There’s been plenty going on in Alderney in the run up to Christmas, from late night shopping to Christmas markets.
And there’s still more festivities to come!
The annual boxing day walk, organised by the Alderney Wildlife Trust, returns.
The walk begins at the Victoria Street shop at 14:30. You can find out more information ONLINE.
Visit Alderney says online: “Alderney's volunteer fire service stage the annual 'squirt and dip' at Marais Square – a historic event aimed to test out fire fighting equipment.
“The tradition continues to this day when firefighters arrive with sirens blazing at Marais Square and squirt any child – or adult! - who dares to comes near. The really brave also risk being 'dipped' in the water at the Marais Square trough.”
This year is no different and the festival kicks off at 11:00 in Marais Square.
Another tradition comes back around with the bracing New Year’s Day swim at Braye Beach.
Noon at Braye, followed swiftly by hot drinks in all the nearby restaurants and pubs.
For those looking for a short notice break, most hotels in Alderney offer 10% off to Guernsey visitors at this time of year.
