Things to do in Barbados

Garrison Savannah Racecourse

The Barbados Turf Club, which regulates and promotes horse racing in Barbados, was established in 1905 and organizes three seasons of racing per year. With approximately 25 race meetings throughout the year running from January to April (Spring Season); May to September (Summer Season) and from November to December (Winter Season).

The location is the Historic Garrison Savannah, close to the capital, Bridgetown. The Garrison Savannah has been the home of horse racing in Barbados since 1845. The officers of the British Regiment, who were stationed in Barbados, used what was then the parade ground to match their horses in races and the wealthy merchants and planters later joined them.

POLO

Polo is a surprisingly popular sport in Barbados and always draws an interesting and glamorous crowd. Believe it or not, many even come from far abroad especially just to watch a game of polo in Barbados.

There are four polo grounds in Barbados. The main polo field is at Holders in the parish of St. James, and is also home to the Barbados Polo Club. The other grounds are located at Water Hall (housing Apes Hill Polo Club) also in St. James, and at Lion Castle and Clifton, both in central St. Thomas.

Crop Over Festival

The Crop Over summer festival is Barbados’ most popular and colourful festival. Its origins can be traced back to the 1780’s, a time when Barbados was the world’s largest producer of sugar.

At the end of the sugar season, there was always a huge celebration to mark the culmination of another successful sugar cane harvest – the Crop Over celebration.

As the sugar industry in Barbados declined, so too did the Crop Over festival and in the 1940’s the festival was terminated completely. However, the festival was revived in 1974 and other elements of Barbadian culture were infused to create the extravaganza that exists today ….. an event that attracts thousands of people from across the globe including Rihanna visit www.barbadoscropoverfestival.com for the next festival
