11am – Redefining Productivity at Gowbarrow Hall Farm with Sam Beaumont

Sam will share how his family have transitioned from a loss making intensive system to mixed farming, producing beef, pork, leather, fruit, vegetables and herbs – all whilst protecting and restoring nature

12.30pm – The Wonder of Bees with Chris Humphreys, Cross Apiary

Descending from a carnivorous wasp, bees have been around for millions of years. Their relationship with man is long, going back to as early as the stone age. Honey featured in the Egyptian hieroglyphics and we now know it was found in Tutankhamun tomb, still edible! Join Chris as he shares how many species there are in the UK,  the few that produce honey in a hive, their individual roles and just how important they are to our world.

1.30pm – Amazing Swifts with Tanya Hoare

It’s Swift Awareness Week! The exhilarating flight of swifts in Summer delights us all. Illustrated with film footage, hear about their incredible lifestyle, spent almost entirely on the wing. Learn about the threats they face, why they are sadly in serious decline but hear about what we can do, as swifts are a bird that we CAN help.
