As the island bursts into a kaleidoscope of colour, spring sunshine and mild weather make this an ideal time to step out and discover one of the many walking routes. The island's shores also start brimming with seafood and the famous locally sourced crab comes into season.
Liberation Day, May 9th 2025 marks 80 years since the Channel Island’s liberation from German occupation. Celebrating the anniversary a year later than D-Day in the UK, the islands mark the occasion with parades, reenactments, motorcades and exhibitions that bring history to life. Walk through streets with period vehicles, see a uniformed parade, enjoy live music and more. If you're unable to visit in May you can still learn about the islanders stories and take part in the celebrations by visiting the German Military Underground Hospital or the fortifications dotted around the coastline. Visit Liberation 80 to learn more.
Liberation Coach Tours are available Tuesdays from 6th May, where a driver guide will take you to fortifications on the island and tell you tales of the occupation as recounted by local families.
