Thurrock Through a Bee’s Eyes
Thursday 28 May 2026
(Half-Term)
1pm – 3pm
Join Buglife in the Kinetika Natural Dye Garden for a playful and informative afternoon inviting us to see Thurrock through a bee’s eyes.
Together we’ll explore the garden and surrounding green spaces at High House Production Park, learning how bees and other insects experience their environment and why these habitats matter. Participants will take part in a bug hunt, discover the insects that call the park home, and make their own bee hotel to support local wildlife.
This relaxed, hands-on event is designed for families and anyone curious about nature, conservation and the small creatures that keep our ecosystems thriving.
Suitable for: This event is for all ages and suitable for families
