70 Years of Liberation

Treasure : Uncovering the Hoard

Take a fresh look at the Occupation Tapestry with new interactive touchscreens and audio-visual presentations that draw on the latest academic research about this fascinating part of Jersey’s history. How did people make acts of resistance against the Germans? Who were the victims of Nazi persecution? The Channel Islands hold the unique distinction of being the only part of Britain to be occupied by the Germans. Time: 10:00 – 17:00 Price: Adult £9.15, Senior £8.10, Child/Student £5.75, Family Ticket £26.45, Tapestry Gallery Only £4.50 Place: Occupation Tapestry Gallery, Maritime Museum, New North Quay, St Helier Tel: 01534 633300 Web: www.jerseyheritage.org DAILY

Your story, our history – 125 years seen through a Jersey Evening Post lens The Jersey Evening Post has been a daily read for many Islanders for 125 years. Through their visual storytelling, press photographs can tell remarkable stories, inspire discussion and reminiscence. For much of its history JEP photographers have documented Island life, following the daily activities of Islanders and recording the changing landscape. Echoing the structure of a modern newspaper, this exhibition will show highlights from the hundreds of thousands of photographs which have appeared over the year, from headline stories, news events, community features, entertainment and sport. Time: 10:00 – 17:00 Price: Adult £9.30, Senior £8.25, Child/Student £5.15, Family Ticket £25.75 Place: Jersey Museum & Art Gallery, The Weighbridge, St Helier Tel: 01534 633300 Web: www.jerseyheritage.org

The world’s largest ever Celtic hoard was discovered in Jersey. Visitors to this exhibition will be able to watch conservators at work as they painstakingly take the hoard apart, cleaning and conserving the contents as they go. When it comes to buried wealth Jersey really is a Treasure Island. It has an extraordinary number of buried coin hoards. In comparison, Guernsey has no coin hoards yet discovered, but a wealth of warrior burials. This phenomenon will be investigated in this exhibition. Why did the Celts bury their wealth in Jersey but their dead in Guernsey? Time: 10:00 – 17:00 Price: Adult £9.30, Senior £8.25, Child/Student £5.15, Family Ticket £25.75 Place: Jersey Museum & Art Gallery, The Weighbridge, St Helier Tel: 01534 633300 Web: www.jerseyheritage.org DAILY until 6th SEPTEMBER

Impressions of a Landscape : Daniel Porter (Link Gallery) London-born Daniel G Porter is based in Jersey and works in a studio in Rozel. Throughout his career, Daniel has been strongly influenced by the extraordinary and varied landscapes in which he has lived. Daniel studied Fine Art painting in London before travelling to New Zealand and then Laos – working from a studio on the banks of the Mekong River and drawing inspiration from the stunning landscape and Buddhist traditions and motifs. This resulted in some very expressive abstract work that has influenced his current landscapes, including the Jersey countryside. Time: 10:00 – 17:00 Price: Adult £9.30, Senior £8.25, Free of charge Place: Jersey Museum & Art Gallery, The Weighbridge, St Helier Tel: 01534 633300 Web: www.jerseyheritage.org

DAILY until 6th SEPTEMBER

Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore: A Life Defiant Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore challenged the boundaries of gender and sexual identity, campaigned against tyranny and resisted Nazi occupiers. They created some of the most startlingly original and enigmatic photographic images of the twentieth century. For the first time this exhibition examines their history of defiance, from the forming of their lesbian relationship in the early 1900s, through Cahun’s exploration of her self-image and multiple personalities in conservative post-war France, her anti-Fascists political protest of the 1930s, to the anti-Nazi resistance activities of the 1940s, this exhibition explores Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore: A Life Defiant. Time: 10:00 – 17:00 Price: Adult £9.30, Senior £8.25, Child/Student £5.15, Family Ticket £25.75 Place: Jersey Museum & Art Gallery, The Weighbridge, St Helier Tel: 01534 633300 Web: www.jerseyheritage.org DAILY until 24th OCTOBER Exhibition then moves to the Jersey Museum.

Kiln Formed Glass Art Angela Simoncelli (Link Gallery) Angela Simoncelli studied for a degree in Art and Design at Highlands College through Plymouth University. She feels fortunate to have been introduced to glass by Glyn Burton who taught her over four years, encouraged her and gave her the confidence to eventually invest in her own kiln. Angela set up her own small studio space, taught herself some new techniques and gradually developed her own style. Angela’s big influences are Gustav Klimt, Marc Chagall and Henri Matisse but her new work is about patching together different colours and patterns and reworking geometric designs in a way that is pleasing to her eye. It is also about enjoying the process of the making and allowing herself freedom to play and manipulate the colour and light of this wonderful material.

Experience a real taste of Jersey!


The creation of The Botanic Gardens at Samarès Manor is a response to an ever increasing public interest in gardening and plants. The original gardens at Samarès have been restored with new and imaginative planting schemes. Jersey’s mild climate enables many tender and exotic plants to thrive. A comprehensive programme of plant labelling and multilingual signage ensures that a visit to the gardens is informative and inspirational as well as relaxing and enjoyable.

LEISURE AND INSPIRATION The gardens evoke feelings of tranquillity and peace, whilst being stimulating, interesting and fun. Children will enjoy discovering the willow labyrinth, the jungle path, the playground and large open spaces ideal for family outings. Visitors will discover areas for quiet thought and contemplation, extended walks through beautiful and varied surroundings and the opportunity to appreciate the aesthetics of a garden of distinction.

HERBS AT SAMARES The herb garden at Samarès Manor, which was created in the 1980s by internationally renowned designer, John Brookes, has stimulated interest in growing and using fresh herbs. The garden comprises a vast array of gravelled paths interspersed with large blocks of individual herb species. It is one of the largest and most comprehensive herb gardens in the UK.

GARDEN STYLES AND DESIGNS The gardens are very much a blend of the traditional and the innovative. The Japanese Garden, the camellia plantations and water gardens are legacies of the work of Sir James Knott in the 1920s. Sir James laid the foundations for the botanic gardens of today. Recent developments include gardens which demonstrate seasonality, the use of colour and different planting styles. Jersey’s mild climate enables many tender and exotic plants to thrive. n n n n n

Enjoy Nature La Lande de Ouest Part of the dry coastal heathland lying above the cliffs along the greater part of the south-west coast. A designated Site of Special Interest (SSI) and rich in flora and fauna, this area is an important part of the island’s landscape, and biodiversity. A great area for walking and bird watching.

Le Noir Pré Often known simply as “The Orchid Field”, this unique site actually consists of two distinct but adjoining wet meadows. Le Noir Pré and the smaller Le Clos du Seigneur. The site is one of the last remaining strongholds of the Jersey Orchid or loose-flowered Orchid (Orchis Laxiflora). Orchid flowering season May and June.

St Catherine’s Woods

Also known as Rozel Woods, this woodland is set in a deep-cut, steepsided valley. A stream running through the valley floor has helped develop a wide range of habitats within the woodland.

Les Landes This coastal heathland is the most spectacular aspect of Jersey’s wild environments. Les Landes is Jersey’s largest single expanse of maritime heathland covering 160 hectares and bound by 3 km of high granite cliffs.

Ramsar Sites These are areas listed on the Ramstar List of Westland’s of International Importance which concerns the conservation and wise use of wetlands and their resources. Jersey has four! These magnificent sites are; the southeast coast of Jersey, Les Minquiers, Les Ècréhous, and Les Dirouilles, and Les Pierres de lecq (The Paternosters). These sites are truly unique and worth a visit; however, three of these sites are offshore reefs and require a trip by boat. Check out the “Activities” section of the operators who can take you on a short boat trip to see these sites. The south coast area can be walked around and guided walks are available (contact Jersey Walk Adventures – see “Activities”).

St Catherine’s Woods

Important! If you wish to walk around the area independently please seek advice first as the tide rises rapidly and you can become stranded if unprepared. Knowledge of the tides is essential. Visit Jersey can provide advice if necessary but recommends that you employ a guide. See “Walking” section of this guide.

Les Minquiers & Ecrehous

The Minquiers and Ecréhous are two groups of islands and rocks forming part of the Bailiwick of Jersey, Channel Islands. They are respectively the most southerly and northerly land territories of the Bailiwick. The islands have no permanent inhabitants. Les Minquiers are situated 9 miles south of Jersey and administratively are part of the Parish of Grouville. Les Ecrehous are situated 6 miles north east of Jersey and administratively are part of the Parish of St Martin. For a visit to either of the group of islands it is best to go by RIB as then you can go right on-shore and also on the sand banks that uncover at low tide.

Val de la Mare Arboretum Hidden away in the north west corner of the Island next to Val de la Mare reservoir, is one of Britain’s most unique collection of trees in an arboretum called ‘The Forgotten Forest’. Planted in the late 1970s, seedlings grown from seeds gathered all over the world have progressed into an eclectic collection of mature trees. Divided into zones within the arboretum, North American maples and oaks stand near Australasian eucalyptus trees, interesting flora compliment a majestic wingnut, walnut and hickory zone. Don’t miss a giant Californian redwood specimen or the Japanese zone alongside the conifers and pines. There’s even an ‘Elm Trial Zone’ containing species of the tree which are thought to be resistant to Dutch elm disease.

This unique perspective is achieved without disturbing the waders and waterfowl from doing what they do. The Wetland Centre also provides a visitor-controlled mounted camera to allow an interactive and entirely new aspect on the ponds feathered visitors and residents. A live feed ‘reed bed cam’ also gives visitors a previously unseen insight into the reeds’ occupants such as the Marsh Harrier and the elusive Bittern!
