Mad Maureen’s: The Muddy Day Out You’ll Never Forget!

You’ll find us in a massive muddy field, just off the M1 motorway, right outside Leeds!

Upon arrival at the Mud Museum, you and your family will be pelted with mud by Mad Maureen herself!

That’s right, our brilliant and welcoming (most of the time) founder loves mud so much she lives in a ditch of the stuff just opposite the premises!

And she greets each and every customer with:

• Wild and hysterical shrieks of, “GET OFF MY PROPERTY!”
• Pelting you with mud.
• Rugby tackling you to the ground.
• More wild and hysterical shrieking.

Don’t be dismayed by this animalistic mania. Mad Maureen is deeply passionate about mud, her museum, and her visitors!

She simply demonstrates this in a manner most people will classify as extreme hostility. For Mad Maureen, it’s just part of her job!
