All Aboard for Accessible Adventure
Regatta for the Disabled offers a fun filled day on and by the River Thames for those with disabilities and their families/carers and offers accessible activities not always available to people of all ages and abilities.
The land based activities are interactive and include a petting zoo, circus skills, climbing wall, archery (soft), rowing machine, Punch and Judy and more.
Free trips on the river are also available with Rivertime being able to hold up to 5 wheelchairs and we have 2 x 12 seater motorboats which run trips all day.
Regatta for the Disabled is unique and exceptional for families and groups who support children and adults with physical disabilities and special educational needs.
