Mudfest 2025

Stomp, splash and squelch your way through 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 Washington for muddy activities kids of all ages will love.
