A Celebration of Insects!
About this Event

** Please note, this is a free event and reservation is not required. Feel free to turn up on the day **

Come and join us for this year's annual Insect Show, hosted by Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire Entomological Society (DaNES).

Delve into the wonderful world of insects and their relatives through interactive displays, mounted specimens and live exhibits. A variety of wildlife conservation and natural history organisations will have stands and fascinating talks will be held throughout the day, with something to interest all ages and knowledge levels - from complete bug beginners to entomology experts!

So ... with plenty to see and do, and Markeaton Park nearby to explore for some late-season insect life ... why not come along and make a day of it!
This year's show will be held in the Atrium, Kedleston Road Campus, University of Derby.
