Bugs, Boots & Backpacks at Hever Castle

About

Looking for fun February half term activities with the kids? Bugs, Boots and Backpacks at Hever Castle is a hands-on outdoor adventure designed to get families exploring nature together.

Throughout February half term, children can become mini nature experts as they build bug hotels, create clay creatures and splash through the mud, in wellies. From collecting natural treasures to discovering how insects help our environment, this family-friendly event combines creativity, learning and outdoor play in the beautiful grounds of Hever Castle.

Wrap up warm, bring your backpack and pull on your wellington boots for a half term day out full of fresh air, discovery and messy fun. Activities are suitable for children of all ages and are included with general admission, unless stated otherwise.
