About the event

Muddy Wellies is supported by Public Health Sunderland to get young children outdoors to improve their health and wellbeing, develop new skills and learn about nature. 

Sessions are aimed at pre-school children between 2 and 5 years and will take place outdoors in October and November.

In this session we are going on a bug hunt! We will learn about all the creepy crawlies we might find under logs, in the grass, and in puddles. We will learn how minibeasts are sorted into categories and make our own minibeast friends to take home.

More information about the sessions:

To gain the most from our programme, we recommend you come to all six sessions, but if you cannot make it to all the sessions, just message Lyze to let them know. 

Little ones must be accompanied by an adult. Booking is essential. Tickets are only required for children. 

Toilets are available at ELCAP. 

Please come dressed for outdoor activities appropriate to the weather of the day including sturdy shoes, layers and waterproofs.  

All activity equipment will be provided for each session. We kindly ask that you bring a filled water bottle, a snack and a bag to carry it all in.
