From March to October, we offer a unique opportunity to tour Jersey’s historical Royal Court and States Chamber.
These monthly behind-the-scenes tours give you a rare insight into the Royal Court, the principal Court of Justice and the States Chamber, where the States Assembly, Jersey’s elected parliament, meet to debate and create laws.
Tours take up to two hours and are delivered by an accredited Blue Badge guide and are escorted by a Royal Court Usher. There will be plenty of time to ask questions throughout the tour.
Tours take place on a Saturday morning and are bookable via Eventbrite. There is a small charge to cover weekend running costs.

We regularly organise for States Members to be located at busy community venues, such as supermarkets and St. Helier town centre locations, to provide an opportunity for Islanders to share their views, often about a specific topic such as a Scrutiny Review.
To find out when our next pop-ups are taking place, follow us on social media:
States Members are available to speak to on any topic at drop-in sessions, which are organised in every constituency around the Island. You can also use this as an opportunity to speak to a Member who does not represent your constituency but who has responsibility for an issue you care about.

Our annual Democracy Week takes place every September to coincide with the anniversary of the Corn Riots in Jersey.
The week is dedicated to providing Islanders with a wider range of opportunities to learn about and engage with the States Assembly and its Members.
Past events have included Jersey's first People's Debate, whereby 34 local residents had the opportunity to come into the States Chamber and take part in a debate on a topical issue.
Take a look at our virtual tour of the States Chamber and learn all about the history and goings on in the States Assembly.
