Carols on the Avon

Join us for some festive carols live on the Avon River!

Our 30-minute Carols on the Avon punt tours will include live music performed on board a punt by various local community choirs and brass bands on Sunday 7 December and Sunday 14 December 2025 while guests are punted alongside to listen. This fantastic festive event is being held in conjunction with the Salvation Army, and wearing Christmas attire is encouraged. 

Infants aged under 5 years ride free when seated with an adult (and no separate seat required). All children aged 15 years and under must be accompanied by an adult. Please note that discount vouchers, Annual Pass discounts and combo passes are not valid for this exclusive offer. 

Seats are strictly limited, and this event is subject to weather dependency and may be cancelled for any reason: if this occurs guests will be notified by 9am on the day and will receive a full refund.
