The story

Genuine Jersey Simply Christmas in St Helier

A free Christmas market in St Helier's Royal Square featuring over seventy Genuine Jersey certified producers selling food, drink and craft goods made or grown on the island. Hot food stalls and live local music run alongside the shopping as part of Jersey's wider Christmas Festival programme.

Over seventy Genuine Jersey members set up stalls in St Helier's Royal Square each winter for the Simply Christmas market, a festive event built around the local-produce quality mark that certifies food, drink and craft goods as genuinely made or grown on the island.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Every stallholder must already hold Genuine Jersey certification, a quality mark verified against where and how goods are produced, so the market functions as a curated showcase of island-made food, drink and crafts rather than an open craft fair

02

The mystery stays covered

Because the same producers sell through farm shops and weekly markets year-round, visitors can buy directly from names they would otherwise only recognise from supermarket shelves, making it as much a producer showcase as a seasonal shopping stop
