While Bermuda’s winter evenings are cooler than the longer summer evenings, they’re still warm enough to spend outside with a sweater or light jacket. Here are some winning ideas for winter date nights with your significant other or fun nights out with friends and family.

ART OPENINGS

Tap into the island’s creative spirit at leading art venues, which regularly feature exhibits and host art openings during winter. In the City of Hamilton, the Bermuda National Gallery houses the national art collection and offers a full lineup of events and programming, including buzzworthy opening receptions. The Hamilton-based Bermuda Society of Arts runs The Peoples Gallery, with artwork and themes changing every three weeks. Its opening receptions celebrate eminent Bermudian artists. 

Another star of the local art scene, the Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art in Paget showcases fine art from the island and beyond, including an original Georgia O’Keeffe. Its exhibition openings highlight a range of art forms, from paintings to photography to film.

Night Golf

Serious golfers, step aside – this activity is for a group of golfers looking to have fun, and all skill levels are welcome. Special glow-in-the-dark balls are provided, and light-up sticks mark the greens as you tee off in the dark on one of Bermuda’s most popular Par 3 courses. To arrange a special night golf setup, contact Turtle Hill Golf Club to find out available dates.

For a more kid-friendly version of this activity, play glow-in-the-dark mini golf at Bermuda Fun Golf in Royal Naval Dockyard. 

Pony Races

Join in the action and excitement at the Vesey Street Equestrian Centre as competitors zoom around the racetrack. A night of exhilarating pony races is not one for the faint of heart. The Bermuda racetrack is unique in size and shape, making it a highly demanding course for both rider and pony. Feel the power of the ponies as they dash past you in an effort to become the season's Champion of Champions.
 
The Driving Horse and Pony Club of Bermuda hosts a weekly race evening throughout January and February where spectators can expect a fun social atmosphere and nail-biting racing. 

Escape Room

Do you have what it takes to solve the mystery and make your escape? You have 60 minutes to search for clues and use your logic and teamwork skills to unravel the clues and escape the themed room. Choose your room and your team wisely – this activity is available for the whole family but it is recommended for children over the age of 14.

Wine Tasting

Visit Bermuda’s only tasting room for a wide selection of premium worldwide wines and spirits. From Burgundy to Barossa and Carmenere to Chardonnay, the Tasting Room in Smiths Parish has some of the best selections of wines in Bermuda, no matter your purse or palate. The self-serve tasting stations allow you to top up as much or as little as you please but beware, there are too many to try in one evening! Enjoy a fun date night at the Tasting Room, and head across the parking lot to 10 South for a romantic dinner after.

Jazz Nights

Few things are as alluring as live jazz on a cool island night. Enjoy the sultry vibes of Jazz Nights at Marée Lounge, part of luxury resort The Loren at Pink Beach. The smooth jazz jams of Bermudian band The Unit provide the soundtrack for a melodic and memorable night. Elevated culinary bites and craft cocktails are available for purchase. Get tickets at ptix.bm.

Just down the road, soak up the sounds of Jazz Nights at The Deep at Cafe Lido on Elbow Beach. Live jazz from the dynamic, award-winning TMQ Quartet makes for a most enchanting evening. Check into the Dinner and Jazz package to make your night a true feast for the senses. Get tickets at ptix.bm.

Star Gazing

On a clear winter’s night, the stars light up the sky in Bermuda. With little light pollution on most parts of the island, you won’t be short of locations to put down a blanket and just look up. Bermuda’s geographical location, lack of pollution, and dark surroundings of the Atlantic Ocean, provide unique perspectives on familiar constellations. Observing celestial events from a different latitude provides an enriching experience to even the most experienced stargazers.
