Discover canoeing through Leicester Outdoor Pursuits Centre for an unforgettable adventure. Where can you find us? We are located on the River Soar in Leicestershire and we have recently been named The British Canoeing ‘Centre of the Year’ in 2015.
What abilities do you need for this wonderful water sport? The skills required for canoeing can be easily learnt. Basically, they are communication, perseverance, coordination and balance. We run British Canoeing courses in the East Midlands, so you can become a qualified canoeist if that’s your desire.
In an open canoe, you can sit or kneel, it’s up to you. Bigger than a kayak, a canoe can carry three people at the same time, which means that teamwork is essential here. This is a great activity for beginners and for people who want to learn how to manage a steady boat. Are you one of those?
With no doubt, canoeing is an absolutely wonderful way to enjoy water and great for going into nature. Come along and bring your group together with this wonderful sport, an endless adventure! You can go for a swim afterwards, but remember to bring spare clothes and shower kit including towel. For more details, contact us now.

This is your opportunity to take part in one of the most creative group activities we have at Leicester Outdoor Pursuits Centre, located on the River Soar in Leicestershire. Participate on the construction of a raft or a bridge. On the course, we will give you the materials and basic lessons to build your own raft or bridge with your team and race it (those that float) against the other teams.
This is a brilliant course for corporate team building, youth and school groups, birthdays and excursions. It has become one of our most popular activities over the years. The task is very easy: design your raft, build it with your team and make it float. What about bridge building? It is very similar: you build your bridge as a team and try to cross the river without falling into it.
The experience involves creativity, cooperation and teamwork, and it’s a great way to get everyone working together. It’s recommended for 12-year-old people and upwards. To arrange your raft or bridge building experience, send a request for more information and we will be more than happy to get back to you as soon as possible.

Would you like to reach new heights? Then, with no doubt at all, Leicester Outdoor Pursuits Centre is the perfect place for you. We have multiple climbing walls so everyone can find something adjusted to their levels and ages. From sloped towers to vertical walls, nothing will get in your way of your adventure, not even a rainy day. Our indoor climbing wall is 8m high and has different coloured routes that you can follow to the top, all of them challenging and good fun.
Starting on a slope, the longest route is 12m, an excellent beginner’s wall: good for children aged 5 years old and upwards. Give it a try and come along. Here you will learn social abilities such as communication, teamwork and trust. You will also develop your perseverance, agility, balance and strength. We have sessions for individuals or for up to two people at the same time.
This sport is great for groups. Climbing always needs someone to control the ropes, so we always make teams. We offer special activities for school groups, birthdays and corporate days. When you arrive at Leicester Outdoor Pursuits Centre we recommend that you wear trousers and lightweight shoes. For more details, drop us a message and we will give you more information about availability and prices.
