Join us at Trevassack Lake on March 5th

We're celebrating spring and St Piran's Day with a splash! Come on down to Trevassack Lake at Garras near Helston to try a range of watersports for £5 or less.

With kayaking, sailing and paddleboarding taster sessions for £5, you can try a new watersport you love or brush up on your skills in our beautiful freshwater lake. The afternoon sessions are reserved for those with accessibility or sensory needs that require a more supported and quieter environment, with increased staff:individual ratio. 

We have changing rooms, showers, toilets and Changing Places facilities available to use included in the activity cost. We hope you will come and see Trevassack Lake for yourselves! Whether you sail, SUP or soak in the views, we’d love to welcome you. You can either book a session in advance or come along on the day for last-minute slots. 

If you have any questions at all about booking or the facilities on offer, please give us a call on 01326 702326 or email hello@childrenssailingtrust.org.uk – we’re happy to help.
