What goes on in the mysterious world of the beehive?
​
With guidance and demonstrators from Wimbledon Beekeepers' Association's beekeepers, you will have the opportunity to take a look inside a hive and discover the fascinating craft of beekeeping.
The session will consist of a practical introduction to the world of the honey bee and experience some of the various tasks a beginner will have to master. You'll be able to see inside a hive, hold a frame with honey bees on it and get to know if beekeeping is something for you.

A festive, magical quest for the whole family

When Clara receives a super-cool enchanted Nutcracker toy, one thing’s for sure - she doesn’t want her accident-prone little brother, Fritz, anywhere near it! But with rumours of an evil, seven-headed Mouse King trying to steal Christmas, Clara might just need the help of Fritz to save the day!

Join Olivier award-winning Little Bulb ("Wolf Witch Giant Fairy") and Polka Theatre for a magical, musical quest of heroism and surprising rodent singalongs, featuring a sleigh-load of familiar festive bangers that’ll have you dancing in your seat.
