Bug Detectives

Meet some of the Environment Centre’s resident insects and other mini-beasts at a fun bug show, then test out your detective skills on a short walk investigating bugs and their habitats. What will we find living nearby? Join this one-of-a-kind school holiday activity to discover fascinating facts about bugs and other mini-beasts and find out why these amazing animals are nature’s superheroes!

Requirements: Arrive 10 minutes before starting time to check in with staff at the Environment Centre. All children must be accompanied and directly supervised by an adult. Wear sun-safe clothing and fully enclosed shoes. Bring insect repellent and sunscreen for later outdoor use if required, but please ensure you don’t have any on your hands when meeting or touching our friendly bugs! Bring water and a snack if required as there are no food outlets on site.

Note: This event will go ahead in light rain. Events are subject to weather and environmental conditions and may be cancelled on the day.
