There is a wide appreciation of craft throughout the island, paving way for the establishment of the Bermuda Craft Market - the largest craft market in the country. The current location of this market was once a barrel-making warehouse, which has been converted into stalls housing an attractive collection of the island’s best art and craft. An impressive array of souvenirs and gifts made by talented local artisans are beautifully displayed and sold here. The artisans take immense pride in their collection of pottery, sea glass jewelry, banana dolls, knitted gombey dolls, ceramics, textiles and a lot more. As visitors wander around the Market, they are able to witness first-hand, and will undoubtedly appreciate the artisans’ skills during their craft and art demonstrations. A market will not be complete without tasty food. Enjoy the selection of local delicacies while wandering around the stalls. BERMUDA CRAFT MARKET
