Bugs N Stuff
Hopetown is excited (and a bit nervous!) to welcome Bugs N Stuff this February half term!
Come along and meet some amazing insects, amphibians and reptiles. Learn about these weird and wonderful creatures, their habits and habitats, and maybe even hold one - if you dare!
Guy Tansley of Bugs N Stuff has been an expert in his field for more than 40 years, and has worked with CBBC, London Zoo, Northumberland College Zoo and the Hancock Museum, to name a few. His aim is to dispel the many myths surround creepy-crawlies, and get children curious - not nervous! - about his fascinating animals.
These workshops are aimed at children age 5+, though smaller children can take part with close supervision from their grown-ups! We ask for gentle hands and inside voices.
