This year’s National Honey Show, 22nd to 24th October, will be a professional, online conference welcoming beekeepers worldwide.

Everyone is welcome to attend the event, free of charge.

Attendees will be able to attend lectures, demonstrations, visit our trade hall and take part in other exciting activities.

The show will feature a series of lectures and demonstrations, followed by live online Q&A sessions, with the opportunity to ask questions via the ‘chat’ facility.

All your favourite traders will be represented in the Trade Hall, where you will be able to keep in touch with their latest offerings.

Donations

We hope you can support our National Honey Show 2020 conference. This event is expensive to stage and our current sponsorship covers only a fraction of the cost.

We are asking for donations and are most grateful for whatever you can contribute.
