TARANTULAS, scorpions, beetles and bugs of every kind will be available to meet in Yeovil this weekend.

Bugfest is back at Westlands Leisure Complex on Sunday, July 5.

It will feature tarantulas, scorpions, millipedes, stick insects, preying mantis, beetles and bugs of all kinds.

The entomological show is held twice a year at Westlands in Yeovil – and any child in fancy dress goes in free.

You can come and see some of the world's most weird and unusual creatures in a ‘Reptallica’ – a reptile handling experience.

There will be two Wild and Deadly shows during the day, allowing you to see, in real life, some of those deadly creatures you have seen on television.

There’s also outside entertainment including a 40ft inflatable fun run and bouncy castle and the chance to see and hold some feathered friends including a Siberian eagle owl.

There will also be craft stalls including pottery, jewellery, clothing and unusual art.

Refreshments include ice cream and a sweet stall, and there’s a restaurant and bar on site.

Doors open at 10am until 4pm. Adults cost £4, children £2, under 4s go free.

Age restrictions apply for handling tarantulas and scorpions.
