Step back in time to rural Jersey at Hamptonne Country Life Museum, a traditional 15th-century house and farm.
The main buildings are named after past owners – the Langlois, Hamptonne and Syvret families – who lived at Hamptonne between the 15th and 19th centuries. You can explore the different farmhouses and learn about Jersey’s cider-making history in the cider barn, or ‘pressoir’, an industry that forms an intrinsic part of Jersey history, having once shaped the landscape, culture and economy of the Island. Read more about the history of cider making in Jersey.
Walk around the cider apple orchard where you’ll learn about the different apple varieties that make Jersey cider the best of its kind. Feed our resident chickens (food available to purchase) – and there is a children’s play area on the grounds too. The Hamptonne Country Café is open daily, serving warming drinks and snacks.
Explore our exhibition Wild Islands: Through The Lens, where you’ll see 200 images, taken by talented local photographers, printed on large vibrant banners, which capture the incredibly rich biodiversity we have in the Channel Islands.
