GUERNSEY ARTS SUNDAY: CELEBRATING 15 YEARS
Get ready for the 15th annual Arts Sunday, which will be returning this year on the 8th June!
Guernsey Arts invites the community to join in our public celebration of arts and culture, which will bring together visual art, music, dance, poetry, and much, much more. 2025’s theme celebrates an incredible 15 years of bringing the creative communities together.
Arts Sunday is hosted by Guernsey Arts and is supported this year by funding from the Tourism Management Board.
With over 100 stalls taking part in the day, the Arts Market between Crown and Albert Pier hosts a fantastic mix of stalls, workshops and demonstrations from established and up and coming artisans. It’s a great chance to buy something new, support local creatives or to have a chat about arts and crafts on the Island!
Fan of theatre and music? Be sure to keep an eye on the Guernsey Arts Performance stage as it brings together a wonderful mix of community groups and talented up-and-coming performers!
Additionally, you can watch a vibrant mix of dance groups from across the Island step into the spotlight on our captivating Guernsey Arts Dance stage.
As always, the busking stage will return to the Liberation Monument… Prepare to be wowed by our talented and varied lineup of performers!
You can also enjoy a series of performances, workshops and activities at the Guernsey Arts Hub, located just by the former Guernsey Information Centre.
We can’t wait to see you all there!

The Victor Hugo Trails – A celebration of Guernsey, Victor Hugo’s Island of Inspiration
The Victor Hugo Trails have been launched by the Victor Hugo Centre to allow people to learn more about Hugo and his time in Guernsey!
The two linked trails, sponsored by Moore Stephens, span 8km from the Guernsey Information Centre to Fermain Bay, via La Vallette.
Islanders and tourists are now able to walk in Hugo’s footsteps, following the route around some of his favourite places, now marked by information boards with QR-linked audio files.
Trail stops include Elizabeth College, Victoria Tower, the Commercial Arcade and the Market buildings… All newly built during Hugo’s exile.
The project has involved support from both local individuals and organisations with familiar local voices featuring on the audio recordings.
You can find more information on this exciting project here: vhc.gg/trails
