Those who wish to make the most of the fine summer weather may wish to consider a ferry trip to the beautiful island of Jersey in the Channel Islands. For anyone looking for an affordable way to escape the busy mainland, Jersey offers a peaceful atmosphere, as well as an abundance of activities for all age ranges.

Fans of music may be looking at one of the busy, mainland music festivals this summer, but this coming weekend, 31st July, Jersey is to stage the Grass Roots Music Festival. Headlining the festival are the widely followed Fun Lovin’ Criminals, as well as an array of new talent to enjoy. Musical enthusiasts can hop on a ferry to Jersey from any of the ports outlined below and enjoy a fine weekend of music in beautiful surroundings that are unlikely to be found on the mainland.

In addition to this highly recommended festival, Jersey is staging a number of diverse events this summer, catering for all tastes. Understandably, it is a highly popular destination for ferry companies operating out of the south coast. Condor Ferries provide a reliable crossing from Portsmouth, Poole and Weymouth, all for an affordable price. Ferries to the Channel Islands offer a great alternative to the stress and cost of long haul flights.
