Happy Valley Honey
Wednesday 7 October 10am - 11:30am
We're delighted to welcome Paul from Happy Valley Honey, who'll be joining us to talk all things bees!
Based in Bollington, Paul and his family have been keeping bees since 2008 and now care for more than 130 colonies across the Cheshire countryside.
Paul will share the story behind Happy Valley Honey and offer a fascinating insight into the world of beekeeping, from the inner workings of a hive to how raw English honey makes its way to your table. Expect plenty of expert knowledge, hands-on learning, and a few surprising facts along the way.
There will also be an opportunity to purchase a selection of Happy Valley Honey's delicious honey and bee-related products, so bring cash or a card if you'd like to take some home.
Admission: The event is free and there’s no need to book, just come along on the day.
Venue: Droylsden Library, Guardsman Tony Downes House, Manchester Road, Droylsden, M43 6SF

What are Book Time for Yourself clubs?
The clubs offer a new type of reading experience. They are small and friendly, and meet at various locations across Tameside once a week for an hour and a half.
How do they work?
Participants read short stories, poems and books aloud to the group. Members can simply sit back and listen, or join in discussions about what they have just heard.

Who is it for?
Book Time for Yourself clubs are open to any adults who are looking for the time and space to relax.
What sort of things do you read?
A mixture of novels, short stories and poems.
Where do the clubs meet?
