Wild week for kids in Spalding and Long Sutton

Description:

It's back to nature for children in Spalding and Long Sutton later this month, as the CBeebies Green Balloon Club Week comes to Lincolnshire. 

The events at the two towns' libraries are part of a series of animal and wildlife-themed days at libraries and museums across the county from Saturday, July 25 to Sunday, August 2.

Children aged five to 11 are invited to Visit Spalding library on July 29 and go batty for bats with The Lincolnshire Bat Group and take part in activities, listen to stories and find out all about bats. The price is £2 per child and proceeds are being donated to The Lincolnshire Bat Group.

The event at Long Sutton library on Sunday, August 2, rounds off Green Balloon Club Week, when children are invited to take a voyage into the wild.

There will be the chance to learn about Charles Darwin with an audio visual presentation aboard 'The Beagle' and see how his ideas about nature changed the world.  Guests will also be able to make a home for ladybirds and bugs, learn about bees and make an animal mobile. 

There will also be a chance to enter a fun quiz and win a fabulous prize and join in with fun activities with the Long Sutton Butterfly and Wildlife Park, plus lots more. This family event is open from10am until 4pm and entry is free.
