Spiders aren't so scary: Fri 17 and Sat 18 October

Discover the eight-legged wonders of Morden Hall Park

  • Booking essential

Think spiders are spooky? Think again! Join us for a fascinating and family-friendly adventure where we’ll uncover the secret lives of these misunderstood mini-beasts.

Led by our friendly nature guides, you’ll learn all about the incredible world of spiders—from their clever web designs to their important role in the ecosystem. Then, head out on a gentle guided walk* through the park to see how many different spiders you can spot hiding among the leaves, trees, and undergrowth.

Whether you're a curious kid, a hesitant adult, or a full-blown arachnophile, this event is a great way to replace fear with fascination.

Come along and see why spiders really aren’t so scary after all!
