Nightlife
If your idea of great nightlife is to go to the hippest new venue with hundreds of other peple, sip the newest cocktail, dance the night away to the latest dance sounds, then… don’t come to Alderney!
If however, your ideal evening on holiday is to head back from a lazy day on the beach, crack open a bottle of something, sit listening to the sounds of the sea while the birds twitter and flutter around you, enjoy the wonderful sunset and then light your barbeque and cook a fish you have caught yourself… then a holiday at Les Pourciaux Cottage will be just up your street!
Having said all that, Alderney is very well served for lively bars and restaurants and there is live music most weekends during the summer season at the Georgian House Hotel and The Moorings, and on the Butes during Alderney Week. Check out their websites, social media pages and noticeboards for information or simply ask staff at the bars for what is coming up.
If you feel the need and the time is right, there are occasional discos through the year to support various island causes. You will usually find notices of these in shop windows and noticeboards and on Alderney social media pages.
Also particular to Alderney, there are ‘Quarry’ and ‘Bunker’ parties which happen in high summer and go on well into the night – they are an experience in themselves!
