The joys of Bug keeping will be coming soon to Bucklers Mead Sports centre when the Bugfest team open their doors for the fifth time on 20th February 2010 at 11.30 am. As well as the usual Bug stalls there will be a climbing wall for children, a cafe, breeders to meet and an amazing array of BUGS!

What is Bugfest?
Bugfest is an entomological (creepy crawly) exhibition held at Bucklers Mead Sports Centre, Yeovil, where traders from across the country exhibit, sell and offer advice on invertebrates from crabs to stick insects. There are also lots of other stalls including those selling books, crafts, insect housing and children's craft stalls. There is also a children's 'spot the bug' quiz with small prizes to be won!
Smaller workshops are regularly held during school holidays which are primarily aimed at children who can come and meet Nick and his collection of bugs, ask questions and handle insects. Nick also visits schools and groups to talk about his ever growing collection of creatures.

Who runs Bugfest?
Bugfest consists of a husband and wife team, Nick and Kara Wadham, ably assisted by family, friends and volunteers, who decided to bring the creepy crawly world to Somerset. The popularity of the first event was a complete surprise as 1000 visitors attended. Now Bugfest is going from strength to strength, drawing notoriety and attention to the South West!
