Any dancing queens wanting to sing their hearts out and wiggle their hips without the hassle of a late night are being invited to a 30+ party this weekend.
Every weekend, Express presents a selection of exhibitions, performances, workshops, events and other historic, creative and delicious content to help islanders get their weekly dose of culture.
Here's this week's offering...
Returning to Vittoria in Liberty Wharf this Saturday 20 July is the hugely popular over-30s Day Disco.
From 15:00 to 20:00, a DJ, live performances and games will accompany the musical bangers and there will be prizes for the best fancy dress (you can probably guess the theme!).
Tickets can be booked through Eventbrite HERE.
Returning to St Helier this weekend is the bustling Fete de St Helier, which will run for two days through streets surrounding the Town Hall.
With more stalls than previous years, the event will feature local food and drink, live music and entertainment, fairground rides and a children's fun zone set-up across Parade Gardens, the Cenotaph, York Street, Charing Cross and Broad Street.
Open 11:00 - 21:00 on Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 July, it is free to enter and is expected to be a lot of fun as per previous years.
There will be road closures and parking suspensions to accommodate this event, to view those click here.
To add to the busy atmosphere from the Fête de St Hélier, the much-loved Norman Market returns to the Royal Square for five days.
From 18 July until 22 July, the traders will be serving their usual French fancies from 09:00 to 18:00 - except on Monday 22 when they will close at 17:00.
Visitors can expect stalls selling sausage sandwiches, crêpes, cheese, cider and fruits.
As well as the delicious produce, the Norman Market will also be joined by two musical performances from 'La Mafia Normande', a 'gypsy swing' band from Normandy.
Budding local photographers have the chance to showcase their talents in a photography competition launched by the States Assembly.
Following the theme 'Local Icons', islanders are being asked to capture what it means to them to live in Jersey and what is most important to them about the island. Inspirations can be as varied as historic buildings, landmarks or people.
Entrants will be permitted to enter one of three categories:
Winning entries in each category will receive a £100 voucher and runners-up a £25 voucher.
The winning photographs will then be displayed in the Royal Square during Democracy Week - Monday 23 September - Friday 27 September - and displayed in the States Assembly for a whole year thereafter.
To enter, the digital photo must be sent to statesgreffe@gov.je by 17:00 on Friday 6 September along with other personal details: name, age, parental permission (entrants under 18 only), title of photo and any social media that may be tagged by the States Assembly.
The renowned French choreographer, Jérôme Bel, whose contemporary works have shaped the European dance world significantly since the 1990s, has created a personal account of a life in dance.
The work, which is being premiered in English, focuses on “portraits” of dancers, working across classical ballet, modern dance and ancient dance forms.
Jérôme Bel has been created in collaboration with and will be performed by Terry O’Connor, originally from Jersey, and co-founder of one of the world’s most celebrated experimental contemporary theatre groups, Forced Entertainment.
Performances will start at 19:30 on Friday 19 and Saturday 20 July in an intimate studio at ArtHouse Jersey's Grêve de Lecq Barracks.
Tickets are £18 (plus a booking fee) and can be booked via Eventbrite.
As part of Jersey Arts Centre's continuing children's theatre festival, Playdays, award-winning actor, Jack Stokes, returns to JAC with his brother Joe for a brand new production.
After his "incredible" production of 'JESUS, JANE, MOTHER AND ME?', Jack is joined by his brother Joe as they step back in time and meet their younger selves in their new play, 'Joe & Jack'.
Finding their older selves drifting apart, this new production will explore how meeting your younger self can still hold significance when moving forward in life.
On 19 and 20 July, using a dressing-up box and a Duran Duran featuring soundtrack, the show is aimed at children 10+ and will start at 19:00 on Friday 19 and 14:00 on Saturday 20 for a matinee performance.
