Overview
Every summer, the enchanting Channel Island of Jersey stages a fabulous floral celebration, the Battle of Flowers, one of the highlights on Jersey’s calendar. The familiar tradition of flower-festooned floats parading through the streets creates a tremendous atmosphere which attracts thousands of visitors each year. On this lovely break, we visit these processions during a day and a night parade and experience a tour of Jersey’s glorious coast.
Itinerary
- Fly to Jersey from your selected airport and join transfer to your hotel
- We enjoy the festive spirit of Jersey’s much-loved Battle of Flowers, as colourful, flower-adorned floats make their way through the streets. The air is filled with the sweet scent of fresh blooms and the cheerful sounds of music and laughter, as locals and visitors alike come together to celebrate this long-standing island tradition. It’s a relaxed, feel-good event that offers a delightful glimpse of Jersey’s community spirit. Island Highlights Tour We take a delightful tour along Jersey’s spectacular coastline. Highlights include St Brelade’s Bay, one of the island’s most popular resort beaches, the rugged north coast overlooking the neighbouring Channel Islands and the famous Corbière lighthouse on the south-west corner of the island. We also visit St Ouen’s Bay with its miles of golden sand and rolling Atlantic waves – a prime spot for surfing, and picturesque Gorey harbour overlooked by Mont Orgueil Castle. Day at Leisure and Night Parade After a day spent exploring the island at leisure, we reconvene in the evening and travel to People's Park to view a static display of floats ahead of a night parade to experience the floral displays in a whole new way. Later we return to our hotel for our final night's stay.
