Mont Orgueil Castle
Mont Orgueil Castle, or Gorey Castle, has cast its imposing shadow over the beautiful fishing port of Gorey for more than 800 years. One of the finest examples of a medieval fortress in existence, Mont Orgueil is also a symbol of Jersey’s national identity and independent character.

Ghost Stories by Candlelight
This December Jersey Youth Performing Arts (JYPA) bring to life some of Jersey’s most enduring ghost stories, told by candlelight at Mont Orgueil Castle. Telling ghost stories during winter is a hallowed tradition, a folk custom that stretches back centuries, when families would while away the dark nights with tails of spooks and monsters.
