La fîn du temps f'tha tout vaie - Free Walk

Join Jersey Heritage for La fîn du temps f'tha tout vaie' or 'Time Will Tell' - an immersive experience celebrating the Jèrriais language.

The free walks will take place daily from Monday to Saturday, 5-10 May at 10.30am, except on Liberation Day (9th) when the walk will be at 2pm. Tickets must be booked online via Eventbrite. The ‘Language Room’ at Jersey Museum will open on Monday, 5 May until Saturday, 17 May. Entry to the Museum is free.

La fîn du temps f'tha tout vaie (Time Will Tell) celebrates the Jèrriais language, a vital part of Jersey’s cultural heritage, through an engaging and immersive experience. Explore the streets of St Helier on a guided promenade-style walk, led by a local artist, uncovering the Jèrriais street names, their meanings, and the stories they hold.

Told from the perspective of a Jersey resident forced to leave the Island due to the Occupation, the walks also reflect on broader themes of displacement, cultural identity, and the impact of losing one's native language.

The journey concludes with an optional stop at the “Language Room” in Jersey Museum where visitors can connect with the language through personal stories.
