Members of Conwy BKA have organized Conwy’s 700-year old Royal Charter Fairs every year since 1990. The Seed Fair and the Honey Fair have grown into major events again, attracting very large crowds of visitors to the town.
Please see Stallholder Information and Visitor Information pages, and our history of the Honey Fair.
We wish to thank Conwy County Borough Council, Conwy Town Council, Conwy Chamber of Trade and the residents of Conwy town for their support.
Conwy Seed Fair, Tuesday 26th March 2013, 9am to 4pm
Plant stalls, seeds, home produce and local crafts in the High Street and Lancaster Square.
Conwy Honey Fair, Friday 13th September 2013, 9am to 4pm
Conwy has a very long association with honey and beekeeping. The Conwy Honey Fair takes place in the High Street and Lancaster Square every 13th September (or 14th September if the 13th is a Sunday). The Honey Fair is an opportunity for beekeepers to sell their honey, and for the public to meet beekeepers, talk about bees, and buy local honey and hive products, including beeswax candles, beeswax polish and honey soaps. Plus… plant stalls, home produce, and local bee-related crafts; and Conwy Farmers’ Market on the Quay.
The 2013 Honey Fair is on a Friday, and the 2014 Fair will be on a Saturday.
Why not make a weekend of it? There are plenty of nice places to stay in Conwy.

Ffair Fêl Conwy
Mae perthynas Conwy â gwenynwyr yn mynd yn ôl ganrifoedd. Mae Ffair Fêl Conwy a gynhelir bob blwyddyn ar Stryd Fawr Conwy, ar y 13eg o Fedi, yn gyfle i wenynwyr werthu eu mêl ac i’r cyhoedd gyfarfod â’r gwenynwyr a phrynu mêl lleol a chynnyrch y cychod gwenyn megis canhwyllau, cwyr dodrefn a sebon a wnaed o gwyr gwenyn.
Mae gan Ffair Fêl Conwy siarter ers 700 mlynedd ac fe’i sylfaenwyd gan Edward I. Mae’r gwenynwyr lleol yn gwerthu oddeutu tunnell o fêl erbyn amser cinio. Ni chodir tâl am stondin. Yn ogystal â’r stondinau mêl, mae yno hefyd grefftau, planhigion a chynnyrch lleol. Mae nifer o atyniadau o fewn tref gaerog Conwy, sydd yn Safle Treftadaeth y Byd.
Hi, I live in Dyserth, Denbighshire and last year I was only told of Conwy’s Honey Fair from a Bee Keeper I know.
Why didn’t I know this before last year, advertising is abismal around the N.Wales area, I know more about Bath and the London attractions than what is going on in WALES.
Please keep us, the people in Wales informed so we can help and support our local events and preserve our “little” bit’s of Wales.
Thankyou
John.
Thanks for your valuable comments John. If you google North Wales events, the Conwy Honey Fair is shown as a major event on the home page, with a hyperlink to our website. There are many pages of links to the Honey Fair. We get terrific numbers of people at the event.
We send out lots of posters to post offices, garden centres, caravan parks, libraries etc. We send info to local papers.
We’d welcome your suggestions on how we can reach more people.
Conwy town is buzzing with events this year. Just google conwyevents for details, including the Conwy Feast, now the biggest food event in Wales.
The Conwy Honey Fair is always on 13th September. hope to see you here this year.
Hi
Who do I contact to obtain a stall at the next Honey FFair.
I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THE FAIR,
i`am intrested in keeping bees, at home and if i can get on with them in the grounds of a water treatment plant, lots of plants for them, would like to know more, please send contact
Hallo Terry,
Thanks for your message. Where do you live? Most places are covered by local beekeepers’ associations, who will be glad to help you.
My daughter loves honey! I am sure many schoolchildren do. So wy on earth do you hold yu Conwy honey fair on a Thursday, finishing at 4.00, during term, so that children cannot attend?
Thanks for your message. The date of the Conwy Honey Fair is laid down in the Royal Charter of Edward 1st, dating back over 700 years. It is always held on 13th September, unless this is a Sunday, in which case it is held on 14th September. We have enquired about changing the date. This would require an act of parliament.
The 2013 Fair is on Friday 13th September, and the 2014 Fair is on Saturday 13th September. Hope we will see you then!
We will also be at the Conwy Feast on Sat/Sun 27th and 28th October 2012, during our half term holiday week. This is one of the biggest Food and Drink events in Wales, and well worth a visit. See us in the Bees and Trees tent.
What’s the date of the Seed Fair in March 2013 please?
Tuesday 26th March
How do I get a stall pls

I know it’s a bit late to ask, but are there any disruptions to the fair due to the bad weather? Hope it’s still on and see you tomorrow!
No problem in Conwy with the weather. We are expecting a dry, sunny, cold and busy day. See you tomorrow!
I sell Eco Friendly Products and was wondering if I would be able to have a stall at the Conwy Honey Fair please?
What sort of products please? Do you produce them?
We do ask that stalls should be relevant to the theme of the event ie. Bees and honey
