Send Flowers to Somerset Village, Bermuda

Somerset Village is the main settlement of Bermuda's West End, a short curve of shops and a few restaurants beside Mangrove Bay in Sandys Parish. Boats swing at their moorings, neighbours greet each other by name, and Hamilton feels further away than the map suggests, whether you travel by road over Somerset Bridge or by ferry across the Great Sound.

The village serves the homes spread over Somerset Island: old Bermudian family houses with white stepped roofs, cottages along Somerset Road and Cambridge Road, and properties near Somerset Long Bay and Daniel's Head. Recipients are mostly local families and retirees, with some overseas residents who prefer the quiet of the west. Flowers are sent for birthdays, church occasions, new babies and bereavements, and in Bermuda a card with a personal message is read carefully.

Somerset comes alive in the days before Cup Match, the two-day cricket holiday around the start of August, when the red and navy of Somerset Cricket Club appear everywhere. To send flowers to Somerset Village for same-day delivery, order before 11:00 am local time, Monday to Saturday. Because the village is at the far end of the island from Hamilton, an order may occasionally be delivered the next day, and anything ordered after the cut-off always is. There are no Sunday deliveries.
