Join us for a fun-filled day of f-ant-astic activities at Sheffield Botanical Gardens, in collaboration with the University of Sheffield. This family-friendly event has something for everyone, whether it’s peering down a microscope, trying your hand at pond dipping, or feeding your creative side with insect-themed crafts!
Come and meet our entomologists and learn about their amazing research, from butterfly wing colouration, earthworm burrowing behaviour, to how insects cope with city life.
Entry is free and the event will be held from 10am – 4 pm at the Dorothy Fox Education Centre. We welcome all age groups, but children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
