The Royal Horticultural Society is delighted to announce that it is partnering with Aardman for a minibeast adventure on a grand scale this summer. Lloyd of the Flies is a brand-new comedy series from Aardman, and its hero Lloyd will be coming to RHS Garden Rosemoor this summer as families join Lloyd on The Grand Bug & Pest Hotel Hunt!

 Lloyd and his friends have gone to stay in a luxury bug hotel in Rosemoor’s Gardens but have got lost on the way. Children can enjoy seeking out characters including housefly Lloyd and his little sister PB, best friend Abacus the woodlouse and Cornea the butterfly in locations around the garden as they make their way towards The Grand Bug & Pest Hotel. Along the way, there will be a host of fascinating minibeast facts and interactive fun.

 For the first time ever at RHS Gardens, families can use a special Augmented Reality app developed by Aardman to ‘shrink’ down to fly size and see the world through insect eyes as they complete the trail with Lloyd and his friends. Suitable for children of all ages, the Lloyd of the Flies AR Bug Hunt app will see characters from the hit CITV show pop up amongst the flowers in selected locations at RHS Rosemoor. The app will be free to download from July from the Apple store and Google Play Store and includes lots of interactive activities for the whole family to enjoy.
