Watersports Experience Days: Paddle your way along the River Soar on a kayak or paddleboard during this guided watersports adventure, and stop for a delicious picnic in a quiet spot. You’ll learn the basics of your chosen watersport from an expert instructor while you enjoy the gorgeous surroundings!

You’ll begin your experience by collecting your equipment at Proctor’s Park, where you’ll be introduced to your instructor. They'll take you through a safety briefing before guiding you onto the River Soar. There, they'll teach you the basics of your chosen watersport while you experience Leicestershire’s largest river, kayaking or paddleboarding along with your instructor guiding the way. Whichever watersport you choose, enjoy views of the countryside and local wildlife as you paddle peacefully through bridges, locks and weirs. You're guaranteed to get some great exercise as you take in the sights. Part-way through your trip, you'll disembark and settle in to a quiet, cosy picnic spot. Tuck into a prepared picnic of sandwiches or wraps, fresh fruit, crisps, pastries and drinks. When you're done, you'll head back out onto the water to return back to the starting point.

The Guided Watersports and Picnic Trip on The River Soar is the perfect way to experience the sights of Barrow-On-Soar, Quorn, and Mountsorrel! This day out would make a fun experience gift for anyone who loves the water.
