Our annual Honey Show, run to National Honey Show rules, is where beekeepers and others submit their honey, wax items, cookery and craft items related to bees and beekeeping for judging by experienced judges, with rosettes and trophies awarded to winners. There are entry classes not only for our members but also for other beekeepers and the public. See below for how to enter.

Our Honey Festival (10.30am to 4pm) is a fun day for all with stalls and talks throughout the day. Tasting and sales of local honey are always popular. There will be live bees on display, children’s crafts, candle rolling, talks such as “So You Want To Be A Beekeeper” and “Gardening For Bees”. Do come along, we would love to see you..
