Bournemouth Bug Show
Littledown Sports Hall
From 11am | Sunday 31 May
Tickets from £5 (free entry for 12s and under)

Bournemouth’s premier bug and invert show returns to Littledown for 2026!

The Bournemouth Bug Show was formed in 2023 when a group of invert and reptile lovers came together to meet and talk about everything bug related.

Having this common interest quickly helped those attending realise they had found their tribe. Feeling connected to others is an important part of human nature and we believe that the entomology community provides a safe space for real human connection.
