The Pelican Craft Centre is a modern facility, the largest of its kind in the Caribbean, dedicated to the arts and crafts. The Centre is divided into a retail section and the Pelican Workshops. The retail section comprises 25 retail shops, a gallery and annex, a wine bar & bistro, a restaurant, and an artist wall.
The Pelican Workshops are where visitors can see firsthand the creativity of our craftsmen including pottery, woodcarving, basketry and strawwork, fine art, glass blowing, weaving, moulded figure-making, sewing and cigar making.
The Centre is also the home of the Pelican Dooflicky, a festive carnival event replete with pageantry and culture. The Pelican Dooflicky is staged weekly during the tourist season and visitors are encouraged to join the revelers in the carnival parade and show.
