Which beetle has a blaster on its bottom? Which minibeast is barely the size of a full stop? Which eight-legged hunter has fangs as big as a cheetah's claws?

Join poet Simon Mole and musician Gecko for a family show full of poems, raps and songs all about your favourite creepy crawlies (and some you haven’t heard of yet!).

A fun and interactive invitation to explore the secret world beneath our feet. As well as being brilliantly beautiful, delightfully disgusting and wonderfully weird, the show is an inspirational call to action to appreciate the smaller creatures in our world. Expect Minibeasts and Massive Beats. Every tune is an earworm - even the ones about woodlice!

The performances are free, but due to limited space booking is essential.

Recommended for children aged 4-11 years and their families.
