We’ve got a few good reasons to head down to the river this weekend… including a little last-minute surprise for Saturday 👀🎶

🛶 Boat hire is running all weekend, so grab a kayak, SUP, canoe or rowing boat and make the most of some September sunshine on the river.

🌅 We’ve got just 10 spaces left on Saturday’s Sunset Cruise, departing at 4.30pm for two hours on the Rother. £22.50pp adults / £15 under 14s.

🍴 Our new autumn lunch menu is now being served at Lime Wharf, so come hungry!

🎶 And our last-minute booking? DJ Ben Mitchell is back, playing in the garden on Saturday from 3-6pm. Grab some food, order a drink and stay for the music.

⛺ Fancy making a weekend of it? We’ve also got ONE electric camping pitch left, available Friday, Saturday and Sunday night.

Paddle, eat, drink, dance, cruise, camp… pick your favourites or do the lot!

Last minute camping cancellation for THIS WEEKEND! ⛺☀️

We’ve suddenly got two pitches available:
1 x electric pitch
1 x non-electric pitch

And it’s looking like a lovely weekend to squeeze in a September camping trip, with sunshine booked 🤞☀️

Pitch up, get out on the river, wander over to Lime Wharf for breakfast or lunch, then on Saturday we’ve also got spaces on our Sunset Cruise departing at 4.30pm. Two hours gently cruising the River Rother for £22.50pp 🌅🛥️

Then head back to camp as the sun goes down. Sounds like a pretty good September weekend to us.

Camping is first come, first served, so head to our website, check the availability calendar and submit a booking form.

Hope this makes someone’s day! ⛺🛶☀️

There’s quite a lot going on down by the river at the moment, so here’s your little BBS + Lime Wharf catch-up…

🌅 We’ve still got spaces on our 2-hour Sunset Cruise at 4.30pm TODAY, and again on 12 September. £22.50pp.

🫖 There are also spaces on Wednesday’s Cruise + Cream Tea. One hour on the river at 3pm followed by homemade cream tea, £20pp.

🌿 Garden Club met yesterday and got loads done. Did I take a single photo of anyone actually gardening? No. I did, however, remember to photograph us sitting down to lunch afterwards 😂 Our lovely volunteers also got to sample some of the dishes from our brand new autumn menu, which launches THIS MONDAY. More on that very soon…

🛶 And we’ve bought some new kayaks! Which means we’ll shortly be selling some of our older stock. We’re not quite ready to let them go yet, but if you’ve ever fancied owning one of our kayaks, start thinking about it now. We’ll post all the details when they’re ready.

September is shaping up rather nicely ☀️🍂

Perfect paddle conditions this morning ☀️🛶

The river was looking beautiful, the water was calm and, of course, no trip to Bodiam Boating Station is complete without breakfast at Lime Wharf before or afterwards.

If you’re wondering what to do this Bank Holiday weekend, this is a pretty good way to spend a few hours. Get out on a kayak, SUP, canoe or rowing boat, then head to the cafe for breakfast or lunch and stay for one of the DJ sets in the garden.

And with the end of summer creeping closer, make the most of these gorgeous paddling days while they’re here.

Boats out all Bank Holiday weekend.
Lime Wharf open from 8.30am.

Who are you bringing?

A little heads up if you’re visiting us tomorrow…

Lime Wharf Cafe’s kitchen will be closing a little earlier than usual at 4.30pm, but everything else is carrying on as normal.

Boats are out as usual until 8pm, and the LWC bar will be open until 8pm too 🍹

So you can still head out on the river, then come back and settle into the garden for a cocktail, cold b**r or glass of w**e afterwards.

If you’re planning to eat, just make sure you’re back from your paddle in plenty of time to order before the kitchen closes.

Boats as usual until 8pm

One last big summer Bank Holiday by the river?

We’ve got 3 days of music, boats on the water, food, cocktails and plenty of reasons to spend the day with us.

Get out on a kayak, SUP, canoe or rowing boat, stop for lunch at Lime Wharf and then settle into the garden for music and a drink as the afternoon rolls into evening.

Saturday
DJ Ben 5pm to 8pm

Sunday
DJ Ali Rana 5pm to 8pm

Monday
DJ Rooby 1pm to 4pm

No tickets needed for the music. Just come down and make a day of it.

Boat hire is available throughout the Bank Holiday weekend, with breakfast, lunch and early supper at Lime Wharf and the bar open until 8pm.

And if you’re camping with us, even better. Park the car, pitch the tent and you’ve got the river, cafe, bar and music right on your doorstep.

Summer holidays are nearly over. Let’s make this Bank Holiday count.

One last summer adventure?

It’s the final week of the school summer holidays, but there’s still time to squeeze in one more night or two under canvas before September arrives.

We have camping availability this Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday night.

Pitch the tent, get out on the river, have lunch or an ice cream at Lime Wharf, stay for an early supper and then head back to the campsite as the sun goes down.

No need to save it for the weekend either. Sometimes a spontaneous midweek night away is the best kind.

Camping available Tuesday to Thursday this week.

Head to the Bodiam Boating Station website and submit a booking form.

Don’t pack summer away just yet!
