🌻Things To Do in Jersey 6/6-6/8

Last weekend I joined some friends to play Bingo at G&G Stables in Howell. It was my first time there and I loved it. The farm offers a safe haven for many rescue animals and a place local wildlife can feel safe. They have a variety of fundraising events throughout the year and are open to visitors so definitely worth a visit if you love animals!

Their is a LOT going on this weekend so let’s dive in to some of the top picks.
