All the fun of the fair is in the east for the Gorey Fete.

The popular summer show features beach games and entertainment - as well as the traditional yard of ale and spaghetti-eating contests.

This year, there is also a silent disco and a kids' fancy dress competition.

Organisers are promising plenty to keep families busy, plus a wide selection of food options to satisfy all tastes.

The community event is organised by St Martin volunteers and sponsored by Jersey Mutual.

Tickets are £3 for children and £7 for over 16s (under 5s are free)

All the money raised goes to charity. The causes being supported in 2024 are All Matters Neurodiverse Jersey, Healing Waves, Diabetes Jersey and the Motor Neurone Disease Association.

The night ends with a fireworks finale.
