They can also meet local falconer Bob Edwards and his birds and take part in some craft activities. There will be a minibeast roadshow with snakes, spiders, lizards and creepy crawlies as well as ferret racing and falconry displays (11.30am and 2pm) and live beekeeping demonstrations (12.30pm and 3pm).

David Shilton, district councillor for parks and gardens said: “This is a very popular free event and we are delighted families can come along and enjoy the entertainment and learn about the importance of wildlife at the same time.”
