Set around a picturesque cobbled courtyard, the Museum brings to life the story of Guernsey’s people over the past 250 years, showcasing trades, transport, fashions, and everyday life through captivating displays.
The National Trust of Guernsey Costume Collection is a highlight, offering a unique glimpse into historic textiles and clothing. As the Channel Islands’ only dedicated exhibition of its kind, the collection is a treasure trove of garments and accessories.
On the ground floor, don’t miss the final year of A League of Gentlemen, an exhibition celebrating the courage, patriotism, and resilience of Guernsey men, told through remarkable artefacts and garments. New for 2025, From Cobblestones to Catwalks takes you on a stylish journey through 1970s high street and high-end fashion. This vibrant exhibit features a personal collection of 1970s clothing, lovingly preserved in an attic for decades and rediscovered as a time capsule of the era.
The Museum also boasts a beautifully curated shop, a favourite with both visitors and locals, and hosts year-round art exhibitions by talented local artists at the Art at The Park gallery.
Located less than 15 minutes from St. Peter Port and easily accessible by bus, the Folk and Costume Museum is access-friendly and offers free entry for all visitors. Come and explore the heritage, fashion, and creativity that make Guernsey’s story so special.
