Jersey Fete de Noue Xmas Bargains

Book a Christmas bargain break at the Modern Hotel Group's Mayfair Hotel in St Helier on Jersey, including ferry crossings, transfers and b&b rooms this December

Jersey's Fete de Noue (which means Christmas Festival in the lovely local language of Jersiais) has been going now for seven years. It's a combination of Christmas fun and arts festival and shows that December is a wonderful time to visit the Channel Islands. People think of them as a summer destination, but their southerly location and the protection of the Bay of St Malo mean they're the warmest and sunniest part of the British Isles.

The Fete de Noue includes lots of fabulous winter entertainment, including winter wonderland walks, a Normandy market, a funfair, moonlight parades, Christmas markets with roast chestnuts and mulled wine, ghoulish walks around historic sites, Christmas carols, gourmet walks, a grand Christmas Concert with the Jersey Symphony Orchestra... the list goes on and on, as does the Festival which runs from 1-24 December.

The Modern Hotels group is offering special Fete de Noue three-night stays from £109 (US$208) per person, or four-night breaks from £129 (US$246) per person. These twin-share prices are valid throughout November and December and include a return ferry crossing from Weymouth or Poole in Dorset, transfers and accommodation with breakfast at the Mayfair Hotel in St Helier.
