It is on this note that our Concierge Can team has compiled a list of events and activities designed to encourage you to indulge in nothing less than inspiring experiences. Perhaps you’re a history buff and understanding facets of Barbadian culture through a special exhibition at the Barbados Museum is something that will tickle your fancy, or what about entertaining your inner fitness fan with the Hill Challenge hike? If neither is your “thing” and you crave more excitement, join scores of locals at the highlight event of the month and become a spectator at the very thrilling Sol Rally Barbados. Perfect for warming up to summer, find these and lots more in between on this list of to-dos.
