Alder Hey's Santa Paddle

Join Alder Hey Children's Charity in lighting up the iconic Royal Albert Docks with a convoy of lighted kayaks and canoes for Alder Hey Children’s Charity. The self launch site will be Liverpool Canoe Club- you will be guided to paddle round to Liverpool Watersports Centre to join the rest of the procession which will begin at 4pm. The procession will pass some of Liverpool's most iconic landmarks, including the Queen’s Dock, M&S Arena, Albert Dock and back round.

Register your own kayak, canoe or SUP to take part. We encourage participants to bring all the lights and decorations you need to put on a fantastic display for spectators!

We would love to see as many individuals and watersports groups involved as possible.

Please note: by registering, you are agreeing to supply your own kayak, canoe, pedalo or SUP, and life vest to enter the water. This is for experienced and confident participants only, as you will be responsible for your own safety on the water.

We have a limited number of kayaks and canoes available to hire, please get in touch with us at [email protected].
