HEAD off the beaten track to Holwell near Sherborne tomorrow (Saturday) for the Christmas opening at Honeybuns' eccentric Bee Shack Cafe where you can enjoy a warm welcome, tasty cakes and warming drinks, including mulled wine, and a Christmas stocking-full of festive treats.

The popular new range of enamel tins and hessian shopping bags will be on sale - ideal as Christmas gifts. Lots of Honeybuns' customers are making up Dorset Hampers and the tins go perfectly with them.

There will be carols from 3-4pm, and the Christmas lights will be switched on among the real live Christmas trees at 4pm. Honeybuns' donkeys, Joaney, Meg and Tash will all be there too. Do come and meet them. (If it is very cold Joaney may have to sit this one out- she is 42 years old after all!).

And finally...there is a hamper to take home if you can win the "Guess the weight of the hamper" competition!

This is the last Bee Shack day until March but you can always visit Honeybuns online shop if you miss this last 2008 open day. Bee shack proceeds go to Honeybuns' Bee Green initiative - details on www.honeybuns.co.uk/beegreen.
