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.

Very nice, quite new place with a lot of potential. I like to watch games and Formula on the big screen. Great place if you want to buy souvenirs and try local food.

This is a rare find.
My Bajan hosts took me here and even they were surprised at the change.
I have one word to the Bajan government; ADVERTISING.
I loved this place, so many places to shop and food to taste, it's a shame that I was introduced to it 24 hours before I'm due to fly back to the UK.
To be frank, I'd probably book another holiday to just eat at "Fat Dolly"

Although a bit out of the way. Worth a visit.
Great atmosphere, only officially opened March 2024 in what was previously a Sugar processing factory on the outskirts of Speightstown.
Good selection of fast food shops and compliments the variety of more upmarket shops. The main auditorium has a big TV screen to allow visitors to chill out with a drink and a bite to eat.
Throughout the place are boards showing the history of the Sugar Mill.
Check out the website.

What a great way to use the remains of a sugar distillery. Turn it into a market with artusan shops and food stalls. A special mention to 'Rum & Co' a great little rum shop with some of the island's best rums on offer. Good luck, Mark, in your new venture.
