New for 2023 - Paddle and Paint Experience
Immerse yourself in nature, find the muse and experience the joy of painting…
Paddle down the River Soar with one of our trained instructors on an adventure to our island site, immerse yourself in nature and play with some paint! Embrace the spills and mistakes, scratch into the page, layer and enjoy the feeling of the textures beneath your fingertips. Fuel up with some quick snacks and drinks before finishing your projects, and hopping back on your paddle board or kayak to return with your wonderful creations and new memories. This experience can accommodate groups of up to 5, so bring along the family, or share ideas and laughs with friends,
“You really don’t need to be an artist or have any training to have fun on this experience, I absolutely loved it!”
Meeting Point:
The meeting point is Proctors Park, in Barrow Upon Soar. After initial introductions, we will run through a safety briefing with the group, before handing out paddles and buoyancy aids, and heading to our launch site.
Itinerary :
From the starting point at Proctors Park we will set off towards our island campsite, around 25 minutes paddle away. Once we arrive we will meet our artist who will begin the session - each session is be directed towards the groups desired aims for the day, but oriented around the fun and enjoyment of exploring different textures and techniques. Snacks and drinks are provided.
Finishing up:
Once the session is complete, and you have finished your pieces, we will head back onto the water for a quick paddle back to our start point.
Painting in nature!
Enjoy the art of painting away from the screens and sounds of the modern day world. Relax beneath the trees, listen to the gentle river and try your hand at layering with new textures.
