The Weaver's House

The Weaver’s House held ‘Rub-a-Bug in the Garden’ as part of Wildlife Gathering, a celebration of Coventry’s parks and green spaces which happened in May 2022. This special event which ran over a weekend was aimed at encouraging younger visitors to come along and enjoy a colouring activity, whilst the flourishing garden was open for anyone to take pleasure in. Visitors could also take a look inside the house.

The Bugs Bees and Butterflies carved rubbing panels and sheets were created by Ann Phillips and Peterson Cobbett.

We had various young visitors take part, and as well as completing some rub-a-bug pages they enjoyed exploring the plants and flowers and finding out a little about the medieval era.

Here are some of their creations. Thanks to everyone who came along to the event!
