Shopping in <strong>Jersey</strong><br />
St Helier’s the Place<br />
The island’s capital is home to an intriguing<br />
mix of shops. Sophisticated and traditional<br />
shopping sit happily side-by-side in the<br />
attractive centre, where pedestrianised<br />
thoroughfares are lined <strong>with</strong> well-known<br />
High Street stores and smaller local shops.<br />
There’s also a splendid Victorian vegetable<br />
market and fish market, together <strong>with</strong> a<br />
great choice of cafés and restaurants – all<br />
of which provide a relaxed ambience for<br />
browsing and buying.<br />
St Helier’s Markets<br />
The Central Market has long been a source<br />
of pride to the people of <strong>Jersey</strong>. Between<br />
them, the 36 market stalls cover almost<br />
every retail experience – everything from<br />
antiques to flowers, fresh vegetables to<br />
jewellery. If you can’t find what you want<br />
here then you have to ask the question: do<br />
you really need it?<br />
Opening times: 7.30am–5.30pm<br />
Monday–Saturday (but closes at<br />
2pm Thursdays)<br />
Tel 01534 448180<br />
The more modern Beresford Market (or<br />
Fish Market as it is more commonly<br />
known) is justly popular for its high-quality<br />
produce and the atmosphere generated by<br />
its hard-working fishmongers.<br />
Opening times: 7.30am–5.30pm<br />
Monday–Saturday<br />

Department Stores<br />
<strong>Jersey</strong> is well served by two main local<br />
department stores. While each may<br />
consider the other a rival, both have<br />
thrived and grown over the years.<br />
