Make a Wormery

Get your hands dirty and dig into some fantastic facts about worms! Find out how they are garden heroes, making compost by turning scraps into soil.

Join our friends from Wakefield Recycles. Learn all about how nature recycles its own rubbish.

Meet some wiggly worms and make your own mini wormery experiment to take home!

Ages 3+. Free, drop-in and no booking required.

We also have a bookable SEND session of this event on the same day, 2pm to 3pm.

Both sessions will take place in the Museum Learning Zone, inside Wakefield Library. Wakefield Library is on the Upper Ground Floor of the Wakefield One building.

This is part of our Worm Half Term! activities. 2025 marked 30 years since the video game Worms came on the market. Wakefield Museum has a new display to celebrate! Visit Wakefield Museum this half term and take part in two days of wormy fun.
