The Rabbit Warren was alive with the sound of music on Saturday as Guernsey Together attracted thousands for the sixth year.

The one-day event sponsored by Sure brought over tribute acts to the island while also showcasing local talent.

An addition to the 2026 festival was the Little Beats Club, a separate area for under-12s to have a two-hour family-friendly festival party.

Elaina Le Tissier was with family and friends in the area.

‘One of our friends is performing in Crown & Chancre and it’s just a nice thing to do,’ she said.

‘You don’t get much opportunity to do something different and we thought it would be fun for the kids. We’re lucky the weather is good as well.

‘We’ve been in the main bit and the kids have tested out the bouncy castles. We’ve got some deck chairs by the stage so we’ll be here for the afternoon.’

The festival initially started as a celebration after the pandemic and an opportunity for musicians, food vendors and stallholders to return to normal.

Chloe Ferguson from Guernsey Bubbles, a popular feature at community events, was also in the area.

‘It’s a really great atmosphere and a great opportunity for local bands to perform and some UK bands to come over,’ she said.

She had been at the festival since the start and expected to get through about 90 litres of bubble mixture over the course of the day.

A number of local businesses and charitable initiatives attended.

Dizzy Donkey has been established for 11 years, raising money to support Frossard Ward.

‘The whole thing started when my eldest Taylor was in hospital and they were so good with her, we decided it would be really nice to give back to the ward specifically,’ said Kizzy Glendenning.

‘Last year we donated £2,000 towards the refurbishment of the playroom and multi-purpose room.

‘They message us and let us know what they need and we sort it out.

‘Every year we donate arts and crafts and take presents over at Christmas.

‘This is the first year we’ve been at Guernsey Together but it’s a great atmosphere and all the stallholders have been helping each other out.’
