Learn how to make a bug hotel that you can take home with you on 24 and 25 July 2025

Book in for one of our bug hotel making workshops with volunteer Graham. The workshop is a drop-in session and it will take around 15 mins for you to complete your bug hotel. You can arrive any time between 11.00 and 2.15pm.

Graham will show you how to put together your own bug hotel using a variety of natural products such as bark, bamboo, pine cones and twigs. 

All materials are provided including bug hotel structure, natural products, chicken wire and gloves to wear.
