The buzz-tastic bee balancing blundershow

You've heard of a flea circus, but have you heard of a bee circus? Come along to the Kitchen Garden on Saturday 18 May for a buzz-tastic bee balancing family friendly musical show. You'll want to bee there!

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Buzzing to know more?

Come to the Kitchen Garden and experience one of nature’s most buzz-tastic creatures, the humble bee with this family friendly musical show.

Born out of a passion for platforming the unheard voices of bees and the struggles of a Romanian migratory parent to find his community, this new, educational family-friendly musical is designed to bring diverse communities together and inspire young people to engage with environmental action.

It tells the story of Albina, the Romanian Bee, who travels to The Bee Circus and meets a variety of bees, learning about all of their special talents and discovering his own along the way. It is highly interactive, with chances to learn a waggle dance, meet the bees up -lose and join in with a pollination demonstration!

Shows last for approximately 50 minutes and start at 11.30 am and 1.30pm in the Kitchen Garden, opposite the play area.

This is a free interactive performance so prepare to bee involved. Please note no seating provided and will require scanning of your membership card or purchase of a ticket at Visitor Reception.
