HUNDREDS of people flocked to the Conwy Honey Fair yesterday (September 13), with an almost record breaking honey stall turnout.

The Honey Fair dates back more than 700 years, to the Royal Charter of King Edward I, who first conquered Wales.

Having endured a three-year pause due to the pandemic, the Fair returned to the town last year.

This year’s event saw 27 honey stalls selling their produce, just three shy of last year’s record number, with several of these new beekeepers.

With around 48 other stalls selling local produce, arts and crafts, plants, and promoting environmental causes, huge crowds soaked up the good weather at the day event.

Organiser Peter McFadden of the Conwy Beekeepers said: “We had a fabulous Conwy Honey Fair with wonderful weather.

“Conwy was packed with visitors all day - we had great feedback from visitors and shopkeepers. 

“The Honey Fair is a terrific privilege for the beekeepers and other stallholders.”

The event raised a record £1,300 for Bees for Development, an international charity working to alleviate poverty through beekeeping.
