Holders Season

For most people a holiday in the Caribbean involves lazy days under palm trees, white sand stretching as far as the eye can see. High culture doesn’t tend to play a big feature. But it’s worth stirring yourself from your paradise-induced stupor, because Barbados is home to the biggest performing arts festival in the West Indies. Holders Season takes place annually in the beautiful garden of Holders House, a 17th century plantation house, owned by John and Wendy Kidd (parents of Jodie). Not far from the famed resort of Sandy Lane, Holders is the perfect setting for open-air theatre and opera, an eclectic programme of which is staged each year alongside live music. Past performers have included everyone from renowned opera singer Luciano Pavarotti to petite pop princess Kylie Minogue as well as classical violinist Patmore Lewis. Guests sip champagne in the beautifully landscaped gardens as talented musicians keep them entertained, and an elegant and exclusive atmosphere prevails.
