Mudfest 2025 at WWT Martin Mere Wetland Centre

Get stuck in with a mud obstacle course, mud kitchen, wild crafts, and mud kitchen.

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.  After all, it’s the stuff wetlands (and great family adventures) are made of.

Go mad for mud activities:
Jump between obstacles or climb your way through a mud-tastic obstacle course? 
Visit the craft room for some clay modelling, creating a worm, and making seed bombs.
Cook up some delicious muddy meals in the mud kitchen.
See what sculptures you can make out of mud.  Can you make an otter, or maybe a mallard?
