We’ll be finding out where invertebrates live, what they look like close up, and why they are so useful.
Around the Sanctuary: Have a go at our trail, scouring the site to find bug hotels & homes, and collecting items to help build a giant communal bug hotel.
Education Room: We will have bug specimens and microscopes set up, including one linked to a big screen. See how amazing these little critters appear when seen large. There will also be bug crafts and step by step observational drawing guides too.
Taking place on the weekend of the 1st and 2nd of December we will have 32 stalls over the course of the weekend selling a wide variety of crafty items, from baubles for the tree, to jewellery and felted animals. There really will be something for everyone! Come along at see what Somerset, Devon and Dorset have to offer and help us support local crafts.
Our gift shop will also be open – handily close to our café if you fancy a festive hot chocolate – for lots of gift ideas, stocking fillers and beautiful Ferne Christmas Cards for that special someone.
This year we are trying something new – and we hope you will too! The weekend of the 8th and 9th of December we’re hosting a very special food and drink fair here at the Sanctuary in the conference room. It’s the perfect opportunity to pick up those finishing touches for a memorable Christmas meal, or try something tasty that you hadn’t considered but would make a fabulous gift!
Do you hear the tinkling of bells and the sound of reindeer feet coming down the drive? The return of the Christmas Craft Fair will also bring Santa to the Sanctuary! He has promised to visit us for both weekends, so he will be in his grotto here at Ferne the 1st and 2nd of December and the 8th and 9th!
