Uncover the creepy crawly world of minibeasts this Halloween at the Eden Project

The Halloweden activities will take visitors on a deep dive into the extraordinary world of critters great and small, including magnificent minibeast shows, a mega-beast safari and a marvellous bug fair.

Eden Project visitors can meet real-life bugs from around the world, including Chilean tarantulas, giant African snails and Asian forest scorpions, courtesy of ethical educators ZooLab.

The bug fair will showcase a world of minibeast marvels, including slimy snail racing, sticky spider slingshots and teeny tiny crafts.

Fearless explorers can embark on a tropical mega-beast safari through the Rainforest Biome, following a trail into a magical world of not-so-mini beasts.

Throughout the safari there are opportunities to encounter gigantic critter sculptures by Studio ROOF, which bring the weird and wonderful world of Earth’s small creatures to life amongst the jungle canopy.

Alongside the Halloweden programme, October half term also sees the return of the Eden Project’s ice rink, where guests can skate in a magical, setting. 

Kate Francis, the Eden Project’s live producer, said: “October is such a beautiful time to visit, with the autumn colours setting a magical scene. Halloweden adds even more excitement – we’re celebrating the wonders of creepy crawlies great and small. It’s a fantastic way for visitors of all ages to get close to some wacky bugs and learn all about their place in our natural world while having a blast.”
