Honey Crafting

I booked this for my husband and I and it was well worth it! For starters it was just the two of us who participated in the activity and the guy leading it was so nice, friendly and knowledgeable. We both made a mix of goodies (well worth the money) and we had lots of input in the design, smells and flavors. The products all turned out great and we had a big bag to take home with us, we made so many soaps we ended up gifting them to friends and family who were really impressed with the quality. Highly recommend and the cake here is really good too.

If you like bees, then Buzzstop is for you! This was such a great activity, with some amazing take away products that I will be using for months to come.

Highly recommend

Initially, the other three people in my group weren't super interested in the experience. However, afterwards everyone enjoyed it! You get a choice to make three different products with the beeswax. I made a lip balm, soap and beeswax wraps. I would definitely recommend this - even the teenage boy in our group found it cool to make the different products.

Chill activity

Chill and quick activity in a mice cafe setting. I was the only person doing this experience, staff was attentive, explained the steps carefully, came out with 3 honey products to take home (jar of lip balm, beeswax cloth, 3xsoap pieces). Cute experience to chill. Enjoy some cafe food and browse the shop items.
