Salisbury and District Beekeepers Association is going to be in the garden of Mompesson House in Salisbury’s Cathedral Close this Saturday for their annual Bee Day.
Salisbury and District Beekeepers Association is a group of hobbyist beekeepers who meet regularly to discuss beekeeping matters and offer advice and support to fellow beekeepers and the public.
Emma James, National Trust Visitor Experience Officer at Mompesson House said: “Bee Day is a great opportunity for our visitors to meet local beekeepers, see working bees in their hive and find out more about these fascinating creatures.
“There’ll be honey tasting and samples of honey-based products in our new shop, and we will also be highlighting bee-friendly plants in Mompesson’s beautiful garden, so you can encourage bees into your own garden.”
Mompesson House is an eighteenth-century townhouse in the heart of Salisbury’s Cathedral Close.
The garden is an oasis of calm away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre, where the garden tea-room offers light bites, teas, coffees and locally baked cakes.
The house, garden, tea-room and shop are open every day until 5th November, 11am – 5pm with last entry at 4.30pm.
Bee Day takes place on Saturday 10th June, 11am-4.30pm. Normal admission charges apply. www.NTSouthWest.co.uk
