National Honey Day

Celebrate National Honey Day at Huddle Wimbledon with an Exclusive Rooftop Farm Tour on Thursday 22nd October at 1pm.

Join us at Huddle Wimbledon for a unique National Honey Day event as we celebrate the incredible world of bees, beekeeping and honey with an exclusive guided visit to The Rooftop Farm Wimbledon, located on top of Wimbledon Quarter.

This special experience offers the chance to step behind the scenes of our exciting urban farm, where sustainability, biodiversity and community come together high above the town centre.

Why We Celebrate National Honey Day

National Honey Day is a chance to celebrate one of nature’s sweetest creations while recognising the incredible work bees do every day.

From pollinating plants and crops to producing delicious honey, bees play a vital role in our ecosystems and food production. Our rooftop hives give us the opportunity to support local biodiversity while producing honey right here in the heart of Wimbledon.

It’s also a chance to learn more about beekeeping, understand how bees thrive in an urban environment and discover what goes into producing honey from hive to jar.

Discover The Rooftop Farm Wimbledon

Sitting above Wimbledon Quarter, The Rooftop Farm Wimbledon transformed unused rooftop space into a flourishing urban farm in 2022. Today, it produces a wide range of hyper-local food sold in local restaurants – and The Fire Station Café – while creating a greener future for Wimbledon.

The farm is also home to four thriving beehives housing around 40,000 bees, producing delicious Wimbledon honey each year.

During the event, you’ll meet Barnaby, our dedicated beekeeper, who looks after the rooftop hives and helps ensure our bees remain healthy and thriving throughout the seasons.

Barnaby will share insights into the fascinating world of beekeeping, explain how honey is produced and harvested, and reveal what it takes to keep bees happy and healthy in the heart of Wimbledon.

Book Your Place

Come along, meet the bees, explore the farm and celebrate National Honey Day with Huddle Wimbledon. Please meet at Huddle Fire Station Reception at 1pm, where guests will be escorted up to The Rooftop Farm.

Spaces are limited, so be sure to reserve your place early.

Please note that The Rooftop Farm Wimbledon is located on the roof of Wimbledon Quarter and access is via a metal staircase. As a result, with much regret, this event may not be suitable for everyone.
