How Guernsey used to shop

From 5th August 2026Until 30th September 2026

Our new garden exhibition focuses on retail, trade and shopping in the island. Photographs from are collection are featured in our garden at the top of Candie, and the displays continue inside the Library itself. As always, it is free to visit both the garden and the Library and there is parking on site. At the moment we are awaiting the arrival of the captions for the photographs, so for visitors' convenience we are making available a guide with the captions to download or print:
