We invite you to explore Bermuda and its surrounding waters. To get the lay of the land, start with the island’s three main regions.

Out here, a small population (65,000 residents) makes for a strong neighbourhood identity. Each community brings with it a unique culture all its own, and a local character to match. Whether it’s the history-rich East End, still stamped by its Colonial past; the sophisticated and global capital City of Hamilton at the centre; Photos: Blue Hole Pool / Victoire Café or the West End, a popular sightseeing hub and maritime vestige, Bermuda is easy to get to, but a world away.

Let the locals be your guide. East End St. George’s The island’s former capital and a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Town of St. George on the East End is rich with British Colonial history and culture. You’ll also discover many natural attractions, including Tom Moore’s Jungle and the Crystal Caves of Bermuda.

16 GoToBermuda.com GoToBermuda.com 17 The Rules The Laws of Cricket Similar to American baseball, the game is played with a bat and ball on a large field. Two teams face off with the object of the game being getting the opposing team’s players “out” and scoring points for your own team while at bat. And while there are many similarities to America’s pastime, the game of cricket can seem a lot more complicated to the uninitiated. Don’t worry if you don’t get it, though. The match is important, but it’s about much more than just cricket. Out here, some things are better experienced than explained.

Cup Match August 1-2 The biggest event on Bermuda’s calendar, Cup Match, is centred on a fierce Bermuda cricket rivalry between East and West, St. George’s and Somerset. But it is also a chance to recognise one of the most significant moments in Bermuda’s history: the abolition of slavery on the island in 1834. Emancipation Day coincides with the first day of Cup Match, a Thursday, and is followed by a second public holiday, which commemorates the Admiral Sir George Somers, whose shipwreck in 1609 led to the British colonisation of the island. Local cuisine is an integral part of the festival atmosphere. Try fried fish, conch, mussel and beef pies. Families will stake out their “camps” at the match grounds. If you’re lucky enough to be invited, you’ll find that each carries its own infectious, unforgettable festival spirit. At the game, fashions are coordinated around team colours – red and dark blue for Somerset, light blue and dark blue for St. George’s – so pick a side!

The County Games Cricket July 20 – August 31 These games are an insider’s glimpse into Bermuda’s local community. Visitors can enjoy a real taste of the warmth and spirit of local culture. Rival parishes compete on Saturdays and Sundays during the summer, and the games are whole-day, tailgate-style affairs with island festivities, Crown and Anchor and local cuisine. Three Eastern County games are held to name a champion. Fever The first is held two weeks before Cup Match, then the rest follow two subsequent fortnights after Cup Match at Lords, St. David’s Cricket Club field. The first is July 20, when St. David’s Cricket Club plays Bailey’s Bay Cricket Bermudians take cricket seriously, and they’re not alone. Cricket Club. The second is August 17, when the winner of the is the second most popular sport in the world, with 120 million first game will play Cleveland County Cricket Club. people playing all over the globe. First introduced to Bermuda On August 31, the winner of the second game will play Flatts Victoria Recreation Club. Tickets are $5 as a part of our Colonial heritage, cricket has been a local to $15 and available at the game. tradition for centuries. Out here, even non-sports fanatics will find plenty to enjoy during this summer tradition. Crown & Anchor A Game of Chance Cricket isn’t the only game played at a match. You can try your luck at Crown and Anchor, a simple dice game that was traditionally played by sailors in the Royal Navy. A fun and easy way to make a little tax-free spending money, it is a game of chance. To play: The table is divided into six sections, each marked with a crown, an anchor, a diamond, a club, a heart or a spade. Three dice are marked with the same. Players then place their bets on the symbols that they think will come up when the dice are rolled. Depending on which symbols come up – and how many – you can win up to three times the amount of your bet. If the symbol you bet on does not come up, you lose. Simple.
