I was away this weekend at the English canoe symposium in the lakes,
On the Saturday evening we had a lovely gathering on Windermere after dark to remember the passing of a friend & team mate Andy who died at the end of summer

With all the boats all lit up, and VIP family members, friends, all sharing a few moments to celebrate Andy’s life and how much he was missed

Thinking about a canoe adventure next summer? Weekends are usually the first dates to go. 🛶

If you're hoping to fit a River Severn adventure around work and life, it's often the weekend-based dates that get booked first.

It's not just the paddling dates either. The more popular Friday starts and some of the best B&B availability tend to get snapped up earlier too.

We only do private groups and just one launch a day, so there aren't endless weekend slots through the season.

So if a 3, 4, 5 or 7-day canoe adventure is on your list for 2027, now is a good time to start having a look.

Take a look at the adventures and see which one feels like your kind of trip.

3 days on the river, or make a whole week of it? 🛶

If a canoe adventure is something you've been thinking about for next year, now's a good time to start looking at the possibilities.

Our 2027 River Severn adventures are open for bookings, with 3, 4, 5 and 7-day journeys to choose from.

Whether it's a few days escaping the everyday or a longer journey following the river through the heart of England, there's something quite special about travelling by canoe.

We take care of the canoes, equipment and transport arrangements, leaving you free to enjoy the journey at your own pace.

And you don't need to have canoed before. Most of our guests are completely new to it.

Have a look at the different adventures and see which one takes your fancy for 2027.

I spend my season travelling all over the county and beyond trying to capture wildlife moments like this… and tonight, this happened on my way home!

A beautiful barn owl, just sitting on a hedge.

For a few wonderful moments, it seemed in no hurry to leave. Then, just like that, it was gone into the night.

I was absolutely blown away. What an experience!

Sometimes the most incredible wildlife encounters happen when you're not even looking for them.

And sometimes they're right on your doorstep.

Thinking about a Big Severn Adventure in 2027? It pays to plan early.

The canoe trip itself is only part of it.
If you’re planning on staying in B&Bs along the route, booking early gives you a much better choice of places to stay and makes it easier to build the trip around the dates you actually want.

The same goes for the river.
We only launch one adventure a day, and some dates are already taken by our group and guided trips.

So if you’re thinking about a few days on the Severn next year, now is a good time to start looking.

Did you know? we only have around 100 days each season when we can realistically launch a Big Severn Adventure.

We only launch one trip a day, and some of those dates are already taken up by our group trips, guided adventures and expeditions.
That means the dates left for your own adventure can disappear surprisingly quickly, especially if you’re looking for a particular weekend or month.

We’ve already started taking bookings for 2027.

So if you’ve got dates in mind, it’s worth looking early rather than waiting until spring.

2027 adventures are now open.

I’d been seeing Little Egrets along the river yesterday, but every time I went for the camera they were already off.

This one I managed to float close enough to get a few shots of it, before it headed on its way.

Another moment from the River Severn.

Fancy seeing what you might find along the way?

THE SEVERN IS TURNING GOLD. YOU COULD STILL BE ON IT. 🍂

Our 2026 season is not over yet. We are running our final trips into the first half of October, as the riverbanks change from summer green into autumn colour.

There are still 3, 4, 5 and 7-day adventures available. You can camp, stay in B&Bs or combine the two as you make your way downriver, finishing somewhere new each evening.

We provide the canoe, equipment, route planning, transport logistics and support throughout your journey. These final trips are available at our low-season prices.

If you have been thinking about doing it, this is your final chance before our 2026 season ends.
