Families can swap the spooky for a SUPER Natural Halloween adventure at WWT Washington this October half term.
Running from 24th October - 1st November this unmissable week-long event invites families to discover the wonders, wildlife and folklore of wetlands through a programme of hands-on activities and seasonal fun.
Designed with younger children in mind, SUPER Natural offers a scare-free way to celebrate Halloween, encouraging families to get outdoors, explore nature and uncover the nature-bursting and mood-boosting superpowers of wetlands.
On arrival, visitors can pick up a SUPER Natural logbook and set off on a self-guided adventure around the reserve, discovering autumn wildlife and nature-inspired activities along the way.
Visitors can enjoy a spellbinding selection of seasonal entertainment:
- Reserve walk: Birds of Myth and Superstition - explore the stories and symbolism behind some of our most intriguing birds.
- Plants, potions and remedies - learn how wetland plants have been used in traditional remedies and folklore
- Owl pellet workshop - investigate the clues hidden inside an owl pellet and uncover what it has been eating.
- Will o' Wisp Jam Jar Lanterns - craft a glowing lantern inspired by the mysterious lights of folklore.
- Fairy ring crafts - create a fairy ring using materials gathered from around the reserve.
- Willow wands and star making - weave your own willow wand or star for magical summer adventures.
