About the event

Join us as we go on a bug hunt through the woodland. We’ll be turning over logs and shaking through leaf litter and using our special bug pots to get up close with the minibeasts who call the woodland home! 🐛🌿🍃

Please come dressed for the weather.  We recommend long sleeves and covered legs, even in hot weather, to protect against bites and stings.  No sandals or open-toed shoes, please. 

This event is suitable for all ages. Please kindly note that this is a family event and all attendees, including both adults and children, will require a ticket to attend. Advance booking is essential and children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Please allow time for parking, as we are unable to wait for late arrivals. 

Please note we are unable to have fires at Belfair's Woods due to restrictions imposed upon us by Southend Borough Council.

❗Toilets are available at the Nature Discovery Centre. For more details about site facilities, please visit the Belfairs information page – you'll find the link in the address section, just below the event title.
