SIR GARFIELD SOBERS AUDITORIUM
The Sir Garfield Sobers Sports Complex (the Complex), which is situated in Wildey, St. Michael, was opened as a sporting facility in November 1992 as part of a strategic initiative by the Government of Barbados to promote sports tourism. One of the main government-owned indoor sporting facilities in the country of Barbados, it is able to accommodate close to 5,000 spectators. The complex also includes conference rooms, an exercise room and warm-up rooms, and is home to the Aquatic Centre, National Tennis Centre, and Wildey Football Turf as well as outdoor recreational basketball, netball and road tennis courts for use by the general public. The facility is situated northeast of the ABC Highway.
WILDEY FOOTBALL TURF
Wildey Turf is Barbados’ main football stadium. Located in the Sir Garfield Sobers Sports Complex, it is used by the Barbados Football Association for national team and club matches and can accommodate some 2,000 spectators. In 2014, FIFA provided finances for an administrative building and grandstand, and an artificial turf and stadium lighting was later installed. The Wildey Turf is regularly used for international matches, national and club matches and competitions among school-based teams.

The Wyndham Grand Sam Lords Castle property is situated on the southeast coast of Barbados in Long Bay, St. Philip. It is about a 20-minute drive, or 6 miles, from the Grantley Adams International Airport, and approximately 12 miles from Bridgetown. Its location was once home to the former Sam Lord’s Castle hotel, originally built in 1820 by the notorious buccaneer Sam Lord, whose wealth stemmed from luring unsuspecting ships to nearby shallow reefs and plundering the cargo of the wrecked vessels.
