About

Drift to a hazy, lazy summer's day in June and delve into the tall grasses and native wildflower meadows on the Downs! What's hiding under those leaves and stems? Jack Weatherington, an enthusiastic entomologist (minibeast expert) will guide families as they sweep the meadows and shake the bushes and branches to release the secret underworld of the Downs. Using magnifying glasses and bug pots, kids can see what sensational species they've found!


Suitable for families with children aged 8 and above. Run as part of the Festival of Nature.

Tickets are £5.00 per child
