On Tuesday 14th February, BugzUK will be setting up a temporary invertebrate zoo in the Quarter giving visitors the opportunity to have a close encounter with a whole range of creepy crawlies, minibeasts and insects, including tarantulas and scorpions.

Gemma Hyde, Marketing & Administration Manager at Castle Quarter says; “If you find insects fascinating, then please join us at our Love Bugs event at Castle Quarter this Valentine’s Day. Taking place on the Tuesday of half-term, it’s free to attend and for all ages.

If you love bugs, and want to have a personal encounter with insects, spiders, scorpions, this event is especially for you!”
Martin French owner of BugzUK Parc adds: “We hope that handling some of our amazing tropical creatures at Castle Quarter will make you brave enough to visit our bug parc to see hundreds of unusual creatures.”
