The story

National Trust Christmas Walkabout in Town of St George's

The Bermuda National Trust's Christmas Walkabout opens historic buildings across the UNESCO-listed town of St. George's for one candlelit December evening, combining preservation-focused building tours with carolers, food stalls and seasonal decorations along the old town's narrow lanes. Proceeds support the Trust's ongoing work maintaining Bermuda's historic properties, and residents often decorate their own doorways to match the festive route.
