Bug Lab 2026 at Tiddenfoot

Our popular Bug Lab event returns to Tiddenfoot Waterside Park this summer.
Enter the wonderful world of minibeasts, take a closer look to discover tiny creatures on our sites and be inspired to look at home on your doorstep. Aimed at families (no previous experience or knowledge is required) or those wishing to improve their id skills. The Greensand Trust staff will be joined by members of the Natural History society who will share knowledge of wildlife. There will be equipment and guides you can borrow, microscopes to look more closely and lots of tips.
Location: Tiddenfoot Waterside Park, Leighton Linslade (based in the picnic area visible from the car park) please arrive on foot if you can.
- Booking essential - no turn ups on the day please!
- All children must be accompanied by an adult and be supervised throughout
- Suitable for age 5+ (underage siblings are welcome to accompany you and do not require a ticket but we ask that they do not participate)
- Please wear long sleeves, trousers and suitable footwear
- Outdoor event with little shelter
- No dogs please
- Stay for as long as you like during session
- While equipment and guides are provided, the session involves group work and sharing of materials
- Places are limited so you'll need to book - accompanying adults are free of charge so you only need to buy a ticket for each participating child at £3 each.
This event is kindly supported by Central Bedfordshire Council and the Bedfordshire Natural History Society.
