Read on to find out everything you need to know about this exciting event and how to make Mother’s Day weekend truly unforgettable for you and your gang.

Meet the Beekeeper and his honey bees

Ever wondered how honey gets from the hive to your toast? Expert beekeeper Michael Wilde from Tara Hill Honey will be hosting interactive workshops, giving families a rare close-up look at a real working beehive.

Michael will bring along his bees for an exclusive display, allowing you to witness firsthand how these remarkable creatures work together to support their colony.

Each workshop is 15-minutes long and you’ll learn a whole bunch of fun facts about the fascinating lives of bees, and why they’re so important to our planet. Trust us, the kids (and grown-ups!) will be buzzing with excitement!

Sunflower planting

Every workshop ends with a lovely hands-on activity: sunflower planting!

You and your little ones can plant your own sunflower seeds in biodegradable pots and take them home, creating a bee-friendly haven right in your back garden.

Bee-autiful arts, crafts & face painting

What’s a family day out without a bit of creative fun?

Kids can get stuck into arts and crafts, making adorable bee-inspired masterpieces, and even transforming into their favourite pollinators with bee-themed face painting.

It’s all completely FREE – so you won’t need to endure any pre-booking stress, just turn up and have fun!
