Free Easter holiday activity for families and children themed on wonderful worms!

Have a go at the noble art of worm charming! We will be testing various techniques to entice worms to the surface of the ground. We will also be digging a hole to see what kinds of worms we can find and find out about their vital role in keeping soil healthy.
2 to 3pm
Make our very own worm out of clay wit all the correct body parts (there’s a lot more to worms than you think!). Then create a pop sock worm and make it poo!
