With a celebration-filled summer ahead, Bermuda is kicking off its
festivities in early May, officially declaring the month of May
‘Heritage Month’, to celebrate the island’s history and its diverse
cultural links to the UK.
The highlight is Bermuda Day on May 24th, which has been declared
a public holiday and will feature a bonanza of activities on island to
celebrate 400 years as a British territory.
The day includes a half-marathon, a cycling race, and
performances by Bermuda’s beloved Gombey dancers as well as an official
parade through the city of Hamilton.
Bermuda Day is also renowned as being the first day of the season
when Bermudian’s take their first dip of the season with sea
temperatures rising above 70 degrees around this time.
Bermuda’s heritage links with Britain also mean that this is the
perfect place to celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and experience
some of the amazing history and culture on offer, such as:-
The best things come in small packages and Bermuda is no exception. With miles of breathtaking coastline, more golf courses per square mile than any other nation in the world, and only seven hours on a direct British Airways flight from London Gatwick – Bermuda offers a perfect blend of heritage and culture all within just 21 miles.
