About this event

Audience

This is an intergenerational workshop, suitable for all ages and abilities. Everyone is welcome.

About

Learn to love wasps! Discover how wasps are essential to the health of ecosystems at this free creative workshop.

Wasps are often misunderstood but they are incredible animals – master builders, pest controllers and pollinators. In this free arts-based workshop find out how wasps socialise, work together, hunt and enhance ecosystems.

This activity is part of "World of Wasps" a new, free, family-friendly exhibition at the UCL Grant Museum of Zoology. Running from 25 June 2025 to January 2026, the world's first exhibition centred on wasps invites visitors to reconsider these often-misunderstood insects.

Access

The Grant Museum of Zoology is completely accessible to wheelchair users and those with limited mobility from street level via the main museum entrance.
