Join us on a magical journey to help a hive reunite with their Queen Bee.

Introducing the Buzzing Bee Trail – a thrilling journey through the world of bees and climate change, designed especially for young adventurers.

Embark on an exciting journey through the maze of Battersea Arts Centre and uncover the secrets of the Hive. Discover the crucial role bees play in our ecosystem and solve puzzles to help save the colony from the challenges of a changing climate. After completing the trail, you’ll get a chance to get your hands dirty in our planting zone.

This event offers an eco trail combined with a theatrical experience. It begins in the main foyer, where you will be welcomed by your event host. From there, you’ll embark on a journey to a storytelling room, followed by tracing the bee trail to an escape room where you’ll decipher codes to unveil a special gift. Afterwards, you’ll have the opportunity to plant your own seed in the BAC Community Garden and take home your own plant pot.
