COALHOUSE Fort in East Tilbury is calling for all small gumshoes to bring their gumboots ready to take part in a half term Bug Detectives showdown on Wednesday 27 and Thursday 28 May.
Creating artistic collages with materials found during the day, inspections of mini beasts, exploring habitats and chasing bumble bees are just a few of the activities the family can enjoy at one of Thurrock’s most popular half term destinations.
Mini Investigators should assemble at the entrance at Coalhouse Fort at 10am before taking off to two separate habitat sites, woodland and grassland finishing up around 12pm.
The fort is recognised widely for its ecological importance and boasts a number of interesting inhabitants including the protected water vole and many species of bumble bee.
Places – at £5 each – are limited, so to avoid disappointment book your tickets through the Thameside box office telephone line on 0845 300 5264.
