Cancelled - Going on a Bug Hunt Safari

for 4 hours
St Michael the Archangel
Trusham Church Lane, TQ13 0NW, United Kingdom
Sadly, due to the weather and other unavoidable reasons, this event has had to be cancelled.

All young explorers are invited to this from 2pm to around 6pm on Saturday 15th July.

The objective is as young explorers you take time to look at the environment around you. Trusham has entered this year’s Best Devon Churchyard Competition and has already identified over 200 invertebrates within the grounds over the past two years – and there are many, many more to be found.

You will carry out a number of activities including a bug hunt exercise, build bug hotels, games and colour in bug pictures. To conclude there will be a supper at the Village Hall where you will design your own bug face to go on a mini pizza base. Refreshments will also be available mid-afternoon.

St Michael the Archangel

TRUSHAM is a small village church which welcomes everyone to its services and events.

We have a monthly pattern of worship with services usually at 9.15am.  Some are Communion, one a month is specifically all-age, others may be Morning Worship, Iona, and so on.  If there is a fifth Sunday in the month we join as a Benefice at Chudleigh Parish Church for worship at 10.30am.

We are a member of Inclusive Church and offer a warm welcome to everyone visiting our building or attending our services.
