Let’s Be Bees

Meet the beekeeper, dress as a bee, make yourself some wings, grab a comb and paper for buzzing and then you can use the map to find the flowers hidden around the park. But watch out for the badgers !
When you return a hero the Queen Bee will reward you with bread and honey and a victory celebration.
Good luck. Brave bees.

‘I just wanted to write to say how brilliant the bee event was. We stumbled on it at the end of a hot day with a grumpy child and it totally transformed our afternoon! It was magical and funny, the flowers were so patient, and the whole thing changed the experience of the park so much that at one point my four year old son asked ARE WE REALLY BEES??”
