Whitlingham Adventure is open most of the year for group bookings and courses but not for public access. During the year the Centre will host a number of events – triathlons, swimming competitions etc., so may be closed for these events. Before you visit, please call the office on 01603 632307 to check opening hours.
Launching is permitted on Whitlingham Great Broad only when the Centre is open and subject to approval. Customers must report to reception to pay a launch fee and complete a Registration Document. Buoyancy aids are mandatory – these are available to hire. (Whitlingham Great Broad is privately owned and therefore British Canoeing or Broads Authority licences do not apply). Powered craft are not permitted.
Public swimming is not permitted. (There are local clubs and groups who organise regular open water swimming sessions during the summer season – these are the only groups permitted in the Broad).
Well behaved dogs are welcome at the Centre, they must be kept on a lead at all times. If you wish to take a dog on the water with you, the Duty Manager will make the decision on the day of your arrival. A flotation device is recommended – these are available to hire.
