A second chance for you and your children to hunt for mini beasts together at Rushmere.

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: car park charges apply, the event will take place on the bottom meadow near the causeway, please park near the visitor centre and walk down using the footpath. If the weather is suitable (not wet), parking will be possible in the bottom meadow but payment must be made at the Visitor Centre before leaving.
