A day of sweet fun is promised at the annual Callington Honey Fair on Saturday (September 28) which promises to be bigger and better than ever.

Organised by Callington Lions, the event (from 10am to 5pm), offers lots of buzzing family fun with the overall theme of celebrating the magic of honey.

A Lions spokesman said: “We’re excited to invite everyone to Honey Fair 2024, where we will once again be bringing fun and entertainment to our local community. Please join us for this fabulous event for a wide range of attractions which should appeal to everyone.”
