A huge thank you to everyone who joined us this year on the river. It's been an absolute pleasure taking you all out for a punt.

Today is our last day on the river for this year as we are packing up for the winter, but we will be back next spring.

We look forward to seeing you in 2025!

🦢Did you know that the collective noun for swans varies, depending on where they are?

When in flight they are called a wedge, in water they are called a bevvy, and when they gather on the water's edge, they are called a bank!
