A CHANCE to see bugs and beasties up close is being offered to people who are not easily scared by creepy crawlies early next month.

Visitors can see and handle collections of spiders, scorpions, snakes, giant bugs and other beasts.

Bugs and Beasties Up Close has been organised by the Tavistock branch of the Devon Wildlife Trust and takes place at the Parish Church Centre on Wednesday February 2 at 8pm. There is a suggested donation of £3 to include refreshments.
