Welcome to our events page

We have planned some pretty awesome seasonal events for you to take advantage of this Year.

Halloween was a blast and we had some serious creepy crawly fun, and now – we are already putting together the next event:

A Bugfest Before Christmas 

The fun begins once more at Bugfest Central in the bug room Trinity House Trinity Street Dorchester.
 
After the success of the Halloween half term event, we thought, let’s have some more seasonal fun.
 
We are running one hour sessions over the first part of December to entertain you, your families, and especially your nature obsessed children, and for those of you stuck for ideas on insett day on the 19th – we are open ALL DAY – YAY.
 
You can choose your session times and dates below.
 
Enjoy the wonders of nature, not on a TV screen, but right in front of you in the Bugfest Bug Room this Christmas, in an audience participatory learning experience that is designed and delivered for all ages of the family.
 
We have Bugfest Bugtots running in the morning, which is a much more relaxed experience for those under four, and the Bugfest family shows run throughout the rest of the day.
 
BUT… places are limited to fifteen people at a time, and with the Halloween sessions selling out, you don’t want to miss all the fun and be left out in the snow
