Farleigh Hospice
Farleigh Hospice provides compassionate care for people affected by life-limiting illness or bereavement in mid Essex. We help people live well, create meaningful moments, and stay connected to what matters most. Our care is only possible thanks to the generous support of our local community.
You could own this bee!
When the Buzz in the City art trail ends, you’ll have the opportunity to bid on our spectacular giant bee sculptures at a live auction – a unique chance to own a piece of art and local history, while raising much-needed funds for Farleigh Hospice.
Mini bees will be returned to the schools, clubs, care homes and community groups who decorated them to keep as a lasting memory of their participation in the art trail.
