Welcome to the Bugfest Jungle at Elderflower Fields 2025

We have some amazing displays ready to take your Elderflower experience to the next level of WOW!

We are bringing an amazing range of amazing exotic minibeasts for you to see, hold and learn about.

We are sure you have heard of the bullet ant, made world famous by the legendary, great Steve Backshall, and on Sir David Attenborough’s Planet Earth series.

It is the most painful stinging insect in the world!

You have probably seen them on TV.

There are only two colonies of these in the UK and ours is the largest and they will be at Elderflower Fields!

Until now, in a book, or on TV was the only place you would get to see them, this year, however, you will get to view them in person at ANTFEST Supplied and sponsored by Ants HQ – the UK’s leading ant supplier – go check out their web site

Check out our Mantisfest!

Face THE WALL OF SPIDERS

Hundreds of spiders from all around the world, all in naturalised environments for you to get up close to and see.

There will be stick insects over half a metre long, beetles, millipedes, cockroaches and more – all ready for you to get up close and personal to, and if you feel brave enough – have a go at holding them.

Tarantula handling is restricted to adults only in order to ensure safeguarding of children from the irritant hairs these spiders possess.
