About this event

Come meet giant blowflies and their delightful compost heap home.

Puppeteers from “Things of Foam and Wood” invite you to meet two giant Central Victorian flying heros: the dazzling Green Bottle Fly and the magical Senostoma .

Come have a play as these supersize critters zip around Artrise. Don’t forget to help tuck in their sleepy babies into a cosy (ginormous) compost bed. Mmmmmm!

An unforgettable showcase of superpowers in pollination, pest control, and recycling … you’ll never look at buzzing beasts the same way again!

Suitable for all ages.

Viewing times : 11.15am – 2pm

FREE. No bookings required. Just show up!
