October Half Term Promises Super Natural Activities at WWT Arundel
Families can tap into the magic that’s all around them at WWT Arundel this October half term, where wand making, potion crafting and spell casting are just a few of the mystical activities that will keep curious minds bewitched.
The week-long Spells and Potions holiday event includes making a wand from willow embellished with a personal design, discovering the mysteries of wetland plants to make magical potions, and using feather quills to write and cast a spell. All in the enchanting world of WWT Arundel’s wetland nature. Pick up a Spells and Potions logbook at the admissions desk.
Little wizards are invited to join an Owl Pellet Dissection workshop each weekend that will show them firsthand how these nocturnal birds of prey live and what’s in their diet. Those who love to listen and learn can enjoy a special children’s story time by a Wetland Witch on Halloween (October 31st).
Imaginations can run wild for those who want to enter the WWT Arundel’s fancy dress competition on Halloween. Children are invited to transform into their favourite magical character for the day, with a chance to win a stuffed toy wetland animal to become their witch or warlock’s pet familiar!
All activities are included in the WWT (centre) admission ticket or are free to WWT members, except boat safaris, which cost £3 per person. Half term activities run from Saturday 26th October to Sunday 3rd November. More information can be found at wwt.org.uk/Arundel
