Howard Davis Hall opens its doors for just seven weeks

Tuesday, 11 February 2025 12:32

Islanders can visit Howard Davis Hall and admire its unique portraits and memorabilia.

Jersey Property Holdings is reopening the hall to the public for just seven weekends this year.

It will be open to the public from Saturday 15 February until Sunday 23 March 2025, from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm.

Infrastructure Minister Andy Jehan says Howard Davis Hall holds significant historical and cultural value for our island.

"Ensuring its preservation while increasing public access is a key priority.

"I’m pleased to see progress on this work and look forward to seeing the hall brought back into greater use for the community."

Howard Davis Park and Howard Davis Hall were gifted to the people of Jersey by TB Davis in 1939 in memory of his son, who died at the Battle of the Somme in 1916.

Visitors can see his portrait, which Jersey Heritage is restoring, hung in the hall.

The hall was reopened in the summer of 2022, although just a year later a private events company took over to run the space for weddings and parties.
