Humble Bee Farm’s ‘Bucket List’
Humble Bee Farm is the family-run working farm which has its very own bucket list of things to do.
We offer camping, glamping and holiday cottages near Scarborough and Filey.
We offer a buzzing list of things to do which can be your bucket list in 2026!
Hire a Camp Fire
Whatever accommodation you’re staying in – luxury or standard cabins, bell tents, geodomes, camping, lodges and deluxe cabins with hot tubs or our holiday cottages – hire one of our fabulous firepits for the evening!
The hire price includes your very own fire pit, wood and firelighters – all you need to bring is a lighter or a box of matches.
There is nothing more enjoyable than gathering around a fire bowl at the end of a perfect day.
Smores Kits
We save you the hassle of remembering to bring all the items for a smores kit – you can purchase our own smores kits which include all the items you need, and some instructions if you’re a first-time user!
Meet the Animals
As working farm, our very own Farmer Percy takes you on his feeding round at 9am every day.
Join Farmer Percy as he checks and feeds the farmyard gang: hens, donkeys, micropigs, alpacas, Tilly the Shetland Pony, sheep, guinea pigs and more.
Meet Tilly, Our Spirited Shetland Pony
Tilly is a firm favourite of the farmyard gang.
Tilly is a Shetland Pony and has the temperament to match!
You can enquire at Humble Bee Farm’s reception and see if you can book a walking slot with her.
Enjoy Drinks and Food Prepared by our Team
Being on holiday means you can also take a break from meal preparation!
The Hive café bar is our onsite, takeaway food eaterie.
From robust breakfast butties to farm-themed burgers, hot drinks to cocktails, children and adults can order food and watch the farmyard gang as your food and drinks are freshly prepared while you wait.
Our pizza nights are often a sell-out: if there is a pizza night taking place during your stay with us, you will receive details about a week before.
So we can provide the best possible food to you, our pizza nights operate a pre-order service. This means you can relax once you’ve placed your order, as we often sell out.
Enjoy The Great Outdoors
Humble Bee Farm is surrounded by the Yorkshire Wolds, and we have three farm walks onsite.
Choose from a short, medium and a longer stroll, so there is something for everyone.
You can walk to Filey along the Yorkshire Wolds Way (be sure to arrange transport back to Humble Bee Farm) too.
Stargaze, Moon Watch and Cloud Spot
There is a saying, that the best things in life are free!
Well, here at Humble Bee Farm, once you’re here, there is plenty of free things to do and stargazing, moon watch and cloud spotting are all a must.
We are tucked away in a secret valley and above us there are huge skies.
The stars at night are spectacular and who knows, you might even see the Northern Lights!
The moon is a welcome night sky companion, and as we enjoy clear skies, you can see the moon in all her glory.
While you perhaps don’t always think about it, the clouds in the sky are always changing and always spectacular.
See a Lamb Being Born
We host our lambing weekends usually March and early April each year.
Seeing a lamb being born is a truly magical experience for children and grown-ups alike.
You can stay as a guest or join us for the day, subject to availability.
Carve a Pumpkin
When the nights draw in and Halloween is on the horizon, we host our very own pumpkin festival in October.
Tickets sell very fast and include an undercover barn with tables, chairs and carving kit provided; a farm-themed pumpkin patch; photo opportunities; a friendly Halloween guest to help with the fun; music; and access to the indoor and outdoor play areas and The Hive café bar.
More details to follow soon.
Enjoy a Private Fireworks and Bonfire Display
This sell-out event is held on the Saturday nearest Bonfire Night and is a firm favourite.
Book to stay with us, purchase your tickets and you will enjoy a huge bonfire, spectacular fireworks display and access to The Hive café bar.
More details to follow soon.
Meet Santa Claus
In December, our farm barns are transformed into a festive wonderland and Santa Claus, along with other guests, help you get into the Christmas spirit.
More details to follow soon.
Explore the Reflection Garden
The Reflection Garden is a quiet space which guests can enjoy and take some time to themselves.
The area includes beautiful plants, flowers and shrubs; sit on one of our giant chairs; watch the wildlife including birds, butterflies, dragonflies and more as they enjoy the peace and quiet.
Head to the Beach
Humble Bee Farm is blessed with its location.
We have many beaches a short drive away.
These include Filey Beach and Filey Brigg; Cayton Bay; Bridlington; Scarborough’s North and South Bays; Hunmanby Gap, Reighton Sands; Flamborough Head and Speeton Beach.
You can buy buckets and spades in our onsite Shop and Reception at Humble Bee Farm.
A word to help with your safety: always, always check the tides and weather.
Enjoy Your Very Own Hot Tub!
Two of our cottages, our three lodges and four deluxe cabins each have their own hot tub!
Your hot tub is yours and yours alone if you’ve confirmed your booking with us.
Enjoy a Digital Detox
While we offer WiFi for our guests (tariffs apply) a lot of our visitors relish the fact there is no phone signal!
There is a signal near the entrance to Humble Bee Farm, yet on the main site you can relax in the knowledge that you are away from digital interruptions! .
Stay with Friends and Family
If you book in good time, and talk to our friendly team, you can make a group booking at our peaceful place!
Our site lends itself to group stays, with all accommodations either adjacent to each other, or a very short distance away.
We also have excellent communal facilities, including The Smokehouse BBQ Hut (hire tariff applies), two toilet and shower blocks, fresh water taps dotted around the site, an indoor and outdoor play area, and a parking space per accommodation unit.
As with all group stays, term, conditions and some restrictions apply.
