The Hiver Experience (urban beekeeping and beer tasting) - Bookings & Tickets 2020

Budding beekeepers and beer tasters, welcome to The Hiver Experience 2020!

COVID-19  update: to ensure the safety of our guests and staff, we will be delaying the start of our season to 1st August 2020.

If you would like to purchase tickets for a specific date or if you have a gift voucher to redeem then you're in the right place - please see details at the bottom of this page. If you'd like to buy a gift or e-voucher then take another look in the product list.

After a sell-out fourth season and rave reviews from the amazing folk at Time Out, The Nudge and more, the Hiver Experience is back for Spring/Summer 2020.

The two-hour session starts with a short introduction to Bees and Beekeeping in the city, the equipment and tools commonly used by Beekeepers as well as a first glimpse inside the hive. We'll then get suited and booted ready for a Hive inspection and the chance to help our resident beekeeper in handling the frames and checking the health of the Hive. After the fun of getting up close and personal with the 'Ladies', we'll relax over a tutored beer and food matching session before leaving you to explore the rest of Bee Urban and answer any questions you might have. 

If you can not select the right amount of attendees for the session you wish to book, it means there is not enough space available, in that case, please choose an alternative date and time.
E-tickets are not sent automatically and will be generated and sent out within 48 hours.

Groups are of no more than twelve people per session and in the case of really wet or cold weather, we'll focus on inspecting the exhibition hive, working with the Beekeeping tools to build frames and/or working with the by-products of the hive. Please note this product is only suitable for over 18's and it is not for people with a known bee allergy. There is a safety disclaimer that we ask you to sign on the day of your Experience and before taking part in the activities.

The 2020 season runs from 1st August until 19th September, and the 2021 season will start on 17th April 2021 and will end on 20th September 2021 (all dates will be made available further into the year). Our experience is taking place at Bee Urban, located in Kennington Park, a short walk from Oval Station.
