Food Scene
Our beautiful historical Duke of Marlborough Hotel is beachfront in Russell town. The food is wonderful and the ambiance is just lovely. My favorite thing to do is watching the sunset at their beach side tables. During summer months they often will have a band or musician.

Entertainment & Activities
The list of movies playing and times is normally on the noticeboard on the side of Four Square by the Russell wharf. It's a little bit quirky and the movies are not always up to date but a nice way to end the day. Ask about local restaurant deals too if you are goingl.
