Have a question?

Do I need to pre-book?

We would recommend booking in advance; this way, you won't miss your chance to go punting and book yourself a guaranteed entry.

Can I access King's Collge wth this booking?

Unfortunately, no, this booking only provides you with a self-hire punt to stay on the river by the King's College during the event. If you would like to access the College is perhaps best to purchase event entry tickets on the King's College website.

What if I just turn up?

Unfortunately, you can not book this product at the kiosk. Boats are available to book online only.

How many people can go in a punt?

All of our self-hire punts are limited to 6 people (5 passengers + 1 punter). Babies and toddlers count towards the total number of passengers.

What should I wear?

We suggest that you wear something you don’t mind getting a little wet. Remember to dress appropriately for the weather. If there's a chance of rain, don't forget to bring a raincoat or umbrella. You need to make sure you have the correct footwear, which is non-slip, stable, can’t fall off easily and offers protection to your toes and heel. Please do not punt in bare feet or wear sandals, flip-flops, slip-on, leather-soled or high-heeled shoes

Do you offer life jackets?

Personal buoyancy aids for swimmers or life jackets for non-swimmers are available on request before your hire.

Can I bring food or drinks?

You are welcome to bring food and drinks. Please bring a bag to collect your waste and dispose of it in a bin after the event.
