Honey is available here at Mrs Pawsons!

Read all about the process below 🐝🍯

Discover the sweet reward of nature’s craftsmanship with honey produced by the Leeds Beekeepers Association 🐝

The honey is much more than a delicious natural product! It’s a reflection of a thriving, responsible beekeeping community. The bees will typically travel around 3 miles from their hive meaning nectar from many of the flowers you have seen whilst walking in the Temple Newsam estate will be included in each jar 🍯

This means that no two years’ honey is the same with each jar reflecting the landscape in which it was made 🌸

Once the bees have capped the honey, the beekeepers remove it from the hive, carefully extract and filter it before placing it in jars.

The honey is available here at Mrs Pawsons! An ideal souvenir for visitors or a meaningful gift that supports local nature.

Ey up ducks, it’s Open Farm Sunday this weekend and we’re joining in! We will be opening the gates to our historic working farmstead on Sunday to welcome you in for free.

Come and get stuck into the sights, sounds and stories of real farm life - past and present - right here at Home Farm. Meet our rare and native breeds up close, wander through centuries‑old barns and byres, and discover how food, land and people have always been connected.

Follow our interactive trail to uncover what life was like for farm and estate workers back in the day, and explore traditional tools and machinery that kept the place running long before tractors and tech took over.

Come along on Sunday, stretch your legs, meet the animals and enjoy a proper day out on the farm.

* Please note: The Playbarn is not included in the free entry but you can buy tickets on the day.
