Join us in the Greenhouse this winter for Minibeast Mansions.

You will learn about how insects and minibeasts behave in winter, where they might find shelter, avoid predators and raise their young in a hands-on activity. Then you can use this learning to build a bug hotel to take home!  

This is a drop-in activity. No need to book - check the Greenhouse/foyer noticeboard for times on the day.
