PaddleFest! June 14th 2025 - free event
We are excited to host our first Maidenhead PaddleFest on Saturday 14th June 2025.
This will be a celebration of canoeing and kayaking along York Stream starting at 0930 with all welcome to take part. Canoeists, kayakers and paddle boarders will begin at Town Moor and paddle along the stream through Maidenhead town centre to Green Lane weir, then back again. After that there will be separate activities for Scouts in canoes, including free coaching and a water based nature trail. Paddlers can also test their skills with time trials along York Stream. Families on the river bank can also enjoy free entertainment with music from the Devine Buskers in Chapel Arches and at 1100 Teddies Music Club will be hosting a family singalong in the library amphitheatre, ideal for children aged 3-6.
