Have you ever wondered how honeybees make honey? Why they do it? How much honey they make? A visit to the full attraction includes a guided tour of the Honey Factory where you will find out these answers and more! It is a working Honey Factory for all the hives that the beekeeping team look after and as you walk in you will be greeted by a delicious honey aroma – especially if it is harvest time!
You’ll discover what is involved in extracting honey from the hives and how they bottle it in jars ready for sale. With viewing windows into the production areas and informative displays, you can take your time to learn more about other products of the hive too and find out why those ‘busy bees’ are so busy!
The Honey Factory Tour ends with a honey tasting session where you can sample some of our delicious honeys!
You can also wander through the themed plots, laid out as honeycomb. Their internationally unique garden is designed to be super rich in nectar and a fantastic habitat for bees and other pollinators.
Let the kids buzz around the huge indoor soft play! With climbing ropes, slides and soft play fun, they are sure to have a great time exploring. Meanwhile you can sit and enjoy a hot drink and slice of cake, or a spot of lunch, from the onsite café.
We welcome all dogs in Quince Honey Farm. They must be wearing leads. Assistance dogs are allowed in all areas (pet dogs are not allowed in the indoor play area).
