Professor Slug's House of Bugs (family show summer)

27th June 2026

The Oval Bandstand and Lawns

Help Professor Slug solve buggy problems with puppets, songs and slime at Cliftonville's Oval Bandstand

Doors open 1pm, Show starts 2pm (Running time 50 mins)

An interactive, silly bug adventure for ages 3+.

Professor Slug is an eccentric expert on invertebrates who helps bugs out with their buggy problems and you can too!

Get as strong as an ant! Teach a bee how to buzz! And help a dung beetle make a pooey perfume for its big date…

The House of Bugs is fully booked with all sorts of bugs seeking help from Professor Slug and his fellow bug experts (that’s you, the audience!) But can all these buggy problems be solved before the Queen Bee arrives, or will a swarm of honey-hungry wasps wreak havoc?

This interactive show is packed full of colourful puppets, catchy songs, and educational info about the wonderful world of bugs.

Puppets are designed by Georgia Hill (CBeebies) Partnered with charity Buglife and the Royal Parks Nature Roadshow.

Written by Maxwell Tyler, music by Cat Gisby, design by Bethany Blake. Partnered with Buglife and the Royal Parks Nature Roadshow
