Bermuda's most comprehensive events calendar - there are so many things to do in Bermuda!
April 1st, 2020 Bermuda Calendar Update
Good Morning Bermuda,
We’ve reached the month of April and normally this time of year would bring lots of fun outdoor events to the calendar, but as the number of positive COVID-19 tests rises in Bermuda it’s more important now than ever that we stay at home to slow the spread of this dangerous virus. So here’s another round up of local businesses, online activities, etc. to assist you in social distancing this week.
We hope you find this information useful and welcome you to let us know if you are offering any products or services that we can share with our audience by emailing info@BermudaEvents.com. Be sure to follow us on social media as well for daily updates.
Pharmacies …
For those located in the East End, Robertsons Drugstore have recently posted new hours on their Facebook page. They are also offering free delivery on prescriptions.
Art Galleries …
While galleries across the island have closed, most are taking a digital approach in order to continue to provide art and inspiration to the island, so be sure to stay connected with your favourites on social media.
For example, works from the 2020 Bermuda Biennial are visible on the Bermuda National Gallery’s Instagram channel @bermuda_nationalgallery and Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art is hosting a daily art challenge on their Facebook page to encourage people to stay creative.
