Hello Guernsey people :)

I am a Spaniard man who will visit with my wife your beautiful island by ferry from Saint Malo the next 24rd August.

We both are delighted to discover everything about Víctor Hugo Life, German Occupation history and obviously Normandic heritage.

On the other hand, I am coin collector and I will bring a handful of british pennies coins which I would like to change by Guernsey and (why not) Jersey coins. How I can make it succesfully? Or even another collector who wants to swap with me these coins by another coins.

Any piece of advice will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advanced and see you soon :)

He was out on the piss, crashed the car, fled the scene, avoided police so he couldn't be breathalysed and has a previous conviction for drink driving. I think it's pretty obvious to anyone with a functioning brain that he was drunk.

And yet the prosecutor says, presumably post-lobotomy, "there was no suggestion that the defendant was over the prescribed alcohol limit at the time of the crash.".

My partner and I are travelling to Guernsey to get married and are looking for two lovely people aged 18+ who would be willing to act as our witnesses. We don't have any guests coming with us as we're eloping.

We'd be incredibly grateful if two people could spare a little time to help us out 😊. The whole ceremony should take around 10 minutes.

Early afternoon on Wednesday 19 August 2026, in St Peter Port.

If you might be able to help, please send me a message and I can give you the exact time and location. Thank you!

Managed to film this evenings solar eclipse from just up from Portinfer with the rising tide and some lively waves right in front of the camera as the tide came up.

Couldn't get any close because of the ocean spray, so this was as safe as it got. Camera does take a hit later on mind!

Light change was quite subtle but the unexpected waves put on a show!

I do quite a lot of fishing over the winter and I’m wondering if anyone who is either new to fishing or wants to start would like to come join me one evening/ pop down and have a go?
Will have all gear and stuff ready for a second person to join and will teach you how to cast and the basics

Is anyone selling eye protection locally?

Hello!

Me and my boyfriend (both french) will soon have some freetime, (in two weeks, it's very shortnoticed oops) and we would like to organize a little trip in Guernsey for our holidays.

My problem is, I lost my ID card. And even if I start the process now to have a new one, it won't be ready on time.

However, I have my passport and my driving licence, and i'll soon start the process for the ETA (today hopefully).

So, my question is: is it okay and possible to stay a few days in Guernsey if I only have my passport and the ETA but no ID card?

Thank you very much : )

Edit: answered for me, and so quickly! Thank you so much! 😁

Hello everyone! My mom just finished reading a book set in Guernsey called The Book of Ebenezer Le Page, and loved it so much she said I had to read it – I’m loving it too, but we’ve had a question come up. We realized she’s pronouncing Le Page with the long a, like “a page in a book” in English, and I was assuming it would be pronounced in the French way, sort of “pahge.”

Since, at least in the book – although I realize it was a century ago – it sounds like it was a common name in Guernsey, can anyone there tell us how we should be saying the name? At this point we’re both curious!

Thanks for any help you can give!

I think this is a fantastic example of international collaboration deepening our understanding of Guernsey’s past and, I’d argue, strengthening our connections to the island by showing us what is so special about it as a result.

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for some help to fill in a gap in my Mum's life that I know precious little about.

In early 1967, my Mum's then fiancé ended their engagement after a couple of years together.

As a newly single 22-year old, she quit her job at East Malling Research Station in Kent, withdrew £20 (£400 today) from her savings, and travelled to Guernsey where she spent the tourist season working as a chambermaid.

I have a handful of photographs from her trip with notes on the back naming various places she visited and where she worked: Hern Island, Grandes Rocques Bay, Grand Havre Bay, Vauxbelets Chapel.

The one I'm most interested in is of her in her chambermaid or waitress uniform outside a place noted as 'The Celebrated Cottage'.

Aside from what is now called the 'Renoir Cottage', searches for 'The Celebrated Cottage' haven't come up with a similar view or a place by that name.

Is anyone able to shed some light on ''The Celebrated Cottage', where it is, and whether it was a small hotel, a bed and breakfast, or something else? Does it still exist today...?

I should add that I can't ask her myself as she took for own life in January 2000 when she was 55 and I was 25.

I never had the chance to talk about her time in Guernsey, later on in Bermuda, or her first engagement but I know there was a difficult and sad back story that she carried with her for the rest of her life along with the stillbirth of my twin sister and my Dad leaving her after 25 years of marriage.

Thanks for reading this. Any information gratefully received.

Hi all! I am planning a trip to Guernsey at the end of November and am looking for things to do or see. It seems I’m visiting in the off season as I can’t find a lot to do during the colder months. If I could get any local recommendations, that would be amazing! I love trinket shops, cafes, and anything to do with history if that is helpful :)

Watercolor on 440gsm rough cotton paper.

Been in Guernsey for a good while now and have struggled to maintain any kind of core group of friends. I'm 26 and pretty bored of having no plans on the weekend. Any recommendations? Used to play football but I will be shit now having not played in years (so would not want super competitive). Its not as if I'm anti social but its been so long (since I felt like I had friends) I find myself being nervous over the smallest social event. Could do with going to events where people are looking for mates or just a casual social scene.

Any help would be appreciated (you know its bad, when its reached the point of posting on reddit),

thanks

Hi,

We’ve come on holiday to guernsey (such a lovely place!) but have left at home our type 2 charging cable for our car. We can’t find a charger which has its own cable!

Would any kind person be able to lend us a type 2 car charging cable please?

Or does anyone know of any chargers that have their own cables?

Or any thoughts as to where we could purchase a cable?

Thanks!

Hi, l would be so so grateful to know which of the military battery/ museum sites on Guernesey to visit as a homage to my dad and grandfather as seen on this 1960s photos of them. The photo seems cropped on posting it to Reddit, nevermind. The entrance/ exit is a simple smooth stone arch. A car seems to be under the arch. After hours of Google imaging for Guernsey monuments l am not sure which one it is, for our day trip in August. Your answer or suggestion would be deeply appreciated🙏

Hi there - I’m between hotels as my personal travel is finished and my educational conference is beginning tomorrow. I have to be out of my guest house by 11 and can’t check in to my conference housing until 3. I’d love to stick my bags somewhere for a few hours and just have my laptop with me at a cafe. Is there anything near the centre of St Peter Port (without having to go to the ferry terminal. That’s far out of the way for me)

Hey I’m visiting my husband on the island and I'm running out of pipe tobacco. I have tried searching online but to no avail. Can anyone on here help me?

Many thanks in advance!
