Join us for some family fun this October half term at our bug crafting drop-in sessions for all the family.
Discover some of the secretive autumn residents of Wentworth Castle Gardens and either make a bug inspired by the creatures you could find, or invent and design your very own bug to live in the gardens.
Call into the Blackbourn room in the conservatory building between 11am & 3pm. The sessions are free, but donations are welcome to help us run more workshops like this in the future.
Why not continue your adventure throughout the gardens and parkland? Can you find some real life creepy crawlies, scuttle like a bug around our nature play space or join our Little Nature Detective trail around the fernery. Please see separate event listing for more details on the autumn trail.
