Friday 3 rd July “Hay & Honey” at Abington Lodge [ 10.00-4.00 and 5.30 – 8.00]
SCE's Why-on-Hay Festival! You'll need a hat against the sun and we'll get you stuck in to the joys of (and needs for) hay-making. The joys include iced apple-juice from SCE's 2008 orchards. The joy continues with ‘honey for tea'. But you have to help us ‘spin' it too. Another skill learnt! Ask all you like about our BEEKEEPING. If You'd like to help us with them too?
