Celebrate Christmas at WWT Llanelli
The festive season is nearly upon us, and you can get into the Christmas spirit with plenty of events and activities at WWT Llanelli – there’s something for everyone!
Did you know that reindeer love to eat goose poo? I’m sure that’ll be enough incentive for Rudolph to take a detour and bring Santa here for a visit! Santa will arriving on Sundays throughout December (until Christmas of course!) at 2.45pm to feed all our birds – and would love some children to come along and help him! Find out more about feeding the birds. This is a magical experience for young children and not to be missed!
Christmas lunches
Enjoy a Christmas lunch in our café on Sundays from 25 November until 23 December, or on any day of the week from 3 December until 22 December, prices start at £8.95 for adults and £5.95 for children. View the full menu. If you book three courses, you will receive a cup of tea or filter coffee and a homemade mince pie for free!
Exercise your creative skills to create your own unique Christmas wreath from materials gathered in the wetlands, at our Christmas wreath making workshops on Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 December. The workshops are excellent value, costing only £3 per wreath, and all the materials and help you need will be on hand! These workshops are most suitable for adults and older children.
Build a nest box
If you enjoy making things you’ll also like our robin nest box workshops on Sunday 16 and Sunday 23 December. Receive expert one-to-one tuition to create your very own robin nest box to take home, for only £5 each. Everyone who makes a nest box will also receive a voucher to make a free nesting stocking (normally £1 each) – to give your robins a head start!
These nest boxes make the perfect Christmas present for someone who loves wildlife and their garden! These workshops are most suitable for adults and older children. Children aged 5+ will be able to make a box as long as they have an adult to help them!
There will be activities and all day family fun on weekends throughout December and during the Christmas holidays, including snow goose walks and feeds and guided bird watching sessions from our luxurious heated viewing tower!
Craft workshops for children will also run throughout the day making Christmas table lanterns, pom pom robins, children’s wreaths, Christmas nesting stockings for birds and more! Small charges apply to cover the cost of materials.
Walk off the Christmas calories!
Also look out for our Arctic wetland craft specials, and our willow sculpture workshops for children on Friday 28 December and Friday 4 January – only £1 to take part!
Remember the centre will only be closed on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, so why not join us, walk off that Christmas dinner and perhaps even see a snow goose in the snow?
