With guidance from one of our Ants HQ experts, you'll build your Myrmeco I step by step, get to know your new colony and learn how to care for them once they're home.
Throughout the workshop, you'll meet some of our thriving colonies up close and discover how ants work together, raise their young, find food and build their extraordinary underground worlds.
There'll be plenty of opportunities to ask questions, get involved and discover things you never knew about these tiny insects.
