Unless there is a health & safety risk to our visitors, Cotswold Paddlefest will continue if it rains, after all, it is water sports that you are coming to try out! Only if the weather is torrential and causes the field to be waterlogged or it makes the event unsafe to hold then we will cancel it. 

You need to wear something you are happy to paddle in, preferably a wetsuit if you have one and something to keep the wind off you, but most importantly have a change of clothes and a towel with you in case you do get wet and something warm to put on after your paddle. If you have your own buoyancy aid and paddle please feel free to bring it along. Don't forget to pack some sun cream for the lovely hot weather we are going to have!

Yes, we have changing rooms available. 

Yes, you can, but as this is about getting new people into paddling or trying out new boats you will be charged a £15 launch fee to be on the lake that day. 

Cotswold Paddlefest is an outdoor event and therefore Wi-Fi will not be available to visitors, you should be off your devices and enjoy the outdoors! There is however, 3G and 4G coverage subject to individual network providers.

Once you arrive at the event, make your way to the registration office to fill in a disclaimer form and collect your wristband, which will then enable you to collect a buoyancy aid and go and see the suppliers to pick a boat to try out. Yes, you can try more than one boat out but please don't hog it for the day, everybody would like some water time! 

Yes, there will be a bike rack for you to lock your bike too. Please note bicycles are left at the owner’s risk.

No. But for those that want to make a weekend of it or are travelling from further afield then please have a look at campsites nearby.  

Absolutely, you are more than welcome to bring a picnic to Cotswold Paddlefest, there will be picnic benches available for you to use or plenty of space to put out blankets.
