If you’re looking for something FREE and SAFE to do this Spring and over the Easter Holidays in Doncaster, we have created a big community bug hunt for families to take part in at various locations across the borough!
The Bug Hunt will run from 15th March – 12th April 2021, and you’ll meet Dennis the Detective Bee, who LOVES to follow clues and solve puzzles to help his friends.
Dennis will need your help to solve a particularly tricky case.
We’re lucky that Doncaster has plenty of parks, playgrounds, woodlands and green spaces and Spring is a perfect time to go on an adventure outdoors. Hopefully more sunshine is on the way! We’re delighted to be setting the trail up in multiple parks and woodlands across Doncaster between 15th March-12th April, or you’ll be able to set up your own trail at home or in your educational/childcare setting.
Be sure to sign up for our newsletter here and keep an eye on our social media pages (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram). We’ll also have LOADS of resources and activities available for you to download to do at home too. Join in and use the #BUGHUNTDN to share your photos with us!
The interactive trail, supported by Visit Doncaster, Get Doncaster Moving and Hungry Little Minds will be a great opportunity to get outside in your local area, entertain kids of all ages and enjoy the first signs of Spring, safely as a family.
Will you be able to help Dennis? I hope so!
