreisverkehr am Fuße des Beaumont Hill ist ein Paradebeispiel. Keine Panik, Sie schaffen das!

Parking

On street parking requires the use of either a yellow disc or Paycard (available from convenience stores and hire car pick up points) to be displayed inside the car as signposted. PayByPhone parking is a cashless parking service that allows you to pay for parking using your mobile phone. It is available in all paying public car parks.

Parking on yellow lines is prohibited at all times.

Multi-storey car parks also require Paycards with the exception of the Sand Street and underground Waterfront car parks which have ticket machines that accept both cash and cards as payment.

Le stationnement sur les lignes jaunes est interdit en tout temps. Les parkings à plusieurs étages nécessitent également des cartes de paiement, à l'exception des parkings de Sand Street et du front de mer souterrain, qui disposent de distributeurs de billets acceptant à la fois les espèces et les cartes comme moyen de paiement.

Das Parken auf gelben Linien ist zu jeder Zeit verboten. Für mehrstöckige Parkhäuser sind ebenfalls Paycards erforderlich, mit Ausnahme des Parkhauses Sand Street und der Waterfront Tiefgarage, die über Ticketautomaten verfügen, an denen sowohl Bargeld- als auch Kartenzahlung möglich sind.

Buses

Buses operate throughout the island to and from Liberation Station in St. Helier. Listed beaches, landmarks and attractions have the route number in their listing.

UNIQUELY JERSEY.

Seven island experiences as chosen by locals.

It’s not always about the places you visit and the things you do when you’re on holiday, it’s about the memories you make while you’re there. Add to your Jersey memory list with a few of these favourite unique experiences.

Sunrise from a fort.

A sunset is beautiful, but there’s something very special about watching the sun rise over the sea, especially when it’s from inside the walls of your very own historic fort on the edge of the cliffs. Surrounded on three sides by the sea, La Crête Fort is set in one of Jersey’s most breathtaking spots –and available as a holiday let with Jersey Heritage.

Sunset over the sea.

The beauty of an island is that you can see both the sunrise and the sunset over the sea – it just depends on which side you’re on. Frame Jersey’s stunning sunsets at a heritage spot like The Barge Aground heritage holiday let, sit up on the roof, sundowner in hand and enjoy watching the bay turn sunset orange.

Desert island yoga.

Why not swap your beach yoga for some ‘deserted island’ yoga? Join a yoga trip out to the Minquiers sandbanks, a 45 minute boat ride away from Jersey and get your Satsang on in a unique island location, where turquoise seas and white sands meet the sky. You could even see dolphins on the way there…

Storm the castle.

There aren’t many medieval castles that you can abseil down… but if you’re intrepid enough, you can abseil down the walls of Mont Orgueil Castle with the sea in the background and get a hands on view of history.

Zookeeper for a day.

A little more local knowledge...

History

The earliest evidence of human activity in Jersey dates to about 250,000 years ago and it was only 6,000 years ago that Jersey was part of mainland Europe before rising tides cut us off and made us an island.

During the American Wars of Independence, two attempted invasions of the island were made. In 1779, the Prince of Orange William V was prevented from landing at St. Ouen’s Bay and on 06 January 1781 a force led by Baron de Rullecourt captured St. Helier in a daring dawn raid, but was defeated by a British

army led by Major Francis Peirson in the Battle of Jersey. Jersey was the fourth-largest ship building area in the 19th-century British Isles, building over 900 vessels around the island.

Jersey was occupied by Nazi German troops between 1940 and 1945, with the Channel Islands being the only British soil occupied during World War II. This period of occupation saw about 8,000 islanders evacuated, 1,200 islanders deported to camps in Germany, and over 300 islanders sentenced to the prisons and concentration camps of mainland Europe. Many islanders remained and

the island was liberated by British troops on 09 May 1945, now celebrated as a public holiday locally.

People

Mostly a mix of Norman French and British settlers, Jersey’s community has also been enriched by the influences of the number of Europeans who also call Jersey their home. If you hear anybody referring to a Crapaud (French for toad) or a Jersey Bean they’ll be talking about one of the natives.

Language

The native language, which you’ll see displayed in a few locations around the island such as the airport and harbour is called Jèrriais but you’ll probably not hear it spoken unless you find yourself in the deepest, darkest of rural parishes such as St. Ouen, where 8% of parishioners speak it according to the results of a 2012 survey. English is the most widely spoken language.

Jersey and its neighbours Jersey has an interesting relationship with both the UK and Europe in that it’s a Crown Dependency, meaning that despite having our own independent government, locals answer to the Queen and the British military support our interests should the need arise. Despite being part of the British Isles, Jersey is not part of the United Kingdom. We’re also not part of the European Union but are a member of the EEC. Confused? You’ll fit right in! And to top it all off, things will no doubt become slightly more interesting as a result of Brexit.

Honorary Police

In addition to the States of Jersey Police force, who serve islandwide, each of Jersey’s twelve parishes has its own

police service that only have jurisdiction within the boundaries of their own parish, also known as the Honorary Police, who are headquartered at each of the parish halls.

Economy

The local economy thrives from a combination of offshore finance, tourism, digital and agriculture. Bathe at our beaches, enjoy our local attractions, dine on our fresh produce including world famous potatoes and dairy products from the herds of local Jersey cows.

Tides

Jersey’s tidal range is one of the largest in the world with a range of around 12 metres. We’ve also got some of the cleanest water in the British Isles, which is a winning combination when it comes to keeping our beaches great. It’s worth noting that because of the huge tidal range that the sea level does rise quickly and it’s easy to get caught out. Be mindful that if you stray too far from the shore there could be a risk of tides cutting you off and leaving you stranded. Pay close attention to the signs and know the dangers.

Safe Swimming

The RNLI have lifeguards stationed at popular bays who provide cover between the red and yelow flags. For more information:

This is Grosnez Castle in St. Ouen, but you can call it ‘grow-nay castle’ (oh, and it’s in ‘saint one’)

Decoding the dialect

A local advises...

Whilst English is the most widely spoken language here in Jersey, if you find yourself interacting with some of the purest of locals you might notice a distinctive intonation that’s likely a remnant of our Norman roots despite sounding closer to a South African twang.

They’re hard to find these days but they’re definitely out there, mostly hidden away in the rural parishes. I should know, I’m descended from them and occasionally find myself pronouncing an ‘arn’ sound as ‘on’ in a way that’d likely disgust the Queen. The example sentence above sums this up

relatively succinctly. If you find yourself talking to somebody who pronounces words like this there’s a good chance they’ll be able to give you reliable directions. Just make sure you’re pronouncing the place names properly. To give you a head start we’ve listed a few on the page to the right.

Where are you heading?

Here are a few commonly mispronounced place names and how to say them so that nobody stares at you in complete and utter bewilderment. Good luck!

The Corn Riots Harvest Festival

The Corn Riots Harvest Festival, also known as La Folle d’Avoût, brings the French Festival and the Fête du Jèrriais into a wider programme of events. A weekend of celebrations commemorating the major legislative reform that transformed society in Jersey.

The Corn Riots : A history from Jersey Heritage

RISING FOOD PRICES

In 1767, people protested about the export of grain from the Island. Anonymous threats were made against shipowners and a law was passed the following year to keep corn in Jersey. In August 1769 the States of Jersey repealed this law, claiming that crops in the Island were plentiful. There was suspicion that this was a ploy to raise the price of wheat, which would be beneficial to the rich, many of whom had ‘rentes’ owed to them on properties that were payable in wheat. As major landowners, the Lemprière family stood to profit hugely.

ACTS OF RESISTANCE

In the summer of 1769, a ship loaded with corn for export was raided by a group of women who demanded that the sailors unload their cargo and sell it in the Island.

THE CORN RIOTS

On Thursday 28 September 1769, a Court called the Assize d’Héritage was sitting, hearing cases relating to property disputes. The Lieutenant Bailiff, Charles Lemprière, sat as the Head of the Court. Meanwhile, a group of disgruntled individuals from Trinity,

St. Martin, St. John, St. Lawrence and St. Saviour marched towards Town where their numbers were swelled by residents of St. Helier. The group was met at the door of the Royal Court and was urged to disperse and send its demands in a more respectful manner. However, the crowd forced its way into the Court Room armed with clubs and sticks. Inside, they ordered that their demands be written down in the Court book.

THE AFTERMATH

In the days following the riot there was relative peace in the Island. On Saturday the demands were published in the Public Market, and on Sunday they were proclaimed in the majority of the parishes. On Sunday evening, however, the Lieutenant Bailiff and the Jurats fled to Elizabeth Castle for safety. Perhaps there was a threat received, or they thought it would look good politically if they seemed to be in danger.

LAW AND ORDER

Colonel Rudolph Bentinck, a Dutchman, was sent to the Island with five companies of soldiers in order to bring peace after the Corn Riots and to start an investigation.

He discovered that the situation was not as serious as had been reported but immediate changes were still put in place. It was once again made illegal to export crops and a committee was set up to examine the distribution of grain. In 1770 Bentinck was named Lieutenant-Governor which gave him even more authority.

THE CODE OF LAWS OF 1771

In September 1770, Bentinck declared that a set of rules and regulations be written down to make the Law as fair as possible. The aim was that everyone ‘…be no more obliged to Live in a continual dread of

becoming liable to punishments, for disobeying Laws it was morally impossible for them to have the least knowledge of.’

Bentinck’s Code was introduced in 1771 and clearly laid down the Laws of the Island. It also divided the power to make the laws and enforce the laws between the States of Jersey and the Royal Court. Charles Lemprière remained as Lieutenant Bailiff but he had lost his monopoly on power.

The Corn Riots had started Jersey on the road to reform and a fairer society.

LIBERATION ROUTE EUROPE

The LRE Foundation, Visit Jersey and Jersey Heritage are excited to announce a new addition to Liberation Route Europe, the Forced Workers Trail, located on the island of Jersey. The trail introduces visitors to 20 locations linked to the experiences of forced foreign labourers to the island during the Second World War.

The Channel Islands (that includes Guernsey and Jersey) were the only region of the British Isles to be occupied by German Forces during the Second World War. The island’s occupation lasted for five years, from 1 July 1940 until its Liberation on 9 May 1945. Starting in the autumn of 1941, German occupational forces brought 6000 foreign workers, both men and women, to the island to work as forced labour on the construction of concrete German fortifications, part of the larger Atlantic Wall. These actions took place under the Organisation Todt (OT), the civil and military engineering

organisation responsible for engineering projects in Nazi-occupied Europe during World War II.

Whilst these workers originated from many different countries, their treatment varied. Labourers from Western Europe and North Africa were conscripted as paid labourers. While Eastern Europeans, such as Vasily Marempolsky, were used as slave labour and were often treated with brutality. In some cases, the islanders, such as Lucy Schwob and Suzanne Malherbe, put their lives and livelihoods in great peril to shelter escaped labourers.

Together, Jersey Heritage, Visit Jersey, and the LRE Foundation have worked to create a new thematic route, the ‘Forced Workers Trail in Jersey’, as part of the Liberation Route Europe to connect the historic locations across the island and tell these moving personal stories. This project will promote the preservation and appreciation of Jersey’s heritage, making it accessible to visitors to the area and ensuring that the island’s story is passed on for many generations to come.

BEACHLIFE

No matter how you spend your time on Jersey, you’ll no doubt want to feel either the sand between your toes or breathe in the fresh sea air as you explore our beaches and coves. They each have their own unique personality. Choose the one that’s right for you...

Anne Port NE

A quiet and rarely crowded east-facing stretch of sand that catches the morning and midday sun. 2

Bouley Bay N

A winding hill leads down to this steep pebble beach with deep water for competent swimmers. The bay is home to one of Jersey’s scuba-diving schools. 4

Archirondel NE

This popular beach with an excellent beach cafe is pebbly at first but sandy at low tide when the water stays shallow for some way out. East-facing, Archirondel loses the sun in the late afternoon. 2

Green Island SE

A locals’ favourite, this sheltered south-facing beach is a real sun trap where soft sand, rock climbing and rock pool adventures await. The tide goes out a long way, so take care with the swift incoming tide and pick times close to high water to enjoy swimming or paddling. 1

Grève de Lecq NW

The most popular of the north coast beaches, Grève de Lecq’s sheltered sands and rockpools are ideal for families but lose the sun in late afternoon. Don’t miss the excellent cafés and local pubs close by. 9

A real suntrap on the south coast, once you’ve trekked down the steep path from the car park and crossed the pebbles, you’ll reach a sheltered south-facing beach with golden sand and shallow turquoise water, ideal for swimming. 12a, 14 to St. Brelade’s Bay, then walk along the cliffs

Ouaisné Bay SW

This south west facing beach is the wilder contrast to the adjoining St. Brelade’s Bay. The beaches are connected at low tide, or cross the pine-rich headland and walk along the sea wall next to the protected Ouaisné Common towards locals’ favourite, The Smugglers Inn. 12a

Rozel Bay NE

A small fishing village lined with beach huts and harbourside cottages, Rozel is more of a fishing harbour than a place to swim. But at low tide, Rozel’s small stretch of white sand is safe for children to play on, just look out for the Rozel geese! 3

Havre des Pas S

Close to the centre of St. Helier, this sandy beach is worth a visit to see the architecture of the art deco pool, filled by the tide each day. The beach is easy to access, and safe for swimmers. 1

St. Aubin’s Bay SW

A crescent of south-facing sand from St. Helier to St. Aubin, the beach is in full sun for most of the day. With several beach cafes along the promenade front, look out for the softest sand around the Gunsite Café with jet ski hire close by. 12a, 14, 15

Plémont NW

A pristine sandy cove reachable by a long flight of steps, where the intrepid are rewarded with a stunning natural playground of rock pools, sea caves and an excellent beach café perched on the cliffs. There’s safe swimming when the sea is calm, and surfing when its wilder, and the beach is completely covered at high tide. It’s quite a walk down from the bus stop so pack sensible footwear! 8

St. Brelade’s Bay SW

The beautiful beach at St. Brelade’s Bay is one of the island’s busiest; a visitor favourite for its soft sand, safe swimming, beach activities and seaside eating. Voted as number three in the TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice awards, this stunning south-facing beach is in the sun for most of the day. 12a, 14

Portelet Bay SW

Climb down the long flight of steps and you’ll be rewarded with a sunny, sheltered and sandy beach circling Janvrin’s Tomb at the centre. Portelet Bay Beach Café serves excellent pizza throughout the season, and the pub at the top of the steps, the Old Portelet Inn is a family favourite. 12a

St. Ouen’s Bay W

A magnificent beach and natural playground for surfers and adrenaline seekers. It’s where one of the oldest surfing clubs in Europe has its home and makes a stunning setting for beach walks. Swimmers should take care in the strong currents and stick to the flagged zones. The beach is patrolled by RNLI lifeguards during the season. 22

Autumn

activities FOR THE FAMILY

If you’re visiting Jersey with the family you’ll be spoilt for choice with activities from all the activity providers mentioned over the previous few pages but there are also a few extra activities that your kids will particularly enjoy (and you too!). Many venues organise also events over half term but we don’t have full details at time of press. Be sure to give the attractions a call if you’re visiting then and ask!

Jump in some puddles

If the weather is wet, but you like to make a splash, head for the woods. Our favourite is St Catherine’s Woods, a winding route that takes you along a great sheltered pathway next to the water. Pick a good stick, slide down a bank and, if you’re lucky, someone will have installed the rope swing for some extra ‘wheeeee’.

See page 83.

Hide in a castle!

Our castles are fun for all and kids of all ages will love playing knights and princesses. If you head to Mont Orgueil Castle, your little ones can get fully immersed and style themselves as royalty of old with the help of the free dressing-up room. There’s also a little play park within the battlements.

See page 79.

If the weather isn’t perfect, you can also immerse yourselves in one of the below, all of which are undercover. Pit your wits against the challenge of an escape room, head up to the brilliant Jump Jersey, where kids can trampoline and climb, or learn about all things nautical!

aMaizin! Adventure Park

Fun for all, indoor and outdoor

Once based around a huge maze of maize, this venue has now expanded into a full-blown children’s fun park, complete with petting zoo. There’s a sizable indoor play area too (with a café) where your little ones can run wild with the comfort of some great padding. They often hold Halloween events.

See page 71.

Jump Jersey

Tire out those energetic legs! Jump Jersey is an indoor trampoline park based at Les Ormes, Jersey’s holiday village. Within the former indoor football facility, you can now find a world of bouncing wonder with trampolines, Gladiator-style challenges and climbing walls. Suitable for all ages and complete with cafe for parents who aren’t feeling their trampoline legs.

See page 66.

Maritime Museum

Interactive fun of a nautical nature Based (as you would hope) near to the harbour, the Maritime Museum is a fun and educational morning or afternoon out with all manner of seafaring-baed entertainment. Learn about wave motion, pirates, knots and more. It’s a great insight into Jersey’s nautical past!

See page 70.

The Escape Rooms at The Jersey War Tunnels

Set during the German Occupation of Jersey, the Escape Room sees groups of four to ten people raid the German Commandant’s Office and use their intelligence, sleuthing skills and teamwork to escape. Teams have 50 minutes to solve clues, decipher puzzles and unlock chests, which reveal the code to unlock the door.

A pedal/power route.

Take an ebike or one of our EVie bikes for a whirl.

If you fancy a ride around the island at a leisurely pace, there are several providers that will hire you an electric bike. Alternatively, you can use our EVie bikes; just download the EVie app, reserve your bike then pick it up from various locations around the island, including centrally in St. Helier, just opposite the Liberation Bus Station.

Hit the road heading west in search of La Corbière Lighthouse. On your way you’ll pass Elizabeth Castle, you can’t miss it, it’s the one out at sea – quite the architectural feat! You can’t cycle across the causeway, but if you did want to visit, you can park your bike up and pop into the castle kiosk to find out how. Alternatively enjoy the spectacular castle view as you cycle along the promenade that’ll lead you all the way into St. Aubin’s Village.

Once you’ve arrived in St. Aubin’s Village, you’ll discover lots of eateries, some shops, a gallery, and a raft of resident ducks. Stay a while and soak up the bustling harbour vibe – or continue on your way and join the cycle path, an old railway track, which is your one stop path all the way to the lighthouse.

Faulkner Fisheries

JERSEY

4. Plémont Bay waterfall

Descend onto this north coast beach at low water and you’ll discover not only a truly beautiful golden sandy bay, but also ‘THE’ waterfall located in a naturally formed saltwater cave! It’s mesmerising watching the freshwater trickle down the smooth stones, washed twice daily by the incoming tide. It’s quite the climb back up, but you can choose to reward yourself in the café at the top, which is open for most of the year.

1. La Corbière Lighthouse

This nautical feat at the south westerly point of Jersey has been guarding this treacherous stretch of coast for centuries. The name means ‘a place where crows gather’, quite fitting really, as this is definitely a place where people come to gather, to watch the rise and fall of the tide, and enjoy a low water walk out to the base of the lighthouse. Park up and enjoy spending some time exploring here, or breeze pass and watch the towering white lighthouse disappear as you continue along the coastline.

2. Pit stop at La Corbière Phare

Prop up your EVie bike along side the other bikes, that are frequently seen at this popular refuelling station. For a total sugar rush, turbo charged, opt for the Hot Chocolate with whipped cream.

3. Grosnez

Cycling from one side of St. Ouen’s Bay to the other you’ll leave behind the nautical landmark of La Corbière and climb the steep hill of L’Etacq to beautiful views across St. Ouen’s Bay and the green lane that’ll lead you to Grosnez Castle. A spectacular ruin with enviable 360-degree views.

5. Faulkner Fisheries

A bunker that functions as a vivier. Before you finish your day, why not drop back down into St. Ouen’s Bay to pick up some fresh seafood to cook up at dinner. This striking whitewashed building situated on the most north westerly point of St. Ouen’s Bay operates as a fishery, housing the catch of the day from the many local fisherman that supply the family run business. In the summer months, there’s a chance you’ll smell it before you see it, as you cycle towards the scent of garlic drenched seafood sizzling on the BBQ, open to the public in the warmer months of the year. Any other time of year you can buy seafood here and prep your very own seafood banquet – fill your basket up with your very own local catch up the day!

Words | Sara Felton

On an island that is only nine miles by five, it always astounds me just how many incredible dining options we have, whatever the time of day. Here are just a handful of places to see you through breakfast, lunch and dinner during your visit this season.

BREAKFAST

Breakfast is not only the most important meal of the day but also my favourite. Which means that I feel pretty confident I know of some of the best spots for breakfast, or brunching, on our little isle. Starting in St. Helier, there’s been quite the explosion of excellent brunch spots of late, Locke’s being just one of them. Here you’ll find excellent coffee and a small but mighty menu with dishes inspired by, and changing with, the seasons. They’re also quite the purveyor of excellently titled dishes too, Avo Good Day and the Notorious BLT being just two of their permanent fixtures.

Dandy have not one but two locations serving AllPress coffee and delectable food. Their chef bakes a plethora of tasty treats every day, including his own sourdough which you can have topped with almost

anything. Be sure to grab a slab of their banana bread (toasted and buttered!) or a brownie and if you head to their Colomberie location on a Saturday ask for the Dirty Eggs, you won’t be disappointed! The only downside to the townie locations is they don’t open on Sundays, but this gives you the perfect excuse to hunt for a table with a view. Why not head over to Grève de Lecq, here you’ll find a multitude of places where you can enjoy food for most of the day, but my favourite has to be Colleen’s Café for their full English, delightful. It wouldn’t be a trip to the island without a visit to the Hungry Man in Rozel Bay, this brightly coloured beach hut is the perfect spot for an al fresco bacon butty or if you’re brave try the Double Decker Healthwrecker.

LUNCH

If you’re heading to St. Ouen’s Bay then a drive along the Five Mile Road offers up three options; Le Braye, El Tico or Sands all have excellent views of the bay and great menus full of foodie delights. They serve food throughout the day too so why stop at just lunch! Nude Food Beach has an excellent menu of wholesome food and fantastic views of St. Aubin’s Bay, open for breakfast and lunch daily and dinner too Wednesday - Saturday. One more westie must-visit is Off the Rails on the cycle track to La Corbière, serving Wednesday to Sunday with an excellent tapas and pizza menu with a strong wine list.

Combining luxury dining with breath-taking views, Ocean Restaurant showcases the innovative modern cuisine of Executive Chef, Will Holland, featuring the very best of Jersey’s world class produce.

DINNER

Your choices for dinner are almost endless. Head out east to Gorey where amongst the countless dining options you’ll find Sumas and their all-weather balcony which offers you sweeping vistas of the castle and superb food. St. Aubin has an abundance of restaurants too, many of them along the Bulwarks overlooking the boats in the harbour. The Anchor Club offers up slightly more formal dining and the Seafish Café, where you can enjoy excellent fish and chips right beside the water.

St. Helier is home to several fantastic fine dining restaurants. Try Samphire, where you’ll find a menu full of island influences and the best Côte de Beouf you’re likely to try, ever (in my opinion). Or head to Bohemia where I dare you to choose their sixcourse Michelin-starred surprise dinner menu, which changes daily and is available Monday to Thursday, it promises to tantalise your taste buds and delight your senses.

Another favourite has to be No. 10 Restaurant, squirreled away on Bond Street which has a menu that is full of local ingredients and dishes that are influenced by the chef’s travels. The restaurant’s chef was a finalist on The Great British Menu. All three of these town-based restaurants also have excellent bars should you wish to have an aperitif before you dine.

For something a little outside the box, for every occasion, Samphire is a one of a kind venue for a private event in their private bars, choice of two terraces, or exclusively in the restaurant.

Our unique European flavour

Jersey’s community has been strengthened by the diversity of people that have moved to Jersey to work and settled long-term. It’s not unusual to get a cab from the airport driven by a Scot or Mancunian who came in the 80’s and never made it back to the North, but once you’re wandering the streets of St. Helier you’ll notice other flavours of influence.

You will you witness Portuguese flags in many areas and it’s not unusual in certain areas

to chance upon a café or restaurant where Portuguese is the predominant language in the air. The Jersey Portuguese community has developed over three generations on-island and continues to bring a unique atmosphere to certain corners of the island.

If you’re planning on experiencing ‘local’ Jersey culture, you should definitely include a trip to a Portuguese café or restaurant for a Pastel de Nata or Espetada. Here are some to consider checking out.

The RAMP area.

If you wander the Roads Around Minden Place, you’ll find several venues that offer our Jersey Portugeuse flavour. Get yourself some bacalau, espetadas, milho and soak up the atmosphere.

De Porto

Up the steps in the corner of Minden Street is a characterful and hospitable restaurant with great espetadas and friendly staff. One of our favourites.

Minden Street MINDEN PLACE

Shake up your nights.

In recent years Jersey nightlife has changed, from the preeminent larger venues that characterised pre-lockdown ‘big’ nights out to a wider selection of more intimate venues that fill fast and pour more slowly. These speak-easy inspired bars provide a perfect, characterful evening if you’re looking for something a bit more than a pub crawl.

The Weighbridge is a good place to start. The dominant Royal Yacht Hotel has a variety of different drinking options available, whether it be outside sipping wine in their large al fresco area, squirrelled away in the Cabin bar (the last remaining part of the original historic building) or dancing the night away in their ‘Drift’ bar, there is something for everyone. Just over the road, The Square offers excellent food options and you can also drink there until 01:00am. Across the cobbles of the Weighbridge, Ce Soir offers cocktails, table service and an in-house DJ with a more club-style atmosphere and upstairs gin bar. In the summer their alfresco area is good for people watching. Just up the road from the Weighbridge square on Hill Street is the expansive Chambers, which underwent a mulimillion pound refurb in 2019 and offers live music; a fusion of pub culture and bar atmosphere.

The Royal Yacht

If you fancy your nightlife a little more intimate. Tucked away behind Chambers is The Blind Pig, hidden down a back alley just around the corner (you can also get there through a little hidden door at the back of Chambers itself). One of our original speak-easy bars, it specialises in cocktails in a small but beautifully appointed room. Just a few turns away on Wharf Street, this year sees the addition of The Porter’s Store, which channels a 70s Americana vibe into its cocktail den.

Just one more right turn, on Broad Street, you’ll find Vinifera, worth investigating for an early evening glass of wine from one of the island’s most experienced owner-sommeliers. They also offer a private table in the basement, bookable for groups to take wine with delicious food.

If it’s wine time, you should carry on across town where you’ll find the newly opened The Watchmaker, a chic ‘wine, Champagne and charcutie’ bar. A stone’s throw away down a cobbled backalley is the clandestine Project 52, Once you’ve found the location you need to look for the buzzer and ring for entry. Open 17:00 - 23:00 from Wednesday to Saturday you can expect excellently blended cocktails, craft beers and a superb selection of gins and a nifty wine list too for a cosy affair of an evening.

If you’re looking for some pre-dinner drinks, the roof terrace at The Don is a sophisticated beauty above one of Jersey’s quality restaurants, Samphire. The roof garden provides the perfect oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the high street, where guests can sit and enjoy a drink when the weather is fine and enjoy wine by the glass, or one of their excellent seasonally changing cocktails. If you like the vibe of a premium hotel bar then don’t miss the cool calm of the Bohemia Bar and Roof Terrace at The Club Hotel and Spa on Green Street. The timeless elegance of the bar is matched by a cool calm, great drinks and the chance to be on-hand for dinner at our fabulous Michelin-starred restaurant.

The GST Refund Scheme

Would you like to save even more on your jewellery and watch purchases while you’re in Jersey? Jeff Chinn from Hettich Jewellers explains how the GST Visitor Refund Scheme could benefit your visit, with a refund of Jersey’s 5% Goods and Services Tax in addition to Jersey’s VATfree prices.

If you want to take advantage of the GST refund scheme, which is available to visitors leaving the island by scheduled flights or ferries, and spending a total of £300 or more, then ensure you are buying from a participating retailer.

It's not compulsory for retailers to opt in, so ask before you buy. Once purchasing from a participating retailer, the process is simple. Fill out a simple form in store, have it stamped at the airport or ferry port when you leave, and send the form back to the retailer for a refund, less a small administration fee.

To find out if you are eligible, visit Hettich or look on the Jersey www.gov.je website.

THE PROCESS

YOU MUST GIVE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION TO THE RETAILER:

> Your passport or a form of identification

> Details of your arrival and departure flights and dates

> Your name and address

HOW TO CLAIM A REFUND

Once you are back in your country of residence, and within two months of your departure date from Jersey, you should return the retailer's copy of the stamped form to the retailer.

After receiving your form, the retailer must process your refund within three months of your departure date.

The retailer may charge an administration fee to process your form, but they should tell you this when you buy your goods.
