About the event

Grasshoppers and crickets belong to the insect order Orthoptera. Join us as we learn about their habits, habitats and what makes them so special.

Please note that this is a children's event and each family group must have at least one adult attending. Adults do not need to book a ticket. One accompanying adult per paying child is free of charge but any additional adults who are non-members will need to pay the nature reserve entry fee at the visitor centre, on the day (£5 standard entry/£5.50 with Gift Aid).
