Diane Postlethwaite

Your story, our history – 125 years seen through a Jersey Evening Post lens

Diane Postlethwaite is delighted to be exhibiting in the Link Gallery at Jersey Museum at the age of 82. The title of her exhibition is a reflection of the artist’s constant love of nature. Diane feels very privileged and fortunate to have always had a garden in which to work and relax during her lifetime. Now, with unfortunately failing eyesight, this is a wonderful opportunity for her to show her appreciation of its role in life – both in the human stages and in the positive vitality and colour of the garden. Diane wants people to enjoy her exhibition as well as the beauty that manifests itself through flowers and trees.

Time: 10:00 – 17:00 Price: Free of charge Place: Jersey Museum & Art Gallery The Weighbridge, St Helier Tel: 01534 633300 Web: www.jerseyheritage.org DAILY

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. They were an extraordinary couple who lived, loved and worked together for more than 30 years. 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

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 DAILY

Treasure : Uncovering the Hoard 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?

Celtic Coin Hoard

DAILY

70 Years of Liberation 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. But how did the experience of Islanders compare with that of other occupied countries in mainland Europe?

The last Island Games in Jersey was the biggest sporting event held in the British Isles that year, with over 2,000 sportsmen and women from 20 islands competing in 14 different sports. Jersey was already used to hosting international competition, however, the success of the 1997 Island Games not only fired the imagination and enthusiasm of the local population but also the rest of the sporting community, especially the younger members. Jersey has always been an island that has encouraged sports both at home and abroad.

Major sports such as football, netball and rugby have long histories. The Muratti Vase, an annual football competition between Jersey, Guernsey and Alderney, goes back to 1905 while the Siam Cup, which is played between Jersey and Guernsey, is one of the oldest rugby competitions in the world. The aim is that the 2015 Games will build on the legacy of Jersey’s long term involvement in international and Island Games competition through the continued delivery of sustainable grass roots sport in partnership with all 14 sports associations affiliated to International Island Games Association.

Claude Cahun

DAILY

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. They were an extraordinary couple who lived, loved and worked together for more than 30 years. 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.

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.

Treasure : Uncovering the Hoard 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?

70 Years of Liberation 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. But how did the experience of Islanders compare with that of other occupied countries in mainland Europe?

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.

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.

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!

There are 10 Paycards in each book, but you can buy them singly.

Upon arrival at the parking place: Decide how long you intend to stay (remember on-street parking and some car parks are limited to short-stay).

PAYCARDS INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE Calculate the cost from the notice board (on-street parking is 1 Unit per visit). Scratch off five panels – MONTH, DAY, DATE, HOUR AND MINUTE (to next 5 minutes) to show the time of your arrival or the start of the next charging period if parking during a non chargeable period (overnight or Sunday).

When using more than one Paycard it is important to scratch off each one identically.

Display the validated Paycards by placing them face-up on the dashboard so that all the details on each card displayed can be clearly seen from outside the vehicle. You will also find instructions of the reverse of each Paycard.

ISLAND BEACHES Anne Port Bay, North East

Archirondel, North East

Beauport, South West

A team of professional lifeguards patrol key beaches from mid May to the end of September. Look out for the red and yellow flags which indicate the patrolled areas for swimming. Swim within the flags, but note that when a red flag is flying the conditions are dangerous and unsuitable for swimming. Jersey has some of the largest tidal flows in the world so take care when bathing or exploring the seashore. The beach lifeguard team is only too happy to advise swimmers regarding beach safety, please ask.

St Brelade’s Bay has been voted fourth in the top 10 beaches in the UK by Tripadvisor’s Travellers Choice 2015
