During the coming weekend (12th & 13th September), buildings and spaces across the city open their doors to the public free of charge, offering opportunities to explore places that visitors might not normally see.

📜 Hidden in plain sight for centuries
17 fragments of medieval manuscripts, recycled as covers for Guernsey’s administrative notebooks, are transforming our understanding of the island’s literary past.
Working with Guernsey’s Island Archives, Queen’s Fellow in English Professor Tamara Atkin has helped uncover what the fragments reveal about the books read and circulated in medieval Guernsey.
