Ninety seconds on Bermuda Craft Market
Busiest with a ship alongside, when the market adds an hour to its closing. The glassworks and the rum cake company at the Dockyard open on ship days and from Friday to Sunday and not otherwise, so a quiet weekday buys a different visit.
Sixty tables and more make this the island's largest gathering of its kind, and it has traded out of the same hall since 1987. Beyond the cedar there are ceramics, candles, soaps, textiles, jewellery and a shelf of pepper jam and rum cake, which is where most of the buying happens. Nothing is charged at the door and three quarters of an hour is generous, longer only when something is being made at the back. The pub in the same building keeps the easier hours, daily from noon until nine, and the arts centre a short walk away opens daily from eleven until four, which makes a wet afternoon at this end of the island straightforward.
