To join in the fun, simply pick up your free bingo sheet on your way into the Garden. Get hunting for different springtime sights and claim your prize at the end. The bingo includes lots of amazing springtime plants and animals, including the brightly coloured Brimstone butterfly, beautiful cherry blossoms and the elusive Purple Toothwort plant.

Entry tickets are limited, and must be purchased in advance of your visit.

Autumn is very busy for the wildlife in the Botanic Garden and to celebrate we are giving out special Autumn Animals cards to all our young visitors.  Pick up a free card from the ticket office and go on a hunt for fallen autumn treasures to decorate your animal.  A total of six animal cards will be available, with a new card being released every week from the 17th October.  Activity runs until the end of November.

Please note, all children must be accompanied. Standard admission charges apply for adults.  Children under 16 years free.
