Top Jersey hotels
Before there were department stores, there were covered markets. This is one of them. Built in 1882 in Victorian architecture it is just so airy and light it's a real pleasure to walk in it. There's good food, yarn, postcards, fruits and vegetables, flowers, books, clothes, souvenirs, all you could possibly want.There is also a post office for your stamps.
The market is a great place to shop for everything under one roof. Whether it's milk, flowers, souvenirs, books, this place has it all! You can even find the UK's first mailbox right here. Black Butter (Le Niere Buerre), organic Jersey milk or ice cream, Jersey royal potatoes.
This shop looks small from the outside but it has a nice selection of wines. The lady running the shop is very friendly and helpful in a non-intrusive way. It's good to keep in mind that Jersey is out of the EU so there are limits to what you can bring back to the EU. If I remember correctly the limit is 2 bottles of still wine + 2 of fizzy, but anyway the lady will be able to tell you.
The designs are unique. Particular favourites of mine are the tidal clock and ordinary clock. The piggy banks are also pretty and make a great gift.For the kids you can take part in Glaze Craze. Basically you can paint any design of your choice for a small fee and collect the item once it has been fired. Keeps kids occupied for long enough for you to enjoy a homemade cake and coffee! anything upwards of £5.00

The factory Gorey Village in GROUVILLE is the owner of this shop and sells here its wonderful products.The factory is one of the largest industries in Jersey.The emphasis is on highest quality and to achieve that objective there works a team of well known artists and some 200 workmen and together they manage to produce over 200 different earthenware objects in 32 different designs.Depending on the decoration the objects sometimes have to be burnt in the kiln for 3 times at temps. that can be as high as 1.240 degrees Celsius.(I am an amateur potter myself, so I know how difficult the glazing is)They like using glazing with metals of 23 krt. GOLD, PLATINA and BRONZE in it which give amazing results.....See my MUST SEE tip and go visit the factory first, after that the shop.....There is ample info as for the production process and in another atelier artists are painting the...
