A Boozy Picnic on a Row Boat in Bath
Where
River Avon
Duration
Hourly hire
Vibe
Daytime
Bath Boating Station feels like the sort of place somebody discovers halfway through a rom-com. Leafy, low-key and genuinely charming, it lets you hire rowing boats by the hour and take the River Avon at your own pace.
Pack a picnic, bring a few bottles and make an afternoon of it without a host, script or organised activity leader anywhere in sight. That is exactly the appeal. It works particularly well for smaller hens or mixed-age groups who want something gentle but still memorable, especially when the weather is behaving itself.
What’s Included:
- Row boat hire
- Oars
- River access
- Picnic-friendly setup
Smaller groups should call ahead before making the trip.
Bath Boating Station operates seasonally, so opening dates and weather conditions need checking before you build the itinerary around it. Pack a picnic, bring a few bottles and keep one vaguely responsible person in charge of the oars.
