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 extra special seasonal fun with the minibeasts before Christmas.
Hourly sessions are running over the first part of December to entertain your families, and your nature obsessed children.

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 get left out in the snow – assuming we actually get some this year.
 

The Great Bugfest Halloween Encounter – a spooktacular LIVE minibeast show and hands-on experience in Bugfest’s brand new Dorchester classroom.

The Great Bugfest Halloween Encounter!

This Halloween half-term, face your fears, spark your curiosity, and step into the wild side of Halloween!

Get up close to some of the world’s strangest and most extraordinary creatures, discover their amazing skills, colours, and survival tricks, and maybe even hold one, if you dare!

This 90-minute Halloween special show, lifted from Nick’s popular nation-wide wildlife stage shows, is educational, entertaining, and just the right amount of eerie — perfect for curious kids and brave families who love the wonders of nature.

Hosted by Bugfest, the multi-award-winning entomology experts who make learning about bugs unforgettable.

Spaces are limited – once they’re gone, they’re gone!
