From Saturday May 25th until Sunday May 9th you can join one of Guernsey’s fully accredited silver or gold tour guides on a variety of guided walks around Guernsey, Herm and Sark. This year’s festival includes just shy of 50 different tours, 14 of which are brand new for this year. There is something for everyone, with walks ranging from a gentle stroll to a more challenging hike , with some suitable for wheelchair users. After what feels like a very long and wet winter, the festival offers a wonderful opportunity for people to get back out into the fresh air and experience what this beautiful island has to offer. The schedule includes walks with a wide variety of both locations and subject matter and are a fun and interesting way to get out and about and rediscover the Bailiwick. With the 80th Anniversary of D-Day taking place this year you will find some fascinating tours covering World War Two including “The WW2 German Occupation of Sark”, “Fort George: 80 Years Since D-Day”, “My Family at War”, tours of Batterie Mirus, Fort Hommet, The Shrine of the Sacred Heart and more besides! There are tours that celebrate old traditions and folklore, local producers and artists, the stunning coastline and quiet lanes, the flora and fauna and a history that goes back to prehistoric times. There is always something new to learn and hidden treasures to be found. The full schedule is now available on the Visit Guernsey website https://www.visitguernsey.com/experiences/events/spring-walking-festival/. You will find full details of all walks available, their difficulty level, the price, and details of how to contact the guide and to book.

Vale Earth Fair seeks donations for Charity Record Fair & CD Fair

The Vale Earth Fair is hosting the annual charity Record and CD Fair at the Styx Centre, St Peters, on Sunday 29th October from 11am - 4pm, and is looking for donations of records, CDs and other music related items from the public to sell at the event.

“Now the dust has settled from this year’s Vale Earth Fair we are now starting to think about next year”, said one of the organisers, Rob Roussel, “and part of that is raising funds towards the event”. This is the aim of the Record & CD Fair, as the Vale Earth Fair Collective looks to build on its growing popularity with another sell-out festival taking place this summer.

As with previous Record Fairs there will be a wide selection of music on sale – much of it at bargain prices, but also collectable items. All genres are covered from Classical to Hip Hop, Rock to Jazz, Country to New Wave – something for all tastes. As well as records and CDs there will be some music memorabilia on sale too. There will also be live music on offer, along with hot and cold food and refreshments on sale.

The Vale Earth Fair Collective is appealing for unwanted records, tapes, CDs and other music related items to sell at the fair, and any donations would be welcome. Please contact Rob Roussel on 07781 107698 or email rob.roussel@cwgsy.net if you have donations and he will arrange collection if required.

There are already a number of stall holders signed up for the event, including one from Jersey, but there is room for a couple more. If you have your own records or CDs that you would like to sell, please contact Rob. Sellers are charged £10 per table plus £5 per additional table if you need more than one.

The Record & CD Fair takes place Styx Community Centre, St Peters on Sunday 29 October. Doors will open at 11:00am and the Fair will run until 4pm. There is an admission charge of £2, with all money raised going towards the Vale Earth Fair.

Early bird tickets for next year’s Vale Earth Fair, which will take place on Sunday 25th August 2024, will be going on sale next week through the Vale Earth Fair website: www.valeearthfair.org The first run of tickets are available at £20 for adults and £15 for under 18’s, plus £1 booking fee.
