HEAD TO THE PUDDLE JUMPING CHAMPIONSHIPS THIS HALF TERM

THIS half term bring your friends and family to a beautiful wildlife centre to see who can make the biggest and craziest splash at the Puddle Jumping Championships.

Children of all ages are encouraged to grab their wellies to see if they can complete the Puddle Jumping obstacle course at WWT London Wetland Centre in Barnes.

They’ll have to crawl, balance and climb their way through this fun course in order to reach the finish line and claim their Puddle Jumping sticker.
