The Cup Match Cricket Festival celebrates Emancipation Day & Mary Prince Day, by spending time with family and friends. with people gathering for picnicking, drinking, eating, and games.

In 1947 two official national public holidays were introduced and are now held annually on the Thursday and Friday closest to August 1st. The first day of the Cup Match holiday was named Emancipation Day in 1999, and continues the tradition of remembering the end of slavery. The second holiday, Somers Day, commemorates Admiral Sir George Somers, whose ship, the Sea Venture, was on its way to the Virginia settlement when it wrecked in Bermuda in 1609. This shipwreck led to the island’s permanent settlement by the British in 1612.

The two-day holiday became the annual two days of cricket played between the St. George’s Cricket Club and Somerset Cricket Club for the cup – Cup Match.

The Cup Match is one of the most energized, exciting, and significant holiday weekends for the island of Bermuda.

Siam Spa will be closed on August 1st and 2nd 2024, and reopen on Saturday, 3rd August 2024 at 10:00 am.
