Bees are under threat and need our help to survive, by understanding the behavior and instincts of the honey bee along with their needs and the problems they are encountering you can help a vital part of our environment.
Beginning Your Beekeeping
A 2-day course explaining more about the honey bee, helping you choose your hive and equipment, how and where to set up your apiary, the bees management and pests and diseases. Learning the art of beekeeping is a fascinating past-time, but beware it can become addictive from the very first time you open a hive and peer inside! It is an interest that can just keep growing, as you begin to understand more and more about how these little insects work as an incredible and complex colony there is endless knowledge to gain.

The integrated, heavy-duty groundsheet offers great protection against the elements - ie: more security in wet weather and better bug protection - hence great for those not too sure on camping too close to nature.
Fitted out with our own range of Glamp Clamp Hooks and Tables and bunting.
This 5 metre Bell Tent comfortably fits 4 double air mattresses (good for groups or families). However ideal for 4-6 guests. It will fit many more if it is used for a chill out zone.

- The location is great to enjoy peace and tranquility of your own field without new neighbours appearing and cramping your pitch.
- You only share the field with 4 working bee hives at the top of the field.
- Because of this, We do not recommend this site if you are alergic to bees and need an epi pen. If you don't know if you are alergic to bee stings, we will have an epi pen available in case of reaction.
We keep the field fairly wild, but try to keep the area around the tents mowed.
