Join us to discover the brilliant bugs, trees, birds and bees in Bristol’s parks this summer where our team of nature enthusiasts will be popping up to offer free activities. There will be minibeast hunting, bioblitzing, scavenger hunts and more! Please check the location of each event as some will be in the same park weekly and others will move around the city to reach as many families as possible. The activities are suitable for children aged 2 to 12 years old who need to be accompanied by an adult. All events are drop-in so can be attended at any time during the time advertised and all are completely free!
