Bug Hunt Weekend

Join us for a weekend full of family fun to celebrate Hull City Nature Challenge, in partnership with the team at East Park Animal Education Centre!

On the 25th & 26th April, come along for a weekend of outdoor exploration and curiosity– the perfect family outing for little explorers and grown‑ups alike!

Get hands‑on with nature by joining one of our pre‑bookable bug hunts, running at 11:30am and 1pm on both dates. Led by The Deep's friendly Guides and East Park Rangers, who know where the creepy‑crawlies love to hide! Search under logs, leaves, and stones to discover beetles, worms, woodlice and more, while learning fascinating facts along the way. Spaces are limited, so booking ahead on these is essential!

Prefer to explore at your own pace? Pick up our self‑guided park map from The Deep's stand and set off on a gentle adventure around the park. Follow the map and record your wildlife observations as you wander through beautiful green spaces.

Spend some time in nature and enjoy contributing to a wider citizen science project that's happening across the full weekend! Your records will help form part of the global City Nature Challenge, helping to gather vital data that supports conservation locally and around the world. 

Get involved by chatting to our friendly team on the day for more information and learn how to download the iNaturalist app to record your wildlife sightings!
