  • Description

    Llandegfedd Activity Centre and Llandegfedd Sailing Club are working in partnership to run a RYA Discover Sailing event on Monday 8th May 2023.


    Our 30 minute dinghy sailing taster session will give you the opportunity to go sailing with an experienced volunteer from Llandegfedd Sailing Club, or an instructor from Llandegfedd Activity Centre.


    There will also be the opportunity to chat to volunteers from the Sailing Club and staff from the Activity Centre about how to get involved and progress your sailing skills!


    The minimum age allowed on the water is 5 years.

    5 to 13 years old - Will need to be in a boat with a responsible adult aged 18+

    14 to 17 years old - Can be in a boat on their own, with a responsible adult aged 18+ on site that is contactable in the case of an emergency.


    Safety is our number one priority. In the event of poor weather conditions (e.g. strong winds or thunder and lightning) or other incidents we reserve the right to restrict water access to particular user groups, restrict the area available for activities, cancel sessions or close the lake. We will endeavour to give advance notice whenever possible; however sometimes decisions need to be made at short notice. If we close the lake, we will add a message to our website and endeavour to contact all customers impacted to offer the opportunity to reschedule their session or receive a refund.

Wow, a beautiful place to visit with the family. If you're into trekking, go past the bbq areas and past the gold course. There is a little treasure at the end which the kids will love.
