Zemi Art Gallery

Nestled in the trendy district of Redcliffe Quay, St. John's, Zemi Art Gallery captures the essence of traditional Antiguan and Barbudan art with a welcomed fresh approach.

Zemi Art Gallery contains some fabulous gems of art and handcrafted jewelry. It is much more than a souvenir shop. A great place to browse and out the local art scene.

Cedars Pottery

Cedars Pottery began in 1996 when Antiguan born ceramicist Michael Hunt returned to Antigua with his English wife and ceramicist Imogen Margrie. They collaborated to produce a range of hand thrown decorated tableware. The couple have been delighted by the response to their work.

Betty's Hope

Sugar plantation established in 1674 and preserved as a monument to the slaves whose labor it exploited.

Reviewed By 18sarah08 - Derbyshire, United Kingdom

Really interesting place to visit, great exhibit of the Sugar plantations, showing a model of how the area was, including all the housing. It explained the Slave trade, how some managed to help themselves in such a terrible situation, where others suffered badly, and ran away to the Devils Bridge, only to loose their lives.
