Cricket is considered the national sport of Barbados and the West Indies. The energy of the Cricket Festivals and party atmosphere surround the sport, with bajans and visitors alike munching on local cuisine and being bowled over with hits of rum. Our local characters also add to the entertainment with their attire, music and comedy. One of the most popular characters is Mac Fingall an Entertainer and avid cricket fan, who along with his small band keep the many fans in the stands entertained. All this has no doubt made Barbados the favourite Cricketing Destination in the Caribbean by return visitors.
Entertaining cricket, music and culture, fun, sun and beautiful beaches... Barbados is the place to be.
Cricket and culture often make a good mix, and that is why "THE VILLAGE EXPERIENCE" a recent addition to Kensington Oval is the happening spot.
The Village Experience offers a Dining experience in cultural setting and features four Chattel Houses as the central component.
