Halloween Welney Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT) Centre in Norfolk spooky trails in October

Families can test their bravery as they explore the eek!citing and mysterious world of wetland nature this October half term at Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT) Welney Centre in Norfolk.

From the feathered and furred to the slimy and scaly, there are some truly weird and wonderful creatures that call wetlands home – and all are ready and waiting to be discovered by visitors as they make their way round the sites keeping eyes peeled and ears pricked for a truly exciting eek!sperience.

With spooky interactive activities and a scary trail to follow, visitors to WWT Welney this October are being dared to put their hands into an eel box, grab a photo op with a bat or listen out for toads.

There’s also plenty more for the whole family to discover across our site this autumn, whether they’re looking for a fright or not - such as taking a relaxing walk along the summer trail; fishing out wild wonders and uncovering underwater life in our ponds; or taking a closer look at what owls have eaten by dissecting owl pellets.

WWT Welney’s marketing & events officer, Emma Brand said: “For a half term experience with a difference, our eek! weeks event gives families the chance to connect with nature and enjoy a fantastic, fun wildlife learning experience.

“Autumn is such a special time to visit Welney and the interactive eek! weeks trail and nature-based activities on offer are a brilliant way for children to get outdoors and use all their senses to explore and connect to nature this half term”.

The eek! weeks interactive trail is included as part of the centre admission price (free for WWT members and under 4’s).
