Meet The Bees & Tour Of The Estate Lunch 2019

Thursday 13th June

Join us for a tour of the gardens with our Estate Manager, Russell Dixon followed by a guided visit to the Great Fosters bee hives with our resident Bee Keeper.

Russell has worked at Great Fosters for over 25 years and will provide an interesting and entertaining tour of the gardens of the hotel. Then, once you are appropriately “suited and booted”, you will be taken to visit our bees and explain the fascinating and absorbing art of bee keeping.
