About

Pulborough Paddles is a friendly, family-run canoe, kayak, and paddleboard hire business nestled on the banks of the beautiful River Arun in West Sussex. Our peaceful launch site is set in one of the most scenic and unspoiled stretches of the river, making it the ideal location for a relaxing day out in nature.

Whether you're looking for a solo paddle, a fun family adventure, or a group day out, we offer a welcoming environment with everything you need on-site — including free parking, clean toilets, ice creams, and locally sourced refreshments. It’s a great spot to unwind, enjoy a picnic, or take in the views before or after your paddle.

New for this year, we’ve added a spacious stretch tent, creating the perfect setup for post-paddle drinks, BBQs, and team gatherings.

Looking to bring your team together? We specialise in corporate events and team-building days, offering tailored packages that combine time on the water with space to relax, reconnect, and refresh. Whether it’s a casual paddle followed by a BBQ or a full-day retreat, we can help plan the perfect outing to suit your group.

Pulborough Paddles offers a friendly, down-to-earth experience with flexible hire options and a team that’s always happy to help.
