    A New National Event on the UK Beekeeping Calendar

    The Beekeeping Show is a brand-new, independent one-day trade show on the UK beekeeping calendar, established and organised by a team drawn from across the industry.

    The aim is to stage a first-class not-to-be-missed annual event for visitors and exhibitors alike, specifically to:

    • interest beekeepers of all types, scales and experience
    • attract comprehensive representation of the UK manufacturers and suppliers
    • welcome the return of European suppliers to events here in the UK
    • develop the show into an internationally recognised trade event with exhibitors drawn from around the globe.

    The inaugural show will take place on Saturday 25 February 2023. 

    Telford International Centre has been selected as the venue for the show. This purpose-constructed exhibition centre provides high-standard space and facilities, quality catering, plentiful on-site parking (free to show visitors) and several hotels providing accommodation for all budgets.

    The venue’s central location is easily accessible from all parts of the UK. By vehicle, it is just a couple of minutes off the national motorway network. A nearby rail link offers a sustainable public transport option. For those travelling by air from further afield, the venue is in easy reach of  Birmingham International Airport.

    I think it is safe to say that our visit to the Edgehead Village Day yesterday afternoon was successful in allowing us to promote bee conservation along with the art and craft of beekeeping, raise our profile in the area and generate income for the association.  

    Our stall was "buzzing" throughout the afternoon with the observation hive and honey tasting drawing visitors in. Young and old alike were fascinated with the bees in the observation hive and many questions were asked by our visitors and answered by the NBA team at the event. (Martin V, Rosemary M, Helen N, Tim P, Annette E and ME) Three types of honey were on offer for our visitors to taste and the Newbattle honey was a very useful point of sale promotional tool.

    Lorraine A and Ewan M helped behind the scenes, thank you both.

    Our sales during the afternoon were steady throughout, and we ended the day with a total of £455.20.    

    Thank you one and all.
