The Big Guernsey Market

Over the first weekend of the festival, The Big Guernsey Market will be the festival focal point in the capital of St Peter Port featuring stalls from local producers and chefs, such as Haut Maison fruit liqueurs, Fresh Guernsey Herbs, and Torteval Cheese made from the Guernsey Dairy. There will also be what sounds like a fantastic Children’s Food Festival, where little foodies can get hands-on with local produce.
