Bugfest returns to the Garden on 30th October with an exciting indoor experience for families and curious minds of all ages in the Theatre.
Enjoy The Wild and Deadly Show – an action-packed, family-friendly live performance that’s currently touring major UK holiday parks and theatres across the UK.
Expect plenty of “wow” moments as you come face-to-face with some of the world’s most fascinating minibeasts. Packed with amazing animal encounters, bite-sized science and fascinating facts, the show celebrates the incredible role these often-overlooked creatures play in keeping our planet healthy. It’s educational, entertaining and full of fun, with an important conservation message that’s engaging and accessible for audiences of all ages.
Presented by an elected Fellow of the Royal Entomological Society, former teacher and teacher trainer, professional presenter and entertainer, and member of Equity. With more than 20 years’ experience in science education and live performance, he brings a wealth of knowledge, enthusiasm and humour to every show, making the fascinating world of insects and invertebrates both memorable and inspiring for the whole family.
Between performances, the Bugfest team will be on hand with an extraordinary collection of exotic minibeasts, giving visitors the chance to get up close to these incredible creatures and safely handle many of them.
