G&S In Guernsey - Theatrical Adventures

G&S In Guernsey

The Gem of the British Isles · October 16th 2025 - October 19th 2025

We are delighted to announce a fabulous mini-break to the picturesque island of Guernsey, nestled in the Channel Islands. Renowned for its stunning coastline, rich history, and unique blend of British and French influences, Guernsey offers a truly enchanting escape.

We will stay at the delightful Moores Hotel, ideally located in the heart of St Peter Port, the capital, and just minutes from the charming marinas and scenic seafront. Highly recommended, this hotel promises guests a warm welcome, comfortable rooms, and excellent dining.

Guernsey is a treasure trove for history lovers, with its wartime occupation leaving a lasting mark through tunnels and fortifications just waiting to be explored.

Our holiday includes a visit to see HMS Pinafore at The Princess Royal Centre for the Performing Arts. The principal roles will be performed by our National Gilbert & Sullivan Opera Company singers, while a local society will provide the chorus. And, of course, guests will enjoy evening entertainment at the hotel after dinner on two nights.

Rates:

Standard Double/Twin: £850 per person

Stabdard Double for Single Occupancy: £1015
