Experience paddleboarding like never before with Norwich’s first LED night-time paddleboarding session. This 90-minute guided experience sets off at sunset and returns in full glow mode, with LED-lit paddleboards lighting up the River Wensum. No experience is needed – this is a relaxed and inclusive way to enjoy the water after dark.
You'll begin with a short briefing and technique overview before heading out for a gentle paddle as the sun sets. On the way back, the LED lights are switched on to transform the river into a glowing trail – an atmospheric and fun experience suitable for beginners and confident paddlers alike. The session starts and finishes at the Gibraltar Gardens pub, with food and drink available afterwards if you’d like to make a night of it.
Please wear comfortable clothing suitable for the weather. A towel and dry clothes are recommended for after the session. A waterproof jacket is useful on cooler or damp evenings.
This session is open to anyone aged 12+, though under-18s must be accompanied by an adult. All equipment is provided. The session runs in most weather conditions, but may be rescheduled in case of high winds or storms.

Fantastic time. Enjoyed the water ways. Definitely be back
We had a lovely couple of hours, paddling in our canoe. Adam was very accommodating, taking our booking even though the venue wasn't technically open. Everything was explained in a friendly and clear manner, and we felt very comfortable and welcome.
Excellent experience- Ed was brilliant!
We had the best time. Sasha was amazing and we all highly recommend! Thank you for a wonderful experience ☺️
