About this Event

What’s happening on the day?



🐝 Meet the Beekeeper

George Street Canteen has their own wild garden and bee hives so on the day you can drop in and see the bees, meet the beekeeper and learn about the how local hives are cared for, and what we can all do to protect biodiversity. Please note this will not go ahead if the weather is not warm and sunny. Bees don’t like the rain.



🧵Beembroidery

The Fabric Folk will be hosting a Beembroydery Workshop. Make your own stitched bee and use it to repair, customise or embellish your clothing a small act that supports slow fashion and conscious making.
