We had an absolutely amazing day at Quince Honey Farm! We went along thinking we’d only spend a couple of hours there, but we ended up staying for about five — there was just so much to do and enjoy.

Caroline, who led our tour, was fantastic. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and made everything so engaging. The tour itself was incredible value at around £10 per person and included so many hands-on activities: harvesting your own seeds, making your own candles, and of course the honey tasting. It was also incredibly interesting to learn how the bees are positioned near different flowers, creating such a variety of distinctive honeys. The whole experience felt fun, informative, and really interactive.

After the tour we stayed for a roast dinner, which was absolutely delicious, and then did the one-mile walk around the site. Even though it was a very rainy, wintry day, we still had a lovely time.

We also visited the shop and picked up some honey and wax candles to take home — everything looked amazing, and it was hard to choose!

We took our three dogs and our nearly two-year-old daughter, and she absolutely loved it, especially the honey tasting.

Overall, Quince Honey Farm massively exceeded our expectations. A wonderful, family- and dog-friendly day out. Highly recommend! 🐝🍯

This is a wonderful place. Got a full ticket and really enjoyed the interactive talks and things to do around the place. The shop is well priced and the staff all seem really friendly. The food is also good - I didn't check the play area, but it seemed popular.

We had a fantastic day at Quince Honey Farm…it offers something for all ages. The bee demo, candle making, talks and honey tasting (all included in the entrance fee) were highlights. The café deserves a special mention too; clean, very reasonably priced, speedy service and legendary cheese scones!

It would have been lovely to see a queen bee during the demo (sadly they didn’t spot one that day) and perhaps a live hive link or glass observation hive would add even more to the experience. We also hoped to try the honeycomb, which wasn’t available. That said, there was still so much to enjoy. Both the indoor play area and the spacious outdoor areas gave the children plenty to do, while the talks and tasting kept the adults engaged.

We visited with ages ranging from 7 to 83, and genuinely everyone found something to enjoy. A tip: plan for either the morning or afternoon session, as the talks run twice a day; check timings so you don’t miss the ones you want.

Well worth a visit and one we’d happily recommend.

Very good experience! Upon arrival we had access to a leaflet with the details of workshops, had an opportunity to taste different kinds of honey and learn al about bees. We made wax candles, and I held a stick insect! It was very cute and I’m pretty sure it was called Sticky. I love bugs so i was delighted to find this out. We had scones and cream tea- the scones were hot and fresh and possibly the most delicious scones I have EVER had. The only downside was that a bee flew in and got very excited over my honey that I had with my scones. I didn’t want to hurt it so I ate my scone pretty fast so it could fly away.

This was a truly wonderful experience for both adults and children. A beautiful setting with flowers and gardens and fascinating talks and interactive sessions. Our daughter loves bees and got to find out more about them, taste honey and get involved with candle rolling and planting seeds. The staff were wonderful from the moment we walked in. From the greeting through to the lovely ladies going through the talks. They went out of their way to make sure we had a great experience. We spent an afternoon on our way back from holiday but could have easily spent a day. We have factored this in for another visit next year.
