About

Bring the kids to this family event where you can borrow a bug hunting kit and see what creatures call the meadow home before returning to the Nature Discovery Centre to have a go at a nature based craft.

Please come along to the Nature Discovery Centre any time between 10:30am-12:30pm. We will have staff and volunteers available during the 2 hours but we anticipate the activities will take approximately 45 minutes - 1 hour.

No need to book but please pay in the Nature Discovery Centre before collecting a bug hunt or craft kit.
