The Corn Riots Festival is returning to Jersey's Royal Square, celebrating the 1769 demonstration, which led to major legislative reforms for islanders.
The Corn Riots were a response to skyrocketing grain prices and food shortages that plagued Jersey's inhabitants.
Frustrated by the rising cost of corn and bread, local citizens took to the streets in protest.
They demanded that the government take action to regulate prices and ensure access to affordable food.
Today, it is a celebration of Jersey’s history, language, and creativity.
There is a line-up of local performances, including choirs and bands, live history enactments, and food.
The festival is taking place from midday until 10pm on Saturday 27 September and until 8pm on Sunday 28 September.
