Bees & Honey Masterclass with Rachel de Thample

Join us and our friend, Rachel De Thample, author of the newly released River Cottage Bees & Honey Handbook, to discover the world of bees, honey and gardening for nature.

This immersive event begins with a slice of honeyed carrot cake before diving into an inspiring talk on creating bee-friendly spaces; whether in a garden, patio, or larger landscape.

Next, we will take a short walk along our nature trail here on the farm to our own apiary, where you'll see our resident bees in action. We will finish with a delicious honey tasting, where you'll explore a wide plethora of fascinating honeys and learn about their nuances.

Perfect for bee enthusiasts, gardeners, and aspiring beekeepers alike!
