The big screen in Howard Davis Park will now be used to show a variety of sporting events and cinema this summer.
Following the success of putting Euro 2024 on the screen, which thousands of islanders attended, the screen will remain in place to show the Olympics, Paralympics and F1.
The Euro 2024 screenings at Howard Davis Park have been deemed such a success, after thousands of islanders attended, the screen will remain in place for 'Summer in the Park'.
The Olympics, Paralympics and Formula One are set to be shown, alongside The Proms, as well as theatre screenings, movie nights and musical events.
We are also told that the screen will be used for quiz nights this summer.
However, islanders still can not drink alcohol in the area, as all the same rules for the Euros screenings will apply.
Events will also be free and not ticketed. Although, if the venue's 2,400-person capacity is reached people will need tickets.
The Government of Jersey and the Creative Island Partnership are rolling out the event.
Deputy Kirsten Morel, Minister for Sustainable Economic Development, is supporting the initiative:
“Placemaking is a key pillar of the Arts Strategy, and initiatives like Summer in the Park enhance our public spaces and encourage community engagement.
"We hope everyone takes advantage of this wonderful opportunity to celebrate and connect throughout the summer season.
"We’re keen to hear from you — tell us what events you’d love to see and be part of shaping this fantastic summer programme.”
The first event to kick off the summer series will be the Olympic Opening Ceremony this Friday, 26 July, at 6:30 pm.
