About this Event

St Helier and the Battle of Jersey

The National Trust Jersey invites you to step back in time and uncover the remarkable events of this historic day as Ian Ronayne leads you on a fascinating guided walk.

On 6 January 1781, a French force landed secretly and seized control of St Helier. In the hours that followed, the fate of Jersey hung in the balance as villains and heroes engaged with words and then weapons. Uncover the remarkable events of this most historic day in the company of historian Ian Ronayne who will lead you around the places they happened, introduce the fascinating characters involved and reveal how Jersey was almost lost to France.

Meeting place: 16 New Street. St Helier
