We are both delighted and excited to announce a new development for The Beekeeping Show 2026.
In addition to show day itself, we will be staging a unique event at Telford International Centre the evening before the trade show – a live UK exclusive.
Since starting his YouTube channel back in 2017, A Canadian beekeeper's Blog, commercial beekeeper Ian Steppler has shared his own unique perspective on beekeeping with others worldwide, amassing over 90,000 subscribers and 35+ million views of his channel content.
Running order for the evening:
19.00 Doors open
19.30 Ian on stage
20.30 Interval
20.45 Q&A with Ian
21.30 Show ends
Bar for refreshments before the show and during the interval.
To celebrate Ian Steppler's appearance at The Beekeeping Show, we have commissioned potter Toni Hedley to produce a limited edition signature coffee mug. These hand-crafted stoneware items are produced in Shropshire, local to the show venue. They can be ordered only in advance and collected from the event or on show day itself.
The high-quality design is part-glazed to echo this year's show colour and the clay is stamped with The Beekeeping Show logo and Ian Steppler's signature before firing.
Orders for mugs can be placed via the tickets page up until 9 January 2026.
350 ml capacity; dishwasher and microwave safe; stoneware clay.
