Paddle down the River Soar, immerse yourself in nature and play with some paint! Embrace the spills and mistakes, scratch into the page, layer and enjoy the feeling of textures beneath your fingertips. Fuel up with some quick snacks and drinks before finishing your projects, hopping back on your crafts and returning with your new creations.

Each week of Paddle and Paint runs with a different theme - allowing you explore the craft of painting in an experience tailored to your specific interests. Find your passion, and join us for a unique outdoor artistic experience.
