Thank you to Rosemary Farish for sending in this lovely photo of her parents Joyce Torode and Ivan Snow.

Following the success of last year’s Liberation Day, where the focus was on community-based events throughout the island’s parishes, the Committee for Education, Sport & Culture has supported plans to continue this approach going forward.

Islanders living in Guernsey care homes will receive a free afternoon tea hamper, gifted from the States of Guernsey and sponsored by Guernsey Post, to enjoy this Liberation Day.

Five hundred free crafts packs will be available to children in Guernsey to help celebrate Liberation Day this year. 

Liberation Day organisers have released the route for the island-wide Cavalcade which will visit all ten parishes in Guernsey on Sunday May 9th.

It’s time to decorate to liberate

Last year, we asked you to get your bunting and flags out early ahead of Liberation Day and you didn’t let us down.

This year, we are asking the same, with the return of Decorate to Liberate.

Liberation Day is the most important day in Guernsey's calendar but once again, we will need to celebrate it in a different way this year. While the island is now restriction-free internally, Liberation Day activities in Town will be limited. Instead, there will be a focus on celebrating with family, friends and neighbours within our parish communities.
