Damien Barber

Damien is well known in the folk world as a performer and producer, but perhaps less well known as a beekeeper! He has recently become the beekeeping lead for our sister project, Telling the Bees, and has recently begun his new project 'Pure Honey - Raw Folk' which combines his love of music and beekeeping. Check out his Patreon here

​

This year you'll mostly find him in The Hive, which is on the Putting Green along with lots of other family activities. Damien will be hosting drop-in sessions where you can meet our bees in the observation hive and taste some of the honey they've produced this year. He'll also be hosting singarounds, workshops, and share some stories from the past year of Telling the Bees. Grab a Family Festival programme for the full timetable.
