Wokingham Waterside Centre

Brilliant kayaking taster session. Great instructor and everyone was very friendly and helpful. Thanks for a lively afternoon

Great Waterside Centre. I organised a ladies paddleboarding session for my church in July 2025 and the centre was excellent, taking all the stress out of booking. I just needed everyone's email and the rest was sorted.  They were very accommodating when I needed extra people added to the booking, even squeezing one or 2 more on the day.  Great communication, parking was easy, and we had an instructor on the water with us. I can really recommend this place.

Lovely part of the river. Free parking and beautiful scenery what more could you ask
