HOW THE BERMUDA CALENDAR WORKS

The Bermuda Calendar is a free daily listing of events staged by civic groups, charities, service and similar non-profit organisations. Some days, because of space restrictions, certain items in this file will be omitted.

Concise, written entries for the Calendar, which must include a contact number, may be left at The Royal Gazette any time during the week. must be received on the Friday immediately preceding the Tuesday edition of the following week. Entries cannot be accepted after that time.
