Bugfest attended this great event on 4th September in support of The Levels children's centre, Langport which offer a variety of activities and courses for parents and their children. In addition to a Nursery, courses are offered on subjects such as breast feeding, helping young mums, a grandparent sessions and art workshops. The Bugfest tent was very popular and attracted lots of interest.


 

The next Bugfest will be held in February 2011. After two years of holding a bi-annual event we have decided to concentrate our efforts on a yearly show, bringing the best in creepy crawly fun to you. All details will be posted on this web site nearer the time, so keep checking us out!

 

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!
