Busy bees buzzing around town in the lead up to Rosh Hashanah will find wonderful honey- based products in the heart of Leeds with a visit to The Great Yorkshire Farm Shop nestled in the Corn Exchange, where Choc Affair honey milk chocolate, oat and honey biscuits, and floral acacia honey are readily available.

Kirkstall Abbey Gift Shop
One of the UK’s best-preserved Cistercian monasteries celebrates a deep history while stocking a fantastic range of gifts dedicated to supporting local and sustainable shopping. The gift shop’s peculiar supply of mead provides a slightly less conventional way to get your honey fix this Rosh Hashanah, using a fermented honey recipe produced in Britain since the 5th century AD. When served warm to release its crisp and velvety finish, it’s easy to see why this was the monk’s favourite tipple!
