CASTLE CLOSED FOR AIR DISPLAY

Don’t forget, Elizabeth Castle is CLOSED all day tomorrow (9th) and Thursday (10th) for the Jersey International Air Display 2026 practise and display.

The Castle reopens as usual from Friday (11th) for visitors to head over and explore. It will also be hosting our ‘Castle Chase’ relay race at 12.30pm that day, if you fancy cheering on the runners, who are raising money for our charity!

HERITAGE AT THE MARKETS

Our Education team have loved being involved in the popular Jersey Farmers Markets over the summer months.

The markets support local farmers and growers and our team have been there to run activities for families to enjoy as part of our ‘Rural Connections’ programme. The activities included potato digging, a farming heritage trail and wool carding – all designed to help people to connect to Jersey’s rich agricultural heritage.

‘Rural Connections’ focuses on the rural heritage of Jersey, linking the history of farming to sustainable farming and how farming has influenced the landscape, identity, culture and traditions of the Island.

LEAVE A BETTER TOMORROW

Today marks the start of .

Leaving a gift in your Will to Jersey Heritage is a meaningful way to protect the Island’s heritage for future generations. It allows you to make a lasting difference to the places, stories and memories that make unique.

As a charity, we need to do lots of fundraising to help us to continue our work to protect, preserve and promote the Island’s incredible history. Legacy-giving is one way that you can support us with our mission.

A gift in your Will helps to protect the places and memories that make Jersey special, ensuring they continue to inspire generations to come.

TAKE A TOUR – COLD WAR BUNKER

This is Nick – he’s one of our knowledgeable guides for the Cold War Bunker at Springfield, Parish of St Helier.

Both he and our other guide, Paul, worked as Scientific Advisors in the Bunker as part of the ‘Jersey Warning and Monitoring Organisation Team’ in the 1980s, providing local authorities with information about the likely arrival and intensity of any nuclear fallout.

When Nick first became a guide, he was re-entering the Bunker after 30 years and was intrigued to recognise the entries he had made on charts and blackboards so long ago.

To hear from Nick or Paul about their first-hand experience in the Bunker and take a look around this time capsule from the 1980s, join them for a tour. The next one takes place on Thursday, 24 September at 5.30pm.

Tickets cost £16 per person (plus Eventbrite booking fee) and can be bought at www.jerseyheritage.org/visit/whats-on/cold-war-bunker-tour-2/

VIBRANCY AND EXPRESSION

Anyone walking through the Link Gallery at Jersey Museum this month will be greeted by a series of colourful paintings by local artist Julia Coutanche.

Julia loves using colour and this shows in her vibrant and expressive paintings, created in acrylics and mixed media – abstract and figurative images inspired by local landscapes and views, flowers, words and music.

Born in Jersey and trained in London as an illustrator and animator, Julia says drawing is an important part of her creative process and for over 35 years, she has taught adult education classes.

Her exhibition is open daily from 10am to 5pm until 29 September. Entry is FREE.

*You can meet Julia in the Link Gallery from 5pm-7.45pm this evening (4th) and/ or from 2pm-4pm on Sunday, 20 September.
