Hi Everyone,

This has been talked about and mentioned in other threads but we would like to make things official and let the forum know some details.

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.

Our 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.

For full details, see the dedicated show website – https://www.thebeekeepingshow.co.uk – which is now live for exhibitor and visitor bookings.

We look forward to welcoming you to the show.

Thornes will be there.

Hope you have a trailer for all the equipment you might buy!
I actually do transport bee-related stuff with my bike trailer sometimes!

Do something really specialised like Beehive Joints from 1879 to 1913. Can’t beat a good talk about something really obscure.
Goes down really well ... you can say what you like because nobody else has a clue about what you are talking about ! I have a list of similar topics available to spur the imagination - for a small fee I can make this available to anyone who wishes to bore their way to stardom. No notes available as they are so obscure you can fabricate it as you go along ... should appeal to a few members on here !

Have you a "no notes" lecture on the subject of honey I could purchase? I've been strong armed into delivering such a talk for the local Horticultural Society next January and I'm lost how to start. I'm sure the lack of notes would get me started!

One season doing something seems to make a few people experts too. You can flannel the public but not a beekeeper. Something to bear in mind

Sounds like a prime opportunity to sell a lot of honey.
 
Definitely thinking of going being as Telford is 1 hr away from me, I haven't been to any beekeeping shows as yet.
Telford seems to be a popular place for beekeeping shows, you've been missing a real opportunity by having not attended any previously.

Me neither but its 3 and half hours from me... was tempted by BeeTradex but decided i wouldnt go. Would have to make a long weekend of it i think...
went to Th*rne sale at Rand Lincs last year enjoyed that bunfight - well organised and friendly
 
I thought Harper would always be our closest event, but Telford I could almost throw a stone at the building and hit it from our base 😂😂
