25–26 July Near Lyneham

Not every listing gets a golden ticket

We don't just scoop up anything with a £0 next to it. These picks still need to be nearby, useful, and properly explained, because 'free' is lovely but 'free and baffling' is less of a selling point.

Happening Saturday 25 July to Sunday 26 July.
Picked for Lyneham, not somewhere halfway across the county.
Only Local Gems and Curated venues make the cut, because standards are still a thing.
Listings with proper descriptions get bumped up the list. Three words and a shrug will not do.

Buzz Club in the Walled Garden

at Museum In The Park

This month we’ll be thinking about keeping cool in the Walled Garden. Join us as we discover how plants, insects and other wildlife cope with the summer heat. At 12pm, we’ll head out on our Garden Observation Walk to look for signs of nature adapting to hot weather. Which flowers are still blooming? Where are the butterflies hiding? How do bees keep cool? Back at Buzz Club we’ll record our discoveries in our Year in the Walled Garden diary through drawings, observations and our own nature notes. All welcome, for children and adults, free entry, donations welcome.
