Mudfest 2027

Stomp, splash and squelch this February half-term!

13 - 21 February 2027

Mud isn’t just messy - it’s marvellous. It’s the stuff our super-powered wetlands and great family adventures are made of. For one week only this February half term, embrace the mess and discover just how brilliant mud can be!

Embrace the mess, unleash your creativity, and celebrate the wonder of wetlands at Mudfest!

Go mad for mud this February half term! Mudfest is included with your admission ticket or free for WWT members.

Mudfest is a fun-filled outdoor event at WWT Arundel. It is designed for families to stomp, splash and squelch in nature and encourages children to enjoy messy, muddy play, explore wetlands, and connect with nature on a great day out.

Waterproofs, wellies and clothes you don’t mind getting muddy. Trust us - clean clothes are overrated!

Handwashing sinks and welly washes are available on site. We recommend bringing towels and spare clothes for the journey home.

Most pathways at WWT Arundel are accessible - but muddy areas may be challenging. Please contact us for further information before you visit.

Yes, the science has spoken and the fancy stuff found in soil can induce the production of serotonin; the chemical that makes our brains feel happy. If that’s not a reason to try mudslinging and mud sculpting, we don’t know what is!
