The Alderney Week theme for 2016 is Cartoons and Comic Books. Pounding with potential for colour, capes and zany craziness, organisers drew inspiration from suggestions by Alderney Week's Facebook followers.
They want festival-goers to channel their favourite cartoon or comic book characters from past or present - be it Dennis the Menace, a Marvel superhero or the Simpsons' blue-haired Marge.
The Alderney Team - Emma & Marcus Odoli, Nicci & Phil Knight, Ebony Jenkins, Danny Oates, Bryony Kissick, Chris Harris, Maria Ives and Kev Gentle - are keen to get cracking. Emma Odoli said: "We're back for round two and can't wait to get started. Be prepared for another crazy week packed with wild events, wacky races, heroic performances, tons of music and as much comic book fun as we can manage!"
If you would like to come on board, and join us in helping or participating, please get in touch, Alderney Week just wouldn't happen without everybody getting stuck in... whether it's building a float, shaking a bucket, running a stall, jumping into the harbour or just turning up, we want you all to enjoy Alderney Week. So, get comic-booking people, the possibilities are endless!

Tue 21st July 2026 Free entry, retiring collection for ABO. Pete Ellis escaped office life in 2000 to take up a life in the outdoors. Soon becoming an International Mountain Leader, he led trekking holidays in the UK, Europe and further afield for the next 20 years. During this time, he also indulged his passion for climbing mountains, which included, in 2012, Mount Everest. This completed the Seven Continental Summits (the highest points of all seven continents), an achievement accomplished by a select group of about 400 people.
This talk is about the final, Everest, stage of The Seven Summits. The climb was from the north, through Tibet, the route originally visited by Mallory and Irvine in the 1920s. It will be a personal tale of the trip, illustrated with many photographs.
