Dragonflies and Damselflies!
Marvel at their tiny bodies under the microscope and peer into the underwater world where Dragonfly nymphs live. Don't miss out on the opportunity to cut, stick and stencil some spectacular dragonfly-themed crafts. Dazzling dragonflies should be on the wing and the stunning nature reserve will be at your fingertips to give you inspiration! Shelters are in place for protection from the rain or sun.
