When the river’s running high, you make your own training ground!
Santa popped by for a visit and decided to squeeze in a bit of balance practice—keeping things firmly on dry land this time. Even he knows a little prep goes a long way before the big night! 🦌❄️

Winter doesn't mean you have to put your paddles away ❄️🚣🏻
Colder months are a brilliant time to enjoy the river, but a bit of extra planning makes all the difference.

Santa had a quiet moment taking in the River Severn the other day… Pretty sure he was planning which elves to bring paddling in 2026. 🎅🏻

Before Santa heads anywhere near the water, he likes to ease into things:
- Buoyancy aid first
- A quick sit-down in the canoe
- A few practice strokes on dry land.
🎅🏻Turns out even Santa prefers a slow and steady start on the River Severn.

Turns out Santa’s swapping his sleigh for a spot of canoeing in Shrewsbury this year.🎅🏻
He said it’s a lot quieter than the North Pole, and the river views beat the workshop any day.
