Mudfest 2025

Stomp, splash and squelch this February half term

No one does mud quite like us. It’s the stuff our super-powered wetlands (and great family adventures) are made of.

Make it, mix it, mould it and build with it, sling it, paint it and jump in it. Head to WWT Castle Espie for muddy activities kids of all ages will love.
