Haymans Market: Barbados’ Largest Indoor Market Blends History, Local Business and Lifestyle

In many ways, Haymans Market has become a bustling world of its own. As Barbados’ largest indoor market, it has grown well beyond its original retail offering, bringing new experiences of food, culture, wellness and recreation to St. Peter.

Located just off Highway 2A, the expansive property exudes unmistakable industrial charm, a reminder that modern-day Haymans was once a working sugar factory. In fact, an old sugar-cane transport crane still hangs above the entrance, which, although no longer operational, is preserved as a prominent piece of the property’s history.
