Wild Workshops

Guernsey Arts, Guernsey Museums and Guernsey Nature Commission have come together to bring a week of WILD workshops based on the Bailiwick Wildlife
Photography Exhibition (supported by Mourant).

This half term (Saturday 14 February to Sunday 22 February) the museum will be flooded with trails, workshops and fun activities for all ages to enjoy! We’ll be exploring the deep, taking influence from Bailiwick Wildlife featured photographer Tim Harvey’s work and offering a range of marine workshops and  information, as well as self led activities throughout the week.

All activities have been curated around the two temporary exhibitions currently at the Museum, the Natural History Museum’s Wildlife Photographer of the Year in the Brian White Gallery and the Guernsey Arts Bailiwick Wildlife Photography Open, this year sponsored by Mourant.

All drop in workshops, activities and talks are free for Discovery Pass holders and ticket holders (standard admission prices apply).

Jade Kershaw, Community & Public Realm Officer at Guernsey Arts commented: “Guernsey Arts is thrilled to be providing fun and educational activities about the Bailiwick’s Environment this half term. This is all thanks to Mourant’s support of the Bailiwick Wildlife Photography Exhibition. Teaming up with the Nature Commission and Guernsey Museums gives us the opportunity to provide a schedule of varied activities, all with a focus on our nature and environments. We look forward to welcoming curious and creative minds for a fun filled half term”
