Honey jars

Don’t bee a fool, get down to the Honey Show

Here’s one for your diaries. It doesn’t take place until the weekend after next and we will be reminding you nearer the time, but it’s one well worth visiting.

Bee keepers on the Isle of Wight are an incredibly friendly bunch and invite you to their annual Honey Show on Saturday 27th October.

We’ve been to this event a couple of times before and it’s really fascinating speaking to the bee keepers, tasting the huge variety of honeys and getting to take some home too.

Find out more about bee keeping
You’ll be able to chat to them about bee-keeping, look around the entries from the members in the wide range of categories including honey, wax, candles, floral displays and great cakes.

Local honey products for sale
There’ll will be a show shop to buy their bee-keeping products, honey and wax products.

It’s free to get in and runs between 2:30pm and 4:15pm. Prizes are awarded near the end of the day for entries into the competition.

Takes place at Arreton Community Centre
