From 10.30am, local artist Keith Hopewell will be running a workshop on creating artwork inspired by the wildlife in Haverhill, with the finished works contributing to a public art project that will be part of the High Street. 

In addition to local wildlife you can also get up close with a range of exotic creepy crawlies thanks to the Mini Beasts Stall, which will have giant snails, millipedes, snakes and much more.
