Barbados Shopping Inland

When you have visited all the stores on the south and west coasts of Barbados, don’t worry there’s more places to shop in Barbados inland.

Barbados boasts a wide variety of shops located inland which mostly carry unique and interesting art work and souvenirs.

Some of these Barbados shops that are located inland include:

— Wine Barbados
— Janice Sylvia Brock Art Gallery
— Medford Craft World
— Earthworks
— On the Wall Gallery and
— Pots and Things.

All of these places are located off the main highways, so if you decide to drive there on your own, it would probably be best to have a local show you the way on a map otherwise a taxi is always a safe bet and will get you to your destination with ease.


Earthworks Pottery

Earthworks, in Edgehill, St. Thomas, is aptly referred to as “No Ordinary Pottery” and there is no better way to describe it. The pottery at Earthworks is a unique blend of colour and design that you have never seen before. All of the pottery is delightfully decorated in colours and patterns reminiscent of the bright, fun-loving nature of Barbados and the Caribbean as a whole.

Earthworks produces full sets of dinnerware and serving pieces as well as mugs and beautiful pots. They also produce decorative pieces as well as desk and bathroom accessories. All of the pottery produced at Earthworks is fully functional as it is microwave safe, dishwasher safe, lead free and food safe.

Earthworks pottery is entirely handcrafted and hand decorated. When you visit Earthworks you can even take a tour of the work area and quiz the potters on their craft. Earthworks also welcomes personalised orders which are carried out with special care and attention.

Next door to Earthworks, on the same compound, is The Treehouse Café where you can sit and have a coffee and a light meal while enjoying the beautiful valley view and the fresh country breezes.


Wine Barbados

Are you a fan of good quality wine? If so, you must pay a visit to Wine Barbados, located in Ellerton, in the parish of St. George. Wine Barbados supplies good quality wine at reasonable prices. None of the wine is produced in Barbados, but they offer the best imports from the United Kingdom and Europe.

Medford Craft World

Medford Craft World is truly a unique and special place. It boasts a wide variety of completely hand-crafted mahogany pieces of all shapes and sizes.

their work from root to finished product.

Any of these original, one of a kind pieces would be the perfect gift or souvenir to remind you of the diverse culture of Barbados, and the quality of talent that exists on this little island. Medford Craft World is truly a one of a kind experience that should not be missed.
