Backyard Bugs

Backyard Bugs is a show which focuses on the world of mini beasts. Three groups of bugs are investigated during the show - Myriapods, Insects and Arachnids.

We explore their defining features and amazing abilities, where they live and the role of bugs in the environment. The show is totally interactive and allows children to hold and touch many different bugs in a safe and exciting way. So get ready for a lot of laughing and screaming!
