The Visitor Information Centre in Guernsey has been relocated to the centre of town.

The centre's new home is in the Market Buildings and it is hoped the move will see an increase in footfall to the area as well as making it a more convenient place for people to visit.

The new location has been renovated and care was taken to protect the history of the building.

Market Buildings is the starting point for a new walking route created for Guernsey's 80th Liberation Day Anniversary.

Deputy Neil Inder, President of the Committee for Economic Development, said: "This move presented the opportunity to breathe life back into an important building in the heart of St Peter Port."

Signage has been put up to ensure that visitors are able to find the new centre.

Visitor Information Centre manager Ed Man said he hoped the move would make Market Square "a really good hub" for people where they would "want to come and socialise".
