From November to July, you can watch the Senate sit here on Wednesday mornings, with its proceedings open to the public. On any other day, walk the memorials in the grounds and pair it with Sessions House next door.

Visiting

On the south side stands a limestone replica of London's Cenotaph, for Bermudians killed in the two World Wars, and a service is held at it on Remembrance Day. By the western gate, a bronze statue of Sally Basset by the Bermudian sculptor Carlos Dowling carries plaques telling her story.

At the eastern entrance, five granite slabs set in a semicircle round a fountain list the names of thousands who served in the World Wars.

If the Senate chamber is open, look for the portraits of past Premiers and Senate Presidents and the cedar chair the Governor sits in for the Throne Speech.

Know before you goPlan the visit around the grounds, and treat the Senate chamber as a bonus if it is open.
