The 2026 Honey Show:
Honey Show with Elaine Hargreaves
Ever wondered what separates a prize-winning jar from a perfectly nice one that scores nothing? This year, you get to find out, because the judge is going to leave feedback on every entry. We have retired the usual 1st, 2nd & 3rd awards and instead we’ll learn to be more skilful and everyone will help to decide the best-tasting honey and the most delicious cake.

We are pleased to welcome back Elaine Hargreaves - our judge of 2024. Elaine will lead the session, explaining her judging process as she goes. You will see exactly what she looks for in a winning entry. There is no better way to understand the standards required for liquid honey, wax, and crafts.

To help you get ready, Julie and Anne McClelland have written a series of guides. They cover the specific requirements for each class and offer practical hints to avoid common pitfalls.
