The Spring Convention is a major event in the beekeeping calendar and probably Europe's biggest national beekeeping event. With more than 30 lectures from international and leading UK speakers and 40 workshops and courses during the 3 day event, there is something for everyone, expert, improver, beginner and non-beekeeper. Go to the Events Listing and Events Schedules for an overview of what's on offer and to plan your visit.

Tickets are now on sale through the BBKA On-line Shop and by post.

Read about the Lecture Programme and the Courses & Workshops. You need to pre-book most Courses & Workshops using the booking forms listed on the left of this page. Course fees are payable for many workshops and for 2013, it is now possible to pre-book places on those courses where previously booking was not possible, rather than just turning up on the day. Using the workshop reservation form and paying a £2 reservation fee for each of these workshops will secure your place. Places cannot be guaranteed unless pre-booked.

For many delegates it's not just the lectures but the Trade Show open on Saturday 13 April only, which is a big attraction. The main UK suppliers and leading overseas companies are represented in the 2500M2 Exhibition Halls. Exhibitors are listed here.

The Harper Adams campus offers on-site catering. All accommodation and pre-bookable meals are now sold out.
