Get ready to dive into the muddy magic of our wetlands! Mud isn’t just messy - it’s marvellous. It’s the stuff our super-powered wetlands and great family adventures are made of. 

For one week only this February half term, embrace the mess and discover just how brilliant mud can be with these hands-on activities:

• Cook up a muddy masterpiece in our mud kitchen (just don’t taste it!).
• Splash through puddles of every size - because clean clothes are overrated!
• Take aim in our mudslinging contest - scoop, sling, and score!
• Sculpt your own wetland bird using clay and natural materials - daily from 10:30am-12:00pm and 1:30pm-3:00pm.

Embrace the mess, unleash your creativity, and celebrate the wonder of wetlands at Mudfest!
