World Bee Day Family Activities (AM)

Bees are one of our pollinator superheroes, we couldn’t grow all our fruit & veg on the farm without them - this day is about celebrating their hard work and helping protect them for years to come!

Did you know that we have around 270 species of bee in Britain? See how many you can spot by taking part in a Pollinator Walk around the farm. 

Help our bees to survive and thrive by building a Bee Hotel to take home or join us at our Seed Bomb Station to create your own wildflower mix; plant it at home to make sure bees can find food in your outdoor space. 

Meet Gemma who grows cut flowers on the Kindling Farm site and sells them at markets across the Northwest. She will tell you what flowers will be popping up in the flower patch this year and selling some of her blooms onsite. 

You must register to come to this event - please don’t just turn up as facilities and parking is limited.
Car parking spaces are restricted to 1 car per booking. But don't worry because the farm is very easy to get to using public transport. 

The farm is very easy to get to using public transport and due to limited parking on site, we are encouraging people to travel by bus or train! To help us keep track of car parking spaces, please email us ahead of time to secure a parking space. 

We kindly ask that you don’t bring your dogs with you as it's ground bird nesting season.  

We do not have a cafe on site but refreshments will be available (donations are welcome. Please note that we don't have a card reader so can only accept cash). 

The farm is about to undergo a refurbishment so unfortunately it is not wheelchair accessible at the moment and we have limited number of camping toilets onsite.

This activity will take place outdoors (weather permitting!) and as a working farm, the ground can be uneven in places which makes it unsuitable for prams or pushchairs for the walk and activities in the fields. 

We suggest wearing sturdy footwear - walking boots and wellies are ideal. And of course, we never can trust the weather so it’s best to bring a waterproof!
 

By registering for this event, you are booking on to the morning time slot which runs between 10.30am-12.30pm.
