About This Event

The Family Minibeasts Safari in the Garden is part of the Summer of Play at Hardwick in Nottingham. This outdoor event occurs on 11 August 2026 at 10:00. Admission is required.

When you enter the Hardwick gardens it’s clear to see they’re teeming with life from the delicate butterflies enjoying the colourful blooms to the buzzing of bees on their mission to collect pollen for their hive.

This brand new Minibeast Safari encourages kids to view the gardens through a different lens and look deeper into the natural world around us, whilst also learning about how each creature plays their part in the wider ecosystem.

This event is a free event. For non-members of the National Trust, or visitors without a general admission ticket to the House and Gardens, the Wider Estate admission fees apply:

• Adult: £6.00

• Child: £3.00

• Family (2 adults, 2 children): £15.00

• Family (1 adult, 2 children): £9.00
