🌿 HELP PROTECT THE WILDLIFE OF THE RIVER COLN 💙

The River Coln is a beautiful rare Cotswold chalk stream, like our Thames it is home to an incredible variety of wildlife, from kingfishers to mayflies, water voles and the plants and insects that depend on clean, clear water.

We want to support Debbie Campbell river girl 💚 and show just how much this river matters.

Join her on 12 September and help give its wildlife a voice.

🎨 Children, families and schools — design a poster!

What do you love about our river? Draw the wildlife you want to protect and bring your poster along on the day.

📅 12 September | 10am
📍 Outside The Bull Hotel, Fairford

🦦 Save our wildlife.
💧 Protect our chalk streams.
🌱 Leave a healthy river for the future.

Come and be part of it. Every little voice can make a big difference.

Fantastic afternoon yesterday filming with Prof Alice Roberts for her new series Grounded.

Great to be able to showcase Lechlade and our wonderful river.

A massive shout out to who stepped in last minute when both our outboard’s failed and also to for stepping in at the helm while the boss lady hikes in Skye.

We can’t wait to see the finished programme.

The perfect Cotswold summer combination? We think so. ☀️🛶🍹

We’re lucky to be based just a paddle away from one of the Cotswolds’ best riverside spots for a drink.

The Riverside in Lechlade has just been featured by Muddy Stilettos as one of the region’s top waterside destinations – and we couldn’t agree more. (glosworcs.muddystilettos.co.uk)

Spend the morning exploring the beautiful Upper Thames by canoe, kayak or paddleboard, then finish your adventure with a well-earned drink (or lunch!) overlooking the river.

It’s everything a Cotswold summer should be:
💙 Time on the water
🌿 Beautiful scenery
🍔 Great food
🍻 Riverside refreshments
☀️ Memories made with family and friends

Whether you’re planning a relaxed afternoon, celebrating with friends or simply looking for a different day out, we’ve got the adventure—and The Riverside has the perfect place to unwind afterwards.

Was so lovely to see these fabulous customers again yesterday, they loved us so much they came back and proposed.

We always say double kayaks make or break you…the ultimate first date challenge.

We wish them so much joy for their future. 💙

Organising a hen or stag party can be a juggling act. Finding an activity everyone will enjoy, sorting the food, maybe even accommodation, adding those personal touches… it all takes time.

That’s where we come in!

Whether it’s decorated pedalos, giant party SUP’s, canoeing with the I Do Crew, delicious grazing boxes or simply making sure everything runs smoothly on the day, we love taking the pressure off so you can focus on having fun.

Feedback like this remind us why our crew do what we do. 💙

A huge thank you, Annalie, for trusting us with your Hen Party and for taking the time to share your experience.

If you’ve got a hen party, stag do, birthday or group celebration to organise, let us help make it effortless.

You bring the people. We’ll take care of the rest. 🚣✨🦩
