Get ready for a whole dollop of muddy outdoor fun when the UK's largest obstacle course for kids comes to Kent.

The Little Welly is landing in the county in May and tickets are on sale now.

Especially created for children aged four to 12, The Little Welly obstacle course has more than 30 challenges over a 3km route.

It includes climbing walls, a huge water slide, scramble nets, balancing poles, foam pit and of course, lots and lots of mud!

The event is making its first visit to Kent, and the St Clere Estate near West Kingsdown on May 11 and 12.

The obstacle course is created especially to challenge youngsters (and their parents!) in what is described as a 'fun, unique and safe outdoor environment'.

Participants can scale the towering heights of The Web Frame, conquer the looming Dark Crawl, splash through mud and water pits, brave the Spider Tunnel, fearlessly face the Three Hump Dragon, balance on Long Pole Run and slide around in foam pits.

And as a reward for all that effort every child will collect their The Little Welly medal as they cross the finishing line.

The popular obstacle course brings with it an entire festival village for the weekend.

Containing The Toddler Course, a climbing wall, pony rides, trampolines and a big stage playing live music and entertainment the event enables families to make an entire day out of it. There is also, say organisers, a full programme of free workshops and have-a-go sessions in the activities tent whilst food and drink will also be on offer to refuel visitors including pizzas, artisan coffee, prosecco, pancakes, burgers, vegetarian alternatives, waffles and ice creams.

Children under four can come to the event for free and early bird discounts are available. For more information and ticket packages please visit www.thelittlewelly.co.uk
