Wild Swimming
Open for swimmers to enjoy from 9.30am until 6pm.
Your safety and the protection of this beautiful space is really important to us.
• Please be a competent swimmer
• Avoid swimming if you’re unwell or have any medical concerns
• No diving or jumping (the water is shallow)
• Please bring your own towel
Our lakes are a protected SSSI site, home to rare dragonflies and damselflies. You can help us look after this special ecosystem by:
• Avoiding sunscreen, moisturiser, or other products before entering the water
• Using the lake respectfully and mindfully
At particularly busy times when we reach our maximum capacity in the lake, we may need to temporarily operate a one in, one out policy for safety purposes.
Children’s Bushcraft
We have teamed up with our friends at Mud & Guts, an outdoor adventure company, to offer children’s bushcraft activities including den building, fire lighting, animal tracking and games. There are sessions at 9.45-11.45am and 1.45-3.45pm for children aged 6-11.
Food & Drink
Our Well Fed team will be bringing the freshest dishes from Wasing’s organic farm and local producers. Enjoy delicious treats including breakfast pastries, braised beef, wood-fired pizzas, crêpes and artisan gelato, as well as a host of refreshing drinks, from adaptogenic coffee to botanical brews.
