Our beautiful Christmas shops!

The Museum Christmas Shop at Saumarez Park is open and thriving with visitors enjoying our unique Christmas shop. Putting together the National Trust of Guernsey's Christmas Shops is the highlight of the year for staff and helpers at The Museum Christmas Shop and also The Victorian Christmas Shop (opening Thursday 6th December). Both sites are beautiful heritage restorations which positively sing with Christmas cheer. They are well worth a visit for their unique Christmas characters.

Some like it hot – wild orchids 'Lady's Tresses' thrive in Summer 2018 as they did in 1995

Readers of ‘Guernsey Country Diary’ ­published by the late Nigel Jee in 1997, may be familiar with his reference to ‘Lady’s Tresses’ wild orchids, appearing around the tombstones in St. Peter’s churchyard, during the month of September, in a summer of drought. The reference to Lady’s Tresses was likely written in 1995, when the Island enjoyed warm weather all summer long, with temperatures peaking at the start of August.
