For Trifest International from the 7th May to the 14th May 2022? There's not much time to get yourself sorted if you do want to go. Thankfully there is still room on some ferry sailings but they are filling up fast. As are the hotels on the island. There is a lot to do on Guernsey apart from the Trifest event itinerary.
See the Trifest International site for details about accomodation and the Trifest itinerary. You may also want to go along to one or more of the following.
Suggested Activities:
Bike Show in the Quarry Sunday 8th May 11 am - 4 pm. Bike meet / show at unique, Quarry backdrop c/w nature walk. See the separate information sheet for more details.
Liberation Day - Monday 9th May. Liberation Day is the most important day in Guernsey’s calendar and commemorates the islands’ freedom from the German Occupation during World War II.
There will be celebrations taking place across the island in all ten parishes and a cavalcade of war-time vehicles circling the island. If you would like to head to the Forest parish for a second chance to see The 3 Sixties as well as some great local talent including Matt Bonneville and the Cage Shakers, head for The Mallard complex.
