A magical Super Natural experience awaits families at WWT Washington this October half-term

Families are invited to step into a ‘Super Natural’ adventure at WWT Washington this half-term.
The week-long event offers magical activities that will show just how ‘super’ wetlands can be, guaranteed to leave big and little nature fans spellbound.
Families can weave a little magic into their day by, designing a willow wand to cast spells, discovering the mysteries of wetland plants to make magical potions, searching for spotted tops and amazing giant domes on a fungi hunt, as well as pond dipping and a family-fun scavenger hunt.
For Halloween fans, there’ll be Halloween crafts with jam-jar lantern making and, back by popular demand, an owl pellet dissection activity, where nature lovers will discover how these nocturnal birds of prey live and feast in wetlands and woodlands.
Capturing the memories of their other-worldly adventure will be easy for families, using our free ‘Super Natural’ logbook that can be picked up from the centre. It includes a guide to all the staff-led activities on offer as well as fun self-led challenges and activity prompts including a colour hunt and a magical mandala.
Gill Pipes, Centre manager at WWT Washington said: “Our half-term activities always offer lots of fun and interest to a day out, and the ‘Super Natural’ event is no different. There’ll be plenty to learn and laugh about, so grab your coats and wellies and come for a visit.
“Wetlands have incredible mood-boosting superpowers all year round, and this autumn, we guarantee a visit will cast a spell of joy, that will be felt for a long time after you get home.”
