Westminster Boating Base will be hosting an Open Day on Sunday 7th September, aimed at giving local young people and their families the opportunity to access activities on the water.

Young people aged 8 and over will be able to take part in powerboating. To take part in sailing or kayaking you must be aged 10 or over.

These exciting activities will take place from 10am to 4pm on the day and will include the opportunity to try a kayaking group session, a sailing ride along the river or a trip in one of our Powerboats. 

Session times will be:10am-12pm, 12-2pm and 2-4pm. Please bring a change of clothing and suitable shoes that cover your toes.

The event will also include a free lunch for any participants.

Attendance at the event will work on a first come first served basis on the day of the event, so no pre booking is available. Doors will open at 9.45am. This is so that the activity is as accessible as possible.

There will also be the opportunity for young people to access discounts and free spaces on our regular coaching and drop-in sessions, providing the opportunity for continuous use of the centre.

If you have any questions prior to attending, please email westminster.boatingbase@gll.org 

The Open Day is supported by funding from the Port of London Authority as part of their aims to increase Londoner’s access to water.
