Kids Kayak for FREE: Oct Half-Term Offer

• Paddle from the slipway along the river and onto the lake
• Set off in a sit-on-top kayak after a quick safety and skills briefing
• Share a half-term paddle with children going free and an adult on the water

Create lots of fun memories on the water this half term with our 2-Hour Kayak Hire package. Perfect for a spontaneous outdoor adventure, our hire booking option gives you the freedom to grab a sit-on-top kayak and launch straight onto the water after a quick safety and skills briefing from our team. Whether you’re a complete beginner or have some experience, our well-maintained equipment and expert support ensure a safe, fun, and memorable time on the water.

Minimum booking = 1 adult and 1 child

All children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult on the water.

Buoyancy aids must be worn at all times.

Participants must be able to swim at least 50 metres.

Anyone under 18 years old wishing to hire a kayak must have an adult in a second kayak accompanying them out on the water at all times.

Only 1 person is permitted per single kayak. Please see our Double Kayak Hire package if you wish to share.

You will need to plan for all weathers and ultimately expect to get splashed!

You may or may not fall into the water, but it is always better to be prepared.

Always bring a towel and a spare set of dry clothes and shoes. If you have your own wetsuit then you are welcome to bring it (particularly in the cooler months when the water temperature is a lot lower), or wear clothes suitable for being on the water, i.e., swimsuit, shorts, t-shirt, leggings, gym wear, waterproof, wind-shell jacket, etc. (Avoid denim, thick hoodies or jogging bottoms that will get heavy when wet.)

We have a small range of wetsuits available to hire at £5pp that you can add on to your booking, but please be aware they are subject to availability and exact sizes cannot be guaranteed on our busier days. Please always bring other suitable clothing to wear as a back-up option. We can refund your £5 on arrival.

If you are happy and warm enough in bare feet then that is absolutely fine, but footwear, such as swim shoes, crocs or old trainers, can be useful as our launch slipway and river/lake shores are quite rocky underfoot.

Additional items you may like to bring depending on the weather:

1. warm hats
2. extra layer
3. hard shell waterproof to shield from wind/rain
4. sun cap
5. sun cream
6. bottled water
7. neoprene booties/gloves
8. other items may also be required, although please note items such as sunglasses may be lost if you fall in the water!

Your valuables, such as car keys and phone, will obviously need to be protected, so a waterproof bag/phone case is good to bring along. If you do not have a bag then we will happily look after your items, but all valuables whether kept on land or on board are done so at your own risk.

Participants will start their session by the slipway with a quick safety and basic skills briefing.

When everyone is ready to go you will hop into your kayak and we will assist you out of the slipway. Enjoy up to 2 hours of fun paddling along the river onto the lake before heading back to base.
