From Friday 14 November, the unmistakable sights, scents and sounds of Christmas return to the National Trust of Guernsey’s Christmas Shops — at both The Museum Christmas Shop, Saumarez Park, and The Victorian Christmas Shop, 26 Cornet Street.
Step inside either (or both) and you’ll soon find yourself humming “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…” — surrounded by twinkling displays, carefully sourced gifts, and timeless touches that bring both traditional and stylish Christmases to life.
Here are a few festive dates for your diaries:
