22 February - 2 March

Put your dusty festival wellies to good use and join us to celebrate as Mudfest returns to WWT Llanelli this February half term!

The legendary festival of all things muddy is back - and promises to be wilder and messier than ever, with an UNMISSABLE lineup for 2025!

Get stuck into your February half term with minibeast mud hunts, glorious games, wild crafts – and mud, mud more. After all, it’s the stuff wetlands (and great family adventures) are made of.

With hands-on activities for all ages and abilities, everyone can connect with nature and discover the magical powers of mud for wildlife and play. We’re talking mud obstacle courses , muddy tug of war, barefoot trails , muddy nest-making, marvellous mud kitchens , muddy sculpture stories, mud-slinging, pot-throwing, and a whole lot more mud. You’ll be able to paint with mud, hunt for mini-beasts in the mud, and create seedbombs using – you’ve guessed it – mud!

Come prepared to get messy and discover there’s more to mud than meets the eye. Pick up your Mudfest guide and map when you arrive so you don't miss out on any of the action.

Go mad for mud with our special daily activities:

10:00 to 10:45 Seedbomb making
11:00 to 11:45 Minibeast hunts and wormery
12:00 to 12:30 Birds, Beaks & Feeding Techniques Workshop
