Let illustrator Quentin be your guide at Welney Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust site

Pull on your boots and discover the magic of our wetlands this autumn with Quentin Blake's illustrations as your guide.

Quentin says: "Visitors will be walking with me, and I like to think of myself walking with them. I shan't mind if I get my feet wet."

Pick up a Welney Wetland Centre’s Drawn to Water illustrated trail map and explore the centre’s seasonal natural highlights, from quiet spots with breathtaking views to close-up wildlife encounters.

Spend time with friends and family and engage your senses as you experience uplifting autumnal colours, the crunch of leaves underfoot, and the sounds of migrating birds.

Unlock your creativity and explore wetland nature through the centre’s range of art and illustration activities for all ages and abilities, inspired by Quentin Blake's wonderfully distinctive drawings. And if, like Quentin, you're inspired by wetlands, why not enter the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust’s (WWW) national art competition to win a unique print.

Drawn to Water: Quentin Blake at WWT is a partnership between WWT and Quentin Blake, one of the UK's best-known and well-loved illustrators, to celebrate the wonders of wetlands.

The experience is available nationally at the WWW’s 10 UK wetland sites with seasonal illustrated trails, events and activities to enjoy throughout autumn and winter 2023-24.
