The Battle of Flowers is an annual event held on the 2nd Thursday and Friday in August. The Thursday parade is held in the afternoon and the Friday Moonlight parade is held in the evening. Tickets can be purchased for either event through the Battle of Flowers official website www.battleofflowers.com. There is now only one hotel near the parade area, just at the beginning of the parade route. This is the 5 star Grand Jersey Hotel & Spa. In order to see the Battle of Flowers parade properly you would need to pay to enter the arena or you can purchase stand seats.

There are a number of launderettes in Saint Helier. You do not say where in Saint Helier you will be staying but I am sure there will be one nearby.

The only one that we believe is really suitable for a family of this size would be La Rocco (several apartments sleep up to 6 adults and can accommodate an additional child) or Beau Rivage (several apartments sleep up to 4 adults + 4 children).

The Beachcombers Hotel is the opposite side of the island to the airport. If using the local bus service this would require taking one bus to the main bus Station and then another bus to the hotel. Alternatively there are plenty of taxis available at the airport. Your third option would be to hire a car for your holiday. This could be collected at the airport and returned there at the end of your holiday.

At that time of year there isn't going to be that much choice. Your best choices are going to be the Mayfair (3 star), the Apollo Hotel (3 star) or the Monterey Hotel (3 star).

There are no longer any guest houses or hotels in the Saint Ouen area. The nearest hotels would be West View Hotel, Saint Mary Hotel, Miramar Hotel, or Saint Brelade Hotel. The only guest accommodation left in Saint Ouen is self-catering.

The Lavender Villa has been sold and will no longer be trading as a hotel. Possible alternatives in that area would be: Beachcombers Hotel, Old Bank House Hotel, Dolphin Hotel or Moorings Hotel. Of these 4 only the Beachcombers Hotel has a swimming pool. Slightly further away but in a coastal location is Pontac House Hotel which does have a swimming pool.

Scottish bank notes are accepted in Jersey and the other Channel Islands as they have the same value as sterling. Euros are also accepted in some establishments but if you are planning to visit I would just use Scottish notes and avoid any rate of exchange. There is no charge withdrawing cash at ATMs but they will dispense Jersey currency (a few dispense sterling). You can find out more about Jersey Currency here.

I am Presuming your enquiry is for next year in main Summer holiday period. Regarding the passport issue, all airlines now require photographic ID, passport being the obvious but citizens card or driving licence also acceptable with most airlines. Jersey has all the major banks but if you have a building society account then you may have a problem. Regarding when to visit and where to stay, the weather is very much the same as the South West of England but can be a couple of degrees warmer. You do not state what you budget might be but one of the best hotels for children is the Merton Hotel as they have so many facilities, including their own aquadome and flowrider, so even if the weather is not ideal there is always something to do. They also have single parent deals but early booking is recommended. If however you prefer something near the beach I would suggest the Miramar (above Saint Brelades Bay) or the Golden Sands Hotel (on the beachfront at Saint Brelades Bay).

The problem with self-catering is that the majority are restricted during the high season for arrivals on Saturday and only for multiples of 7 nights. The only one we know for sure that allows short stays is Liberty Wharf Apartments as they are designed for corporate as well as leisure visitors.
