The trade and educational areas are fully booked – in fact we even have a waiting list, in case of cancellations.

The ten workshops are now almost fully booked – over 80 people have registered for them. The introduction to beekeeping workshops are even attracting people from abroad. The toiletries workshop has proved to be so popular that Dr Sara Robb has agreed to run another one on the Friday, running for two hours.
