May half term at Trerice

Pebbles painted with bees sitting in boxes in the sun

As spring leads to summer and the days grow longer May half term arrives at Trerice and we’ll be celebrating the humble bee that keeps the garden gorgeous.

Tick off one of your '50 things'

There are opportunities to tick off one or two of your ’50 things to do before you’re 11¾’ during the week when we’ll be making homes for wild animals on 23 and 24 May and some wild art on 30 and 31 May.

Alongside activities planned throughout the half term week there’ll be a bee themed trail to help you learn more about pollinators and their role in the Trerice garden as well as the garden at home.
