Beekeeping Experience
Looking for an insight into the world of beekeeping, or looking for a beekeeping gift? This could be the experience for you.
The Beekeeping Experience takes place at our premises at Haltwhistle, where you will receive an introductory talk on the basics of beekeeping, an insight into commercial beekeeping and delve into the beehive (beesuits, gloves provided) please bring suitable footwear – wellies or high boots.
Following meeting the bees you will migrate back inside to the tasting room to enjoy a tasting of the Sparkling Meads and Honey we produce.
The beekeeping experience generally takes around 1hr 30 mins.
Experiences can be undertaken on a one to one basis but can also be booked for a couple, if booking for 2 people then 2 places needed to be booked and paid for.
