Heatwave? No problem!

Water day it is! Even when the kids are off the water, they were kept cool with a staff vs kids water fight!

⚠️ Whitewater Course Update

We have recently been carrying out essential maintenance on the whitewater course, including repairing and realigning the blocks where required.

Despite the challenges caused by the current low river level, we have been able to continue running sessions. Unfortunately, one of our pumps has now unexpectedly stopped working.

Our engineering team is investigating the fault and working to identify the cause. At this stage, we are unable to confirm how long the repair will take.

If you have an upcoming rafting, tubing or paddling session, please check your inbox. We have contacted all affected customers directly with further information and the available options.

We sincerely apologise for the disruption and appreciate your patience and understanding. We are doing everything we can to resolve the issue and reopen the course safely as soon as possible.

Whitewater Course Update 🌊

You may have noticed a few changes to our whitewater course recently.

As part of our ongoing maintenance programme, we’ve replaced the timber foundations beneath the block features in Channels B and C. This was an important upgrade to help keep the course operating safely and reliably for the future.

As a result of these works, the blocks are currently sitting in a temporary position while we assess the flow of the water. Over the coming weeks and months, we’ll be gradually fine-tuning and realigning them to recreate the features and waves that so many of our regular paddlers enjoy.

We’ll also be carrying out further improvements in Channels A and B, where the blocks will be raised onto the new timber foundations as part of the same project.

These adjustments take time, as even small changes can have a big impact on how the water behaves. We appreciate your patience while we continue to refine the course, and we’re looking forward to bringing those much-loved features back.

Thank you for bearing with us during these improvements and for making this one of our busiest and most enjoyable summers yet. We can’t wait to see you back on the water!

We’ve been so busy, we haven’t managed to capture memories! So far we have had over 250 children attending our camps already!

We’re so grateful to be able to run these camps and give so many children the chance to try out watersports and land activities.

Here’s to more weeks and more memories to be made ☀️🥏⚽️💧

This is why we allow no public swimming on our premises, and why everyone taking part in our activities has to wear buoyancy aids

Calling all parents and carers 📢 Have you had a chat with your child about the dangers of open water? It's going to be hot this weekend, and it's never too late to have a chat that could save their life. Here are some things to cover:

Cold water shock happens in seconds.

The sudden drop in temperature can cause an involuntary gasp for breath, panic and loss of control. Even strong swimmers can find themselves struggling.

In a matter of minutes, somebody could drown.

If someone gets into difficulty:

☎️ Call 999 immediately.
❌ Never enter the water yourself - you could become a second casualty.
