Discover Nature's Wonders
Engaging farm and woodland activities for children aged 2 to 4 with their carers.
Welcome to Muddy Mice: Nature's Playground
Our Mission
At Muddy Mice, we are dedicated to nurturing a love for nature and farming in young children. Our activities are designed to be both educational and fun for children and their grown-up to enjoy together. We provide a safe environment for you to explore. Based on a working farm in Harpenden, your little ones will enjoy meeting our animals, immersing themselves in nature...and literally into puddles! Our small groups sessions are 45mins, but sometimes we get carried away, so please allow 1hr! Sessions start in our woodland den and then we head out for fun adventures around the farm.

Booking your place
Spring Term: Starting January 2026.
If you are on the waiting list for a particular class time and have not heard from us this is because unfortunately we do not have a space to offer for the new term in the class you are waiting for. We will keep the waiting list going and make contact as soon as we are able to offer places. Existing attendees get the chance to keep their places before we offer any new spaces so we cannot predict how many places will be available each new term.
