National Insect Week 23 – 29 June

It’s a bug’s life at Poltimore and we want to share it ! Come and explore these fascinating little creatures with our bee hives, ant hotels, mini trails and indoor activities with your little people.   National Insect Week is a celebration of the ‘little things that run the world’. This week-long celebration of minibeasts aims to quell the fear of insects to help people around the world understand their importance and role in our ecosystem. Who knew dragonflies have been on earth for 300 million years, or that a caterpillars have 12 eyes!! There’s so much to share and explore !

Please note that  Poltimore House and |Grounds are currently not open on Tuesdays and Wednesdays but we would love to see you between 10.00 and 3.30 during the rest of the week.
