Culture & Leisure
Welcome to the Culture and Leisure section of the States of Guernsey website. We hope to offer you a comprehensive listing of services and information relating to the Island.
The mandate of Culture and Leisure is incredibly wide-ranging, and covers everything from playing and watching sports, to enjoying historical exhibitions and lectures, learning about Guernsey French, attending vibrant events, learning about what is going on in the Island, and taking part in the Channel Island's Lottery!
Please use the menu on the left to navigate your way through the site and find out more about the Department's functions, services and facilities. You will also find a number of external links which will take you directly to related websites, and lots of dowloadable documents which will hopefully add to your enjoyment and the general usability of the site.
Feel free to make this site one of your 'favourites' - new information will be added on a regular basis, so keep checking back.
Latest News - Government Business Plan
The Government Business Plan is due to be debated by the States on 25th July 2007 (featured in Billet D'Etat XVIII), and this features 'Operational Plans' by all of the Departments within the States of Guernsey.
These Operational Plans are intended to inform the public about the objectives and aims of each of the Departments, how they spend public money, how many staff are employed etc.
The Culture and Leisure Department's Operational Plan is attached in the downloads column on the right of this page - please feel free to view or download, and let us know what you think!
Latest News - Cultural Strategy
The link in the right hand column of this page allows you to view and download a copy of the Department's Cultural Strategy, which outlines how it wishes to progress in the next five years. This Strategy refers to the Department's Achievements Document 2006, which is also available for downloading.
The Cultural Strategy is linked in to the Government Business Plan, but offers more depth and detail than the Operational Plan.
