Creepy Critters Halloween Workshop by ZooLab

'Creepy Critters' returns this Autumn at Bowood, so when you visit us, please book onto this workshop.  A must for Halloween.

Get up close and hands-on with real live animals at 'Creepy Critters', hosted by ZooLab UK.  Meet the likes of Snakes, Giant Snails, Tarantulas and more in this interactive show - the perfect addition to the spooky Halloween Holidays.

These fun 45 minute indoor workshops will give children insights into amazing creatures and their behaviour, including fun facts and the opportunity to hold one of them (if you are brave enough!).

Price £8.00 per child (with free entry into the workshop for one accompanying parent).  

The workshop is NOT included in normal House & Gardens Day Tickets, House & Gardens admission fees apply, a separate Day Ticket will need to be purchased to gain access into the House & Gardens for the workshop.
