Culture
Guernsey has a lively and well patronised cultural scene. The St James concert hall boasts an extensive diary of performances by both visiting and local musicians. There is also a performing arts centre and a number of galleries and exhibition spaces that house permanent and touring works.
The local art college has a programme of visiting artists, while pubs host music events as diverse as rock nights and baroque choral evenings. The Town Church also hosts recitals.
Sport is also pursued with a passion. Football, rugby, netball, hockey, cricket and tennis are all represented and most have active leagues, but there are a whole host of activities, organized and otherwise, available to residents. These include surfing, windsurfing, sailing, dirt bike riding and kayaking to name but a few.
The public leisure centre has a swimming pool, gym, sports hall and tennis and squash courts and the island is also home to a number of private health clubs, plus two eighteen hole golf courses and one nine hole.
