This October half term, discover activities that show just how super wetland nature can be.
Weave a willow wand, craft potions and spells, paddle out on a Canoe Scarefari and much more in two weeks of wetlands magic.
Join us at our Mere Tun village every day. Transformed into a witches' village, all young witches and warlocks are invited to practise their magic.
The pumpkins and carving kits wil be supplied and you can create the scariest pumpkin to take home with you.
Step onto a guided boat tour, or take your own path on a canoes. Either way, prepare for some spine-chilling surprises as you venture into the waters.
Visit in your most spooktacular costume for a chance to win the title of Best Halloween Outfit of 2024.
