9AM – SURF'S UP<br />
After breakfast, it’s time to hit the popular west<br />
coast and hone your surfing skills with the Guernsey<br />
Surf School. Or for those wanting to explore the<br />
inlets along the coast and beaches, why not try<br />
kayaking or hiring a stand-up paddle board, or<br />
even try coasteering with Outdoor Guernsey?<br />
GUERNSEY'S MILITARY<br />
HISTORY IS LARGE WITH<br />
COASTAL FORTIFICATIONS<br />
DOTTED ALONG THE<br />
SOUTHERN CLIFFS<br />
NOON – CULTURAL AFTERNOON<br />
The afternoon can be spent visiting one of<br />
Guernsey’s most iconic landmarks – the Little Chapel.<br />
Nestled in a valley in the parish of St Andrew’s, the<br />
chapel built in 1904 is renowned around the world<br />
and its striking décor and charm is always a real talking<br />
point. From here you will be able to take a leisurely<br />
stroll through the green lanes and Ruettes Tranquilles,<br />
before resting your feet at Hotel Fleur du Jardin in<br />
front of a roaring open fire together with a large glass<br />
of red.<br />
3PM – HISTORY LESSON<br />
Guernsey’s military history is large with coastal<br />
fortifications dotted along the southern cliffs, but<br />
enthusiasts should make the German Occupation<br />
Museum a priority stop. Newspaper cuttings and<br />
striking images of Nazi-occupied Guernsey sit<br />
alongside uniforms and unexploded bombs,<br />
providing a fascinating insight into one of the<br />
island’s darkest periods.<br />
7PM – TASTING LOCAL<br />
Tucked inside the luxury four-star Fermain Valley<br />
Hotel, Ocean Bar & Grill prides itself on preparing food<br />
with passion and care using locally and sustainably<br />
sourced produce. Its terrace offers east coast views<br />
of the neighbouring islands, so take it all in while<br />
you enjoy some delicious cocktails and food.<br />
9PM – GRAND FINALE<br />
Why not finish your short-stay with a bang and head<br />
to St James Concert & Assembly Hall? With a central<br />
location in the heart of St Peter Port, the former<br />
church provides Guernsey with a unique and versatile<br />
venue where you find a wide variety of events each<br />
month such as concerts, plays and musicals.<br />
