Santa Paddle - Bring your own kayak/canoe or SUP

Participants information

Are you a competent paddler with your own kayak, canoe or SUP? Join Alder Hey Children's Charity at the Santa Paddle on Saturday 29th November.

Registration is just £30, with no fundraising commitment (entirely optional!)- we simply want to fill the docks with as many lit-up boats possible and create something truly magical along the iconic Liverpool waterfront.

Distance: 2.5km (loop route from Liverpool Watersports Centre to the Albert Dock and back)

Dress code: Dress yourself and your kayak/canoe in festival lights. There will be a competition for best dressed!

We’d love to see some of you taking part! You can register your place here: https://www.alderheycharity.org/santa-paddle/

Spectators information

Even if you're not paddling, there's still plenty of festive fun to enjoy! Head down to the Royal Albert Dock from 5:00pm for an evening filled with Christmas cheer, family activities, and a spectacular parade of glowing kayaks lighting up the waterfront.

Bring your family, wrap up warm and soak up the festive atmosphere as hundreds of festive boats take to the water.
