Children can enjoy face painting, seed ball making, and more, while adults browse stalls from local environmental charities and beekeeping organisations. There will be beekeeping displays, homemade cakes, and refreshments, all set to the sound of live music to entertain and uplift throughout the afternoon.

Ciaran Clark, the charity’s resident solitary bee expert, will also be giving fascinating talks and leading bee walks to help you discover the wonderful world of Bees
