WHAT’S ON IN NOVEMBER

From wildlife walks and heritage talks to the return of Jersey’s annual farming conference – there are a variety of events happening this November, including a festive celebration at the end of the month…

Wednesday 2 November – Unwelcome Visitors: Jersey’s Enemy During WW1 

In this lunchtime talk from the Société Jersiaise, Ian Ronayne will look at how the unexpected declaration of war in August 1914 presented a significant challenge for one small group of Islanders. Citizens from Germany, Austo-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire living in Jersey were suddenly deemed ‘Enemy Aliens’ and subject to all manner of restrictions, suspicions and harsh treatment. 

Tickets: Free.

Thursday 10 November – The Jersey Farming Conference – ‘Farming Matters’ 

There is no denying that it’s an extremely challenging time for farmers, with many thinking hard about their future in the industry. This year’s conference, more than ever, is the time to bring together the farming industry and government to find out how they see that future looking and to discuss how much farming really matters to the Island. Hosted at La Mare Wine Estate, the conference is open to all businesses and individuals who have an interest in the rural economy. 

Tickets: Free.
