So - who's ready to party with Bugfest?
The UK's number one
for animal entertainment!
Our minibeast parties are unlike any other!
Firstly, we are the UK’s most popular and PROFESSIONALLY QUALIFIED ANIMAL PARTY PROVIDERS.
When it comes to the new way of doing exciting, dynamic and exuberant animal parties, we invented it back in 2006.
We bring a larger range of minibeasts from all over the world to your party – some of which you will only have seen on television.
Our presenters between them carry a range of formally recognised highly coveted academic achievements:
PHd, teaching qualifications, BSc Hons in Zoology, BSc.Hons in Accredited Prior Learning, forest school, youth leadership, and Royal Fellowships (which are very hard to gain).
By booking with us, and not our competitors, you are helping us to provide our team with a REAL liveable income.
Our presenters are on £30 per hour, plus £30 per hour for their travel time and wear and tear on their vehicles.
We are looking for presenters nationwide – is this you? Do you know of someone that might be a great fit for us? If so, please send them HERE.
What is a bug party? How does it work?
Minibeast parties are interactive, hands-on experiences with real insects and invertebrates. As professional entertainers Bugfest offers tailored packages, or you can host your own with themed decorations and activities in your own home or a local hall.
Bugfest specialises in minibeast-themed parties, offering educational and engaging experiences. These often include:
Mobile Animal Encounters: Bugfest can bring a variety of minibeasts to your home or a hired venue.
Activities usually feature an educational talk and supervised handling sessions, with a special role for the birthday child.
Outdoor Woodland Parties: if the weather is fair, we can bring along our outdoor gazebo with a display of minbeasts, allowing you to host parties in outdoor settings.
Activities at an outdoor event can include bug hunting safaris, den building, nature-themed crafts, and campfires with marshmallows or hotdogs. These extra activities will have additional costs involved due to needing to bring in additional suppliers to provide them. These can be discussed and quoted individually according to your requirements.
Or you can visit us for a Venue-Based Party at our own facility, including access to extensive displays of minibeasts, handling sessions.
Animals involved typically include African land snails, millipedes, giant stick insects, Madagascan hissing cockroaches, beetles, tarantulas, and scorpions.

The standard home handling package
One hour of handling
FROM £166 + vat
Parties are quoted individually to cover staffing, travel and fuel and maintenance costs and all round travel time. £30 + vat per hour of travel or part thereof is applied to cover this and is paid directly to our presenters – we don’t keep this element, as a company we really care about and look after our team.
The handling party is an intimate experience which is none-the-less entertaining, with the usual silly anecdotes and all the Bugfest creatures in the comfort of your front room. This package is good for small groups of children, especially younger ones who might be timid around large and loud speakers in our bigger packages. It is brilliant value for money if you have a budget.
