Go Punting!
We are so excited to introduce Punting as a brand new optional activity at our Summer Festival.
The first 2 weeks of Punting have now been released from the 19th July to 3rd August, book now to secure your spot! There is limited availability - so don't miss out. Slots for later dates may be released depending on demand.
Step aboard a classic punt and let our fully trained staff gently guide you down the river. As you glide through serene woodland, take in the tranquil sights and sounds of nature from a unique waterside perspective. The peaceful 15-minute journey takes you approximately 400 meters to the charming Adam Bridge and back. It's the perfect way to unwind - the quintessential English summer experience awaits!
You will need to book a punting ticket at least an hour before or after your train ticket time. So for example, If your train ride is at 1pm, please don't book punting after 12noon, or before 2pm.
