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
Hopefully it won’t give you a nightmare before the big day.
So, while you are all waiting with baited breath for the details – a funky poster is in development, we are keeping the fun going with some daytime activities for you.
Introducing:
Bugfest Bug-tots.
A delightful little session where you can bring the little ones along who are not yet in school or preschool to enjoy our creepy crawlies, we have even given you adults a bit of a discount to encourage you along – you will enjoy the bugs just as much as you find out all about them and what they do for us humans.
