Families will have the chance to explore the wildlife of Berrow Dunes this month with two hands‑on summer events led by local rangers, offering children the chance to discover minibeasts, butterflies and even a story‑themed adventure inspired by a much‑loved book.
The latest event, the Berrow Dunes Bug Bonanza, takes place on Thursday 6th August from 2.30pm to 4pm. Youngsters will be able to try sweep‑netting in the grassland and pond‑dipping to find as many minibeasts as possible before making their own seed‑bomb beasties from clay and natural materials gathered on the reserve. The session is recommended for children aged 3‑10 and costs £6.50 per child.
On Tuesday 18th August, from 11am to midday, the dunes will host a Stomping Story Walk inspired by Julia Donaldson’s The Snail and the Whale. Rangers will guide families through the sand dunes on an interactive story adventure, with playful activities along the way and beach‑themed arts and crafts to finish. The event is recommended for children aged 3‑7 and also costs £6.50 per child.
All children must be accompanied by a responsible adult, and booking is essential for each event.
