Activities are every day and range from canoeing to climbing, archery to bushcraft and stand-up paddleboarding to trail riding. Our highly experienced instructors will guide the group throughout the day ensuring an amazingly fun and safe day. Children will need a sturdy pair of shoes, warm clothes if it’s cold - a change of clothes if they are going to get wet and we will do the rest.

A full day of fun on the water. Half a day will look at technique and half a day is our infamous Bewl Water Outdoor Centre Regatta. You will need to have a RYA Adult (Level 2) or RYA Junior (Stage 3 Sailor). We will provide you with a selection of performance and entry level boats so that you can try something new! This is a great way to consolidate your skills learned during the week – or maybe as a one- off day just to have some fun.

Myself, my husband and my 2 girls (6 & 9) had a great time with Gary and a lovely girl (I'm sorry I forgot her name). They were friendly, fun and very accommodating! I've never SUP'd before and I managed to stand up! So much fun and we highly recommend it!!
What a brilliant morning learning to paddle board all 3 of us and yes I fell in the most before the kids shout it out but I can't recommend enough so much fun!
Very well organised, and excellent COVID guidelines including temperature testing. Grandson had a double taster session, and despite falling in and getting soaked he absolutely loved it. Greatway of getting them out of the house, good exercise, and really good value for money. We are back again in September, thank you to both instructors.
My dad booked a SUPing 'Have a Go' taster session for him and my children and they had an amazing time, Harrison and George were attentive to the whole groups needs, showing particular support for my son who was a little dubious at first! All of them left thrilled with their experiences and my children are eager to do it again back home in Devon.
We can't thank you enough for such an amazing experiences for all.
What a fantastic time we had at the Have A Go water sports session with you on Friday! I took my two grandchildren for the paddleboarding taster session at the Bewl Water Outdoor Centre. Instructors Harrison and George were superb and worked wonders with my cautious grandson! He was brimming with confidence when he left the session. We all left with big smiles on our faces! I enjoyed the session so much that I am returning to participate with my son in September!
