Daily watersports activities include swan pedalos and row boats, stand up paddle boards, kayaks and canoes, dinghies and windsurfing. You can also hire bikes at Nene Outdoors to explore the wider Park!
Take a trip around Overton Lake in their great new eco passenger boat and enjoy unique views of the lake and the wildlife around Ferry Meadows – we’ve tried it can certainly recommend it. Boat trips run regularly at weekends, and daily during the school holidays.
You can even enjoy your own local staycation and camp under the stars in one of their lovely new bell tents on the brand new ‘Lakeview Campsite’ and enjoy an easy camping experience on the peaceful banks of Gunwade Lake.
Try a new sporting challenge this summer with archery and climbing wall sessions! Held on alternate weeks throughout the summer holidays, the sessions run from 11am to 4pm and last for 45 minutes. Tickets cost £8 per person.
There’s also entertainment planned with Rah Rah Theatre and their Teddy Bear's Picnic Theatre Show on July 24. Take your favourite bear along to the Teddy Bear's Picnic Theatre Show at 11am or 2.30pm and enjoy an exciting show full of props, puppets, songs and dancing. Aimed at children aged 2-6, it’s £10 per ticket.
