Dragonfly Kite Making Workshops
Let your imagination take flight! As part of WWT Llanelli's first Dragonfly Festival, you can build your very own fantastic flyer, inspired by the amazing colours and aerial skills of dragonflies.
We’ll guide you through the design and build step by step, making sure you have a beautiful kite to take home and fly.
Led by Community Kite Project, these 90-minute family workshops are inspired by traditional Japanese kite-making techniques. Create your own unique dragonfly kite to treasure and soar through the skies!
The workshop costs £5 per child plus the entrance ticket price if you are not a WWT member. Book your entrance tickets in advance and save 10%.

Quiet Session
Our Quiet Session on Friday 1 August at 3 pm is designed especially for neurodivergent families or those who prefer a calmer environment. Spaces are very limited to ensure a peaceful, supportive experience. To book a place on the quiet session, please use the button below.
The £5 ticket covers the cost of making one kite to take home, and you will need to book a ticket for each child taking part. Please note that you will also need to pay for entrance tickets for your family if you are not WWT members.
Book your entrance tickets here and save 10% if you book in advance. You can also purchase entrance tickets on the day of your visit.
