The Bee Friendly Skep Project

Attingham is pleased to display The Bee Friendly Skep Project, an exhibition of painted terracotta skeps from the Bee Friendly Trust.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Through an exhibition of painted terracotta skeps (traditional beehives), the Bee Friendly Trust hopes to start fresh conversations about the importance of bees and pollinators, and the need to create spaces to protect and nurture them.

The Bee Friendly Trust invited five female artists (Sarah Hoyle, Hattie Gordon, Alice Baker, Esther Rushton, Lucy Caddel, and the award-winning TV presenter Maddie Moate) to paint a terracotta skep each.

Visit the Bothy until Saturday 31 August to see the painted terracotta skeps and find out more about the Bee Friendly Trust.
