Got your costume ready for Muddy Buddy yet?!

A big aspect of our event is the fancy dress element, with prizes for the best looks.

Teams are encouraged to decorate themselves in eco-friendly costumes that can be composted, recycled or reused.

Shoes – essentially an old pair - are compulsory... NO Crocs please! If you’ve got diving boots you can wear that’s even better!

We can't wait to see what you have in store for us ;-)
