Ugly Bug Ball at Coventry Charterhouse
Bring your puppet creations and join a playful outdoor celebration of bugs, blooms and spring.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
Join us for the Ugly Bug Ball in Charterhouse’s potager garden - a lively, family-friendly celebration of spring, inspired by the tiny creatures that help our gardens grow.
Come along with your creepy crawly puppet (made in our drop-in workshops) or simply join in the fun as we dance through the flowerbeds to live music. This relaxed outdoor event is all about movement, imagination and celebrating pollinators, from bees to beetles.
Led by Flawed Mandrake Theatre, the session invites children and families to take part in a joyful, informal “bug parade” through the garden.
