There is a public car park right next to the theatre and then you can walk over to find the canoe team who will be stationed just past the theatre. I would advise bringing coins for the carpark.
All child participants require a minimum of a 1:1 adult to child ratio. If child participant is aged between 7-13 we require a minimum of a 2:1 adult to child ratio for that child.
If your group doesn‘t fit in to these categories, please give us a call and we will do our best to accommodate you.
Half Day Trip:
Brecon – Pencelli
Experience breathtaking views and serene waters on our unforgettable canal trip starting from the basin outside Brecon Theatre. Begin your journey by paddling out of Brecon, taking in the majestic sight of Pen Y Fan and travelling across an aqueduct over the river Usk.
Your paddle will lead you to the quaint village of Pencelli, where a charming countryside pub, the Royal Oak, awaits to serve you a delightful lunch. Afterward, simply give us a call, and a member of our team will arrange for your convenient collection. We'll then transport you back to your cars, which will be in the public car park parallel to the theatre.
