In this week's Art Fix you can take a trip to Wonderland to join Alice in her adventures, journey into Christmases past with Jersey Heritage, or greet some visitors from the Kingdom of Arendelle as Elsa, Anna and Olaf arrive in St Helier...
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...
Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass continues at the Jersey Arts Centre until 22 December. Read our review of the "family-friendly fever dream" show HERE.
Lewis Carroll’s classic stories of Alice’s adventures through the fantastical world of Wonderland are brought to life through music, song and larger-than-life characters. Watch as the Mad Hatter, the Queen of Hearts, the White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat and lots of other much-loved characters appear before your very eyes.
This curious adventure is suitable for the whole family. Tickets can be purchased on the Jersey Arts Centre website.
Elsa, Anna and Olaf will be coming from the Kingdom of Arendelle to Grand Marché in St Helier on Saturday 17 December!
They will be meeting Frozen fans in-store from 9:30 to 12:30.
A full list of the Channel Islands Co-operative's Christmas events can be found on their website, including in-store tastings and festive facepainting.
Head to Hamptonne Country Life Museum this weekend for 'A Traditional Christmas' and meet some larger-than-life characters, who will fill you with the spirit of Christmases past...
Help Olive Syvret in her 1940s kitchen and listen to festive tales from her poor old husband in the comfort of their cosy sitting room. Discover the art of candle dipping in Langlois house and help to make gingerbread in the Bakehouse. Take care in Hamptonne House as that miserly old Ebenezer Scrooge has taken up residence – it's a good job old St Nick will be dropping by to jolly him up a bit!
Full details and timings for 'A Traditional Christmas' can be found on Jersey Heritage's website.
No need to book and usual entry fees apply. FREE to Jersey Heritage Members and children under the age of six. Parking in Hamptonne carpark only.
Local singer-songwriter, Rich Allo, has been celebrating the release of his new Christmas album with a series of live performances in aid of charity.
These live performances continue this weekend and throughout next week.
Rich's new Christmas album is titled 'Dreams of December' and features twelve seasonal songs, including self-penned originals and covers of festive classics.
Hot chocolate and mince pies will be available at the live performances which are free to attend. Donations are in aid of the Jersey Christmas Appeal.
ArtHouse Jersey's final exhibition of 2022 continues at Capital House until 23 December.
Locally-admired artist Ian Rolls' 'Island' exhibition represents the coastal landscape of Jersey that most will be very familiar with and fond of, with Rolls saying he found these locations a stable platform of familiarity and comfort at a time when his own emotional landscape was changing.
'Island' by Ian Rolls is open at Capital House on 8 Church Street between 10:30 and 18:00 Tuesday to Saturday, closing at 17:00 on Sundays. Closed Mondays.

Jersey's first-ever 'Christmas Tree Maze' continues this week at Weighbridge Place.
Walk through hundreds of real Christmas trees with twinkling fairy lights in the enchanted 'Christmas Tree Maze' and find your way to Santa's workshop. Some naughty elves have escaped from the workshop and Mr & Mrs Santa Claus would love some help finding them! The fun doesn't stop when you finish the maze as the naughty elf has hidden some trees around the town centre with only a map and some festive clues to help you find them.
Refreshments will also be available. Tickets can be booked via Eventbrite.
