Haymans Market
Haymans Plantation was established on this site in 1649 after a purchase of smaller plantations by Henry Haymans a planter from England. Sugar cane was grown on the fields surrounding the Plantation, harvested and bought to this location to be processed into sugar by passing it through a number of machines to crush, boil and extract the golden sugar.
Over the years the location through many owners would have transformed from a simple wind driven mill and open boiling operation to a sophisticated electrified modern factory of its time.
Factory operations came to an end in 1988 when the factory closed its doors due to the changing state of the Sugar Industry in Barbados and over the years lay in a state of disrepair and abandonment. Its grounds and buildings were used as garages for equipment being used to harvest sugar and the factory machinery was removed and sold off leaving an empty shell.
In 2020 the factory was purchased by Sun Group Investments Inc. and our Chairman
Bernard Weatherhead announced the factory would be repurposed and transformed to a space combining living, learning, entertainment, retail shops and a market attraction for all to enjoy.

The Easter Festival at Haymans Market in St Peter’s was an absolute treat from start to finish.
Set inside a beautifully restored 380-year-old sugar factory, the space featured over 80 stalls, and there was something for everyone.
From hand-crafted gifts and unique clothing pieces to luxurious beauty products and gorgeous fragrances, it felt like a treasure hunt at every turn. You could easily spend hours just browsing and chatting with the talented makers behind each stall.
And then… the food. Honestly, next level. Sandwidge delivered their famous burgers and fries (as good as ever), Wing Hut’s chicken wings were packed with flavour, Moses’ rotis were rich and comforting, and Eve’s fishcakes were simply incredible. Every bite felt like a highlight.
To top it all off, a freshly pressed lemonade from Shay’s was the perfect refresh — light, zesty, and exactly what you need while wandering through such a vibrant market.
Overall, it was a brilliantly curated event with a fantastic atmosphere — the kind of place where you come for a quick look and end up staying for hours.

My husband and I visited twice last week. The space is absolutely beautiful. It’s filled with unique shops, cafes and restaurants in the heart of St. Peter. We particularly enjoyed pastries from the Cliff bakery and coffee from Wyndhams. We will definitely return next time we are in Barbados!

It's a refurbished Sugar Factory, and it's open air but some of the stores have air conditioning.
I like Love Lives Here because one of the ladies who works there from Guadalope and speaks fluent French gave me a compliment that made me feel seen. I also like to sample the charisma and Baileys, from one of the stores but sshhhh. 💓
The views of the rolling hills are beautiful and the cooling deck is incredibly chic. I like the bars as well and some of the bartenders are very professional and attractive.
The food is honestly pretty mid but it can be eaten in a beautiful location and I've tried at least 6 or 7 different vendors so I'm not too impressed but they make up for it by the space being beautiful. It was the response to my review that made me decide to post more and attach photos!
See you soon 😊 😘 💓.

We had a great time visiting Haymans Market! I used to be a sugar cane plantation and factory and much of the history of the location is evident through audio tours. The lemonade and views were perfect!
