BUTTERFLY World in St Albans is to hold a family fun day on Sunday, May 26, from 10am until 3pm.

The day includes a butterfly treasure hunt, insect handling, face painting, ant world talks and guided tours.

The 27-acre Butterfly World Project is located on Miriam Lane, off Noke Lane, Chiswell Green.

Since reopening in March the attraction has welcomed and educated many school children about the life cycle of butterflies and how to grow butterfly-attracting plants to encourage the return of the insect into our gardens.
