Mess is part of life with children – it's how they play, learn about food and how they have such fun with a full jar of Sudocrem (that stuff does NOT come out of carpets easily.) Mess with children is so much better when it happens outside of the home. For children who just love to create a big fat mess (which is all of them) Perth has some great September school holiday activities for the messy at heart.

Swan Valley Mudfest
Belvoir Homestead, 1177 Great Northern Highway, Upper Swan

There's nothing messier than mud! Children aged nine and over can take part in the Swan Valley Mudfest and trawl their way through 5km of genuine mud. Along with mud, there are 25 obstacles to tackle designed for all fitness levels. There's no time limit, so kids and parents alike can take as long as they need to tackle all that mud. You can even come dressed as your favourite character! All children aged between 9 and 14 years must have a registered guardian with them at all times, while guardians of kids aged 15 to 18 years will need to sign a waiver.

Registration is $66 per person, plus booking fee, or $200 for a team pass for four people.
