EVENTS AT THE ROYAL JERSEY SOCIETY

The RJA&HS will be putting on a series of events during the remainder of 2023 and 2024, aimed at members, although non-members are also welcome.

The first event:

Wednesday 18 October, 12-1.30pm

Trinity Manor – Dairy Farm Tour

A walking tour of Trinity Manor Dairy Farm with Farm Manager, Jim Carter.

Find out more about what happens on a dairy farm: learn what cows eat, what they sleep on, how they are milked and everything in between.

Please e-mail louise@royaljersey.co.uk for more information and to book.

Spaces are limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. There will be a waiting list for a future tour, should this become oversubscribed.

There is no cost to members, and non-members will be charged £5 per person.

Please ensure you dress appropriately for the weather and wear sturdy footwear (boot covers will be provided).

Please note that this will be a walking tour around a working farm, so participants will need to be physically mobile. If this presents issues for anyone who wishes to attend, please let Louise know.

Watch this space for future events!
