Last season, more than 5,000 people walked through the gates for the events, and this year the organisers will be hoping for much of the same across the course of four Fridays between 10 and 31 July.
‘There’s something really special about seeing Castle Cornet filled with people enjoying live local music, good food and great company on a summer evening,’ said Russ Fossey, head of arts development at Guernsey Arts.
‘As these are my final few months with Guernsey Arts before I retire, I’m especially looking forward to seeing these events, which give local musicians such a fantastic platform, continue to grow.’
The annual free event has been taking place for nearly two decades, thanks to sponsorship from KPMG.
‘KPMG is proud to support Castle Nights because it brings our community together through the power of the arts and celebration. Guernsey’s creative talent is extraordinary, and this event gives more than 150 performers a platform to shine.
‘Investing in Castle Nights is our way of celebrating the island’s vibrant cultural life and contributing to an event that belongs to everyone,’ said Dermot Dempsey, territory lead partner at KPMG in the Crown Dependencies.
Guernsey Arts organises the music programmes for all four events. Gates will open at 6pm with entry available on a first-come, first-served basis, and the evenings finish at 9pm.
More information on 2026 programmes will be available soon.
