SPLAT ATTACK
Convince a brave volunteer (mum, dad, sibling or unsuspecting helper) to pop their head through the hole… right into the mouth of the pink octopus or yellow fish!

Then it’s your turn: grab those wet sponges and let the soaking begin.

LANDLUBBER’S LABYRINTH
It’s big, it’s wobbly — and it might just take two of you to master it! Place the ball at the starting point and rock and tilt your way through the maze, dodging sneaky traps and tricky turns as you go.

SEA DOG SPRINT
Ready, aim… squirt! Use your water pistol to blast your boat along its lane — no hands allowed. Make sure it’s filled and primed before the race and try not to soak the spectators (unless they deserve it).

SEAFARER’S SNARE
Use the ropes to guide your ball along your chosen coloured path to the last hole — but watch out for the holes along the way! Race a friend or go solo: either way, it’s a test of concentration and steady hands.

LIGHTHOUSE HOOPLA
Three lighthouses stand tall… can you land your hoops on them? Aim for at least one — or go for glory and get a hoop on all three!

Big hoops for little people, little hoops for big ones — fair’s fair!

Come and try sailing with the Guernsey Sailing Trust’s dryland simulator! Children can get a taste of life at the helm, no water required. Sailing is a brilliant way to build confidence, teamwork and problem-solving skills, and the Trust’s friendly team will be on hand to guide young sailors through the basics.

Our mini halfpipe will be setup, with skateboards and helmets available to borrow. Everyone is welcome to come down and have a skate – and if you’ve never skated before, a skateboard instructor will be there to help you get started.

Free to join, just turn up and have a go.

For little ones to discover the fun of balance bikes in a safe and controlled setting. Hosted by the Health Improvement Commission, all bikes and helmets are provided, so children can simply hop on and enjoy. As they steer, push and glide, they build confidence and coordination as they go!

5+ minimum height: 95 cm

It’s not a scooter, not a bike, not a skateboard, it’s in a class of its own. Come and try one out, once you wiggle, you won’t want to stop!

A height gauge will be in place. Please check before queuing to avoid disappointment.

Timed laps, stopwatches, leader boards, plus medals and rosettes for the winners.

Huge thanks to the Health Improvement Commission and Wheels + Co!

Guernsey Swim All Seasons is a much-loved local community of sea swimmers who enjoy sociable swims around the island all year. Members are warmly invited to take part on the day and, for a bit of fun, to wear their finest ‘fancy hats’.

These will be judged, with prizes awarded to the winners.

Teams race around a course marked out by four larger-than-life pirate mannequins, tackling a series of swashbuckling challenges along the way. On land, competitors must wriggle under a cargo net, crawl through a barrel, walk the plank and scale a cannon. In the shallows they make a splashy dash to collect a rubber duck, all with a swag bag in hand.

Who’ll be the fastest crew on the coast? Come cheer them on and find out!

(NB This race does not involve swimming, just possibly splashing ankle deep through the shallows!)

We’ll sort team sizes and heats on the day to suit the numbers — plenty of kids means plenty of fun, and we’ll make sure everyone gets a go!
