Morning Troops!
A week today – I am already feeling sleepy in advance of the inevitable food coma. Here’s the latest round up of what’s coming up in Bermuda:
Bermuda National Gallery invite you to the latest exhibition at BNG East in St. George’s. A Sense of Place features work by local artists William Collieson, Michael Walsh, Christina Hutchings and Peter Lapsley. Admission is free and the show will run until March 31st. For more information, contact 295-9428.
Morning Kids!
IMPORTANT NOTE: Event promoters, just to give you plenty of prior notice, please make sure you submit details of your events well in advance of the Christmas and New Year break. Since they fall on my usual publishing days of Wednesday this year, it doesn’t make sense to get a post out those two weeks. This means that the last post of 2013 will be published next week and the first post of the New Year will be on Wednesday, January 8th.
Don’t panic if you can’t get everything finalised in time as you can still submit your event directly to the calendar as usual. I will still be reviewing and approving submissions during this period so they will still appear on the calendar – they just won’t appear on the Blog section.
Anyway, there are lots of Bermuda events to enjoy this festive season, so here’s the latest roundup:
To coincide with this year’s Sleeping Beauty pantomime, Bermuda Musical and Dramatic Society (BMDS) is also hosting Fairytale Land in the parking lot at Daylesford Theatre from Thursday, December 5th until Saturday, December 14th. You are invited to bring your family and join the fun from 6pm on weekday evenings and 1pm on weekends. There is no cover charge and you will have the opportunity to purchase food and games, photos with Santa and more. For more information, contact diva@bmds.bm.

Late night shopping on Fridays are great, but you can’t always make the most of it if you have Christmas parties to attend. Luckily, a group of Queen Street retailers have come to the rescue. Each Wednesday leading up to Christmas, participating retailers along Queen Street and within the Bermudiana Arcade are thanking their customers for all their support during the year with their VIP Corporate Shopping Nights. From 6pm until 8pm, you can enjoy late night shopping with a glass of wine, some refreshments and extraordinary savings. Participating retailers include Daisy & Mac, Daisy’s, All Things Sassy Pet Boutique, Lemon Tree Cafe, Choices Menswear, Bermuda Book Store, G-Wiz, Mystique’s, Pic-a-Pet and the Irish Linen Shop. The VIP Shopping evenings take place each Wednesday leading up to Christmas with the last one being on December 18th. For more information, contact marketing@queenmgt.com. Continue reading this post…
Happy Hump Day, Boys and Girls!
Lots to celebrate these last few days of November – it’s Thanksgiving tomorrow, then Black Friday bargains, lots of men will be getting their faces back this weekend as MOvember comes to an end, and, of course, lots of upcoming Bermuda events to look forward to:
Atelier Lounge, in association with Polished, presents You Gatsby Polished on Friday, November 29th. Promising to be a glamorous night filled with fun, mingling, excitement and a touch of style, the evening will begin from 5pm on the 2nd floor of 56 Reid Street. The dress code is Gatsby-themed with a mix of DJs, tasteful hors d’ouevres and beverages available. Part proceeds will benefit the Chewstick Foundation. For more information, or to RSVP, contact info@askbermuda.bm or 599-5292.
Happy Friday!
Just a quick update before the weekend – TGIF:
