Live bug handling for families
More information

Back by popular demand, the University of Plymouth’s incredible bug handling team is returning to The Box for a special end-of-summer session.

10.30am-12.30pm (last entries 12.15pm) and 1.30-3.30pm (last entries 3.15pm).

This is your chance to get up close to some amazing insects and learn all about their weird and wonderful ways. Discover and explore the fascinating world of live bugs as experts guide you through hands-on encounters.

You’ll also be able to see a special display of bugs from our own natural history collection that are usually tucked away safely in our stores!

Drop in session, no need to book.
