Seriously squelchy fun awaits families at Mudfest 2025 this February half-term
Families are invited to grab their wellies and head to WWT Martin Mere this February half term for Mudfest 2025. Kids of all ages can enjoy squelching, splashing and stomping through a series of marvellously muddy activities throughout the school holidays.
Back by popular demand this year, Mudfest 2025 will see nine days of mud-themed activities, guaranteed to entertain the whole family.
From clamouring across a mud-covered obstacle course and creating mud art, to whipping up a ‘treat’ in the mud kitchen – there’s a hands-on activity for everyone to help them get closer to wetlands.
Fun-loving, competitive families can also join in on the centre's annual Puddle Jumping Championships which returns each day of half term at 2:30 pm. Quiet sessions for this and the Mud Show are also available to book through the website on Monday 17 and Tuesday 18 for those with neuro-divergent or different needs.
Victoria Fellowes, Visitor Experience Manager at WWT Martin Mere, said: “No-one does mud quite like us! It’s the stuff our super-powered wetlands are made of, and it offers so much fun. Whether you fancy mixing it up, building with it, or jumping in it, there’s a great adventure at WWT Martin Mere this February that families won’t want to miss!”
Mudfest 2025 activities are included in the price of a WWT Mertin Mere admission ticket or are free to WWT members. Puddle Jumping Championships is an additional 50p per entry and optional crafts vary in cost.
Mudfest 2025 will run from Saturday 15 February to Sunday 23 February. More information and a full what’s on calendar can be found here.
