Jersey is the crown jewel in the English Channel and the sunniest spot in the British Isles, so where better to celebrate the King’s Coronation bank holiday weekend? You can even make it a double celebration and stay for Liberation Day which falls on 09 May – a significant date in the island’s calendar marking the day Jersey was liberated by British troops after almost five years of occupation by German forces. Raise a glass to the new King, in the most southerly vineyard in the British Isles, explore archaeological sites of global significance and discover unique wildlife on spectacular walks.

Scones on an afternoon tea

Take tea by the sea.

Pinkies at the ready as we sit down to take tea by the sea in Jersey. You’ll discover that we can be terribly refined in our little island and we like to add a certain ‘je ne sais quoi’ to our thoroughly Brit…(ish) pastimes. In Jersey we believe that food is best enjoyed with a sea view and the same goes for afternoon tea. Soak up the sea air at the Somerville Hotel with enviable views across St. Aubin’s Bay or L’Horizon Beach Hotel & Spa and stroll along the award-winning St. Brelade’s Bay while you’re there. If you’re on the go, stop by one of the island’s bakeries like FOUR Artisan Bakery or Vienna Bakery and treat yourself to something sweet. It’s what the King would want after all.

Paintbrushes at the ready.

The King is a keen watercolourist, so visit one of the island’s galleries and immerse yourself in some local art. Or better still, pick up a paintbrush yourself, settle somewhere with a view, and put paint to paper.
