Events in Guernsey

Guernsey, like Jersey, is a floral island – flowers, potatoes and tomatoes are its biggest exports. Throughout the year the island is a riot of colour, which comes to a head with the annual Festival of Flowers.
 
However, a year-round calendar of seasonal events means that, even if you book holidays out-of-season, there’s usually something going on. Between March and November you can enjoy jazz, food, flower and comedy festivals, family entertainment at Castle Cornet and the Victor Hugo International Music Festival. Children will love the boats in the Morlaix Yacht Race and there are many more festivals to enjoy. In addition to this the Beau Sejour Theatre has a packed program.

Where to book package holidays in Guernsey

Guernsey isn’t the place to come if you like huge sprawling resorts. Holidays are typically booked at small holiday centres, boutique hotels or self-catering colleges, at locations overlooking picturesque bays where children can play safety. St Peter Port, St Martins, Grandes Rocques and the Peninsula all have hotels specialising in family package holidays.

Many people book all inclusive holidays at St Peter Port, which boasts a picturesque harbour, Georgian architecture and a distinctly Mediterranean ambience. Castle Cornet, the fish market and Guernsey Museum are popular attractions. Within easy reach are Strawberry Farm and the Little Chapel, which is the smallest church in the world and decorated with sea shells.

Guernsey holidays on the beach

The Guernsey coast has an endless array of beautiful beaches, many of which are uncrowded even in summer. Rocquaine, Vazon and L’Ancresse bays provide acres of sand to chill out on. Perelle, Saints and Fermain Bays offer rock pools and safe swimming, while Cobo Bay is popular with those seeking package holidays. If you book in the L’Eree Bay area, you can enjoy the sunsets over the lighthouse.

We at The Co-operative Travel have cheap holidays in Guernsey available to suit everybody.
