How can the objectives be achieved?
One of Set Sail Trust’s early initiatives was its involvement with the Guernsey History in Action Company, supporting live outdoor performances entitled “LIVING HISTORY” that take place at Castle Cornet, Tuesday – Saturday, from May to September at 2.15 p.m.
In addition, GHIAC hold further performances at Fort Grey and Guernsey Museum & Art Gallery on selected days, during the summer months.
Be entertained by Marius the slave, shipwrecked on the Island in Roman times or meet Lady Margaret – a Tudor Lady on a visit to Castle Cornet.
Find out about Pirates and Privateers and the terrible explosion that destroyed the Castle Keep.
Hear the extraordinary tale of the steam ship ‘Stella’, wrecked off Alderney in 1899 or meet Victorians speaking the local language, Guernsey French.
Hear the tale of the Uncrowned King and the story of a soldier from the besieged garrison during the English Civil War and discover Guernsey’s great hero – James de Saumarez
