Get Muddy This Half Term at WWT Llanelli's Mudfest 2025!

Families are invited to grab their wellies and head to WWT Llanelli Wetland Centre 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, 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 throwing a clay pot or painting your own pottery, and whipping up a ‘treat’ in the mud kitchen – there’s a hands-on activity for everyone to help them get closer to wetlands.

The full line-up of messy and muddy activities at WWT Llanelli includes; exploring how different shaped beaks help wetland birds hunt for food in their muddy habitat, searching for minibeasts, getting crafty using clay and foraged materials, and treating the senses to a good old-fashioned squelch through the mud - shoes are optional!

Fun-loving, competitive families can also roll up their sleeves and take part in mudslinging, and muddy tug-of-war, while little ones can also limber up for a little puddle jumping.

Jessica Thompson, spokesperson at WWT Llanelli, said: “Mud is life! No-one does mud quite like us! It’s the stuff our super-powered wetlands are made of, and it offers so much fun. We are the original home of Mudfest! Whether you fancy mixing it up, building with it, painting with it, or jumping in it, there’s a great adventure at WWT Llanelli this February that families won’t want to miss!”

All daily Mudfest 2025 activities are included in the price of a WWT Llanelli admission ticket or are free to WWT members. Visitors booking online can also take advantage of a 10% discount. Please note that there is a separate fee for the pottery and painting to cover the cost of materials.

Mudfest 2025 will run right through the February half term, from 22 February to 2 March. More information and a full what’s on calendar can be found here.
